About Triumph Sprint ST 2005
The 2005 Triumph Sprint ST stands as a testament to the British marque's commitment to blending sportiness with long-distance comfort, carving a niche in the sport-touring category. This motorcycle is tailored for those who crave the exhilaration of a spirited ride while also desiring the practicality for extended journeys. Wrapped in a sleek, aerodynamic design and available in striking colors like Aluminium Silver and Caspian Blue, the Sprint ST is not just a motorcycle; it's an invitation to adventure.
At the heart of the Sprint ST lies a robust 1050cc in-line three engine, producing a thrilling 125 horsepower at 9250 RPM. This powerplant delivers an impressive torque of 104 Nm at 5000 RPM, making it highly responsive in both urban settings and on winding country roads. The liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine is paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, allowing riders to seamlessly shift through gears while enjoying a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5952 HP/kg. This performance translates into an engaging ride—one that inspires confidence and encourages riders to push their limits, whether they’re navigating tight corners or cruising on the open highway.
The Sprint ST is equipped with an array of advanced features designed to enhance both safety and comfort. Its aluminum beam perimeter frame contributes to a lightweight yet rigid structure, while the 43mm cartridge forks with adjustable preload at the front and monoshock rear suspension ensure a plush ride, absorbing road imperfections with ease. Braking performance is equally impressive, featuring double disc brakes with 4-piston calipers in the front and a single disc at the rear, providing robust stopping power for spirited rides. The bike’s generous fuel capacity of 16.60 liters means fewer stops on long journeys, allowing riders to enjoy the open road for longer.
PROS:
- Dynamic Performance: The powerful 1050cc engine offers exhilarating acceleration and responsive handling, making it suitable for both spirited rides and long-distance touring.
- Comfort and Ergonomics: With an adjustable seat height and well-designed ergonomics, the Sprint ST provides comfort for both rider and passenger, perfect for long trips.
- Advanced Suspension System: The adjustable suspension setup allows for personalized tuning, enhancing ride quality and stability across various riding conditions.
CONS:
- Weight: At 210 kg (463 pounds), the Sprint ST may feel heavy at low speeds, especially for less experienced riders.
- Niche Market: While versatile, the sport-touring category may not appeal to riders who prefer either dedicated sportbikes or cruiser styles.
- Limited Wind Protection: The fairing design, while sleek, might not provide as much wind protection as some dedicated touring motorcycles, potentially affecting comfort on high-speed rides.
Overall, the 2005 Triumph Sprint ST stands out as a remarkable blend of sport and touring capabilities, making it an excellent choice for riders who refuse to compromise on performance or comfort.
