Happy new(er) bike day to me

Post by v8-powered »

After a bit of deliberation and finally dismissing a BMW K1200 due to aggro getting a topbox for one, I've thrown my money at British (sort of!) Instead and picked up a 2011 model Triumph Sprint ST1050.

Not a bad thing, always loved the triple engines. Came with full luggage including top box and on digging deeper found it had been fitted with a Scottoiler and R&G rad guard too.
It had done zero miles since having 2 new Pirelli's fitted plus a new C&S, also has front and rear dash cams via 2 tiny cameras and a little recording unit.

Normal ST1050.
Did look at the GT but just seemed a bit too big for my use plus like the underseat exhaust of the ST.
