Triumph Sprint description

As a lifelong sports bike owner I bought this bike because it offers the best of both worlds. I lived in Houston when I bought this bike and it was a 200 mile ride to get to any roads that were worth riding on! So I figured that at my advanced age a sport touring bike made sense. After a brief and disappointing experience with a BMW K1200LT I settled on this beautiful Triumph Spring GT. With the panniers on it makes a great tourer and with them off it is basically a sports bike capable of hanging with the big boys! Previously I had 2 Triumph Speed Triples and I love that this bike has the same engine, arguably the best motorcycle engine ever made with mountains of torque and an top end - smooth, fast and powerful. Since then my circumstances have changed and I have moved to Reno where I have the roads I was seeking on my doorstep - so the Triumph has sadly been replaced by a Ducati - which is awesome by the way! The bike has 5500 miles on it - I rode it from Daytona Beach FL to Houston when I bought it and it has been to Laguna Seca since then (guess why) Other than that it has only done local rides. The bike has never seen a drop of rain and has been kept in a garage on a battery tender and under a cover. This bike has all of the Triumph upgrades - raised screen, heated grips and Triumph tank protector. I also have a tail pack (pictured) and a magnetic tank bag which is about as much use on the Ducati at a Chocolate Tea-Pot since it has a plastic tank - I will throw these into the deal. The bike itself is as new - there is a small scratch on one of the passenger grab-rails where another bike fell on it at the dealership and the panniers (which can be lifted off like suitcases) have a couple of boot scuff marks that could be buffed out and one blemish caused by the movers that brought the bike to Reno (I know I should have ridden it but I didn't have time!) Other than that this is clean honest and very capable motorcycle that will make you grin from ear to ear. Look at my profile and bid with confidence. Any inspection or test ride welcome.

Triumph TE-1: a breakthrough in the world of electric bikes or just another fairy tale?

Sat, 20 Mar 2021

According to Triumph engineers, the fully ready-to-use TE-1 electric bike will weigh 220 kg, while it will be equipped with a 174 hp electric motor, and a 15 kWh batt ery will provide a cruising range of about 200 km. But the most important thing is not even these figures, but the charging speed: from 0 to 80% in just 20 minutes! This can already make even the most inveterate petrolheads turn their attention to "electric fellows".

Glen Richards back with Embassy Racing

Wed, 27 Oct 2010

One of the unsung heroes of the BSB paddock over the past few seasons, has to be 2010 Superstock 1000 runner up Glen Richards. A nasty tumble in at the Brands Hatch opener lead to four DNFs, but once back on track he pushed the dominant BMWs hard, finishing on the podium eight times. While many were trading their grannies to fund new S1000RRs, Richards kept the faith and rode the wheels off his Padgett’s Honda Fireblade.

2013 Triumph Trophy Fuel Tank Recall Now Includes US

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

A recent recall announced for the 2013 Triumph Trophy and Trophy SE for a potential fuel leak has now expanded to the U.S. The recall, previously announced by Transport Canada, concerns a production error for the fuel tank of the affected units. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the two layers used in the construction of the fuel tank may not properly adhere to each other, resulting in a potential fuel leak.
