Slideshow

We test the Triple-powered Triumph tourer over a thousand-plus miles of our favorite byways to discover if the Sprint lives up to its ST moniker. See what we thought during our 2007 Triumph Sprint ST Bike Test.

2007 Triumph Sprint ST - Wallpaper

Power production on the Sprint is a nice blend of brute horsepower and usable torque. The flat torque curve means powert is always right there when you need it, from bottom to top, while horsepower comes on strong and steady with the upper revs really cranking it out. 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

The marina makes for a good backdrop. We didn't need much excuse to snap pics of the photogenic Triumph.
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_lights_1.jpg
When the sun settles into the horizon this trio of head lamps really light things up by throwing a wide path of light ahead. On high-beam, the center bulb illuminates much farther ahead but does not quite provide the side-to-side coverage of the low beams. - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

Self correcting turn signals would have been nice, but we can live with the standard unit.
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_instruments.jpg
The Triumph Sprint ST's instrument cluster is a good-looking assortment of analog gauges and LCD display. - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

The Nissin front brakes deliver steady and reliable stopping power.

The Sprint's bodywork looks good, but when we peeled some off to hook it up to our dyno the fit and finish disappointed us.
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_bagsopen.jpg
The Trumpet's hard luggage provides a decent amount of storage and the retention system straps make sure your various sundries stay in place while you track down and dispatch Gixxer-punks like so much cannon-fodder - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_bags.jpg
After we got used to them, the Triumph's bags were easy to open and remove. The $900 optional bags would be one of our first purchases if the ST was ours. - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

The Triumph Sprint ST looks good coming or going. If you look closely you can see a tear welling up in the corner of bart's eye because he knows that the end is coming soon. He will have to part with Red and he will have to return home to his wife before this journey is over. - 2007 Triumph Sprint S

Our graphic designer, Robin, throws the Trumpet around a bend.

On the rocks... on the Oregon Coast.

People like pictures of lighthouses and motorcycles, so...

The Triumph looked good wherever we propped it up for a photo.

The ocean is purdy and so's the Triumph.

Another beauty pic, let us know if it gets old.

The Tornado Red Triumph just pops with color on our coastal journey. Photographer Tom Lavine noted again and again in his notes how good looking he thought this bike is. - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_12.jpg
The Sprint's riding position is upright with a slight pitch forward. This takes a toll on the rider's wrists during long highway stints. - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

Red poses next to one of the giant Coastal Redwoods that litter US-199 - the Redwood Highway.
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_10.jpg
US-199 is known as the Redwood Highway in our neck of the woods. Funny thing is, Bart's affair with ol Red often left him feeling invisible, almost overshadowed by the good looks of the ST - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

The Triumph Sprint ST will take you on some beautiful backroads in style and comfort.
2007_Triumph_Sprint_ST_6.jpg
Curvy roads? Not a problem on the Sprint. The bike is well balanced and the wide bars make it easy to transition from side to side. 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

A bend in the road is something to relish aboard the Triumph Sprint ST.

The $900 optional side-ounted panniers are well integrated into the ST's styling - 2007 Triumph Sprint ST

'Crash' Madson really enjoyed the ST during his time with her. So much so that he even named her 'Red' and held conversations while riding. I think this means Bart needs a vacation. 2007 Triumph Sprint ST
