Triumph Sprint description

Selling my excellent condition Sprint after three years of trouble free use. Low mileage for its age with just 21,360 miles. Never crashed, never down. Zero flaws that I can think of, beyond a few tiny (and I mean tiny - like invisible from 3 feet away) chips in the paint here and there.. Has had all scheduled services completed and has the latest ECU map. The factory recall to replace the rear shock linkage has been performed. Oil changed religiously, and has only seen Motul 300V full synthetic oil and factory Triumph filters during my ownership. Oil changed and Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires installed this spring with about 2000 miles ago.


Tastefully upgraded as follows:
Corbin seat
Shock has been revalved and re-sprung by Tmod (found via Triumphrat.net forums - highly recommended)
Stiffer fork springs (1.0 kg/mm)
EBC-HH brake pads front and rear
Factory heated grips
Sparkbright LED battery monitor
CNC adjustable clutch and brake levers (generic chinese things)
Handlebar risers will be included, but are not installed - they raise the bars a little more than an inch
Patch cable thingy should you want to re-flash the ECU yourself w/ Tuneboy.


All factory cases (side cases and optional top case) in the following condition: Previous owner sold the side cases and mounting hardware. I purchased brand new cases and hardware and installed them. They are in perfect, as-new condition, except that I have not purchased the color matching infill panels. The top case and its mount are also in perfect functional condition, but the case has some cosmetic flaws. I walloped a pothole or asphalt patch at speed one day and the top case went flying off and suffered some road rash. Like I stated, everything still works perfectly, but there are some scuffs and scratches.


I'm very conflicted about selling this bike! It has been an absolute blast to ride, and has performed flawlessly since the day I bought it. It is comfortable enough for all day touring, yet extremely capable in the twisties. My wife and I have done 300 mile days on it, with only minor complaints from the passenger compartment. The three cylinder mill makes the most entertaining racket. It growls at 3500, howls at 8500, and pops and burbles like a hot rod on throttle overrun. Gets almost 50mpg if I'm light on the throttle, and will do an honest 145mph two up. The Triumph triple really is one of motorcycling's great engines. Finally, I think it's an absolute looker! The only reason I'm selling is that I'm looking to find something that is a little more capable on dirt and gravel.

I am selling this locally as well, so this listing may disappear at any time if a buyer shows up at my door

Thanks.

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

Need something to do on August Bank Holiday weekend, then read below: "Although the South West Motorcycle Show has been running at the Westpoint Arena for the last sixteen years, 2010 is the first year that the show hosts the all-new Vertical Trix European Stunt Championship. The show contains all the usual attractions that have been delivered to motorcyclists from over the south-west and further afield since 1994 – including all the appropriate trade stands, and with strong support from local dealers – plus attractions such a a dyno on site, restaurant, bar, bike displays, live music and of course the live action arena. Although the action in the show arena has previously been stunt displays, rather than a full-on competition.
