I was looking for a Sprint when getting rid of the CBR, but couldn't find a nice one anywhere.  So got another Fazer, and very happy I did  :)


My fantasy garage would have at least 3 Triumphs (and a repair van to follow me around).

I just love that triple. My Tiger 1050 flew once I tuned it up.

Is that the ST or the GT?

I've looked at the Sprint 1050 ST in the past and took one for a test ride (which was very nice) and I may well get one if finances pick up a bit...

Well that and it's a bit longer which might might it better for long distance riding, but not so great for riding the twisties :)

How many miles does it have on it? One concern I've got is that wheras the Fazer only needs a major service every 24,000 miles, the ST needs one done every 12,000 and which is about £500 from what I've read, so it increases the running costs noticably.
