“Had a 900 Blade for 7 years but found position uncomfortable when started doing longer motorway runs. Sprint much better and torquey so also easy in town. I rate it a great all rounder and no reliability issues in 4 years. Looks great in red and sounds amazing.

“Great bike for long motorway journeys, with the option to spit fire and make some noise in the twists and turns. Comfort, real character and the most beautiful sound, a real head turner. Down side is that I go through a battery every 12-18 months due to the factory installed alarm. A power Comander has enabled me to tailor the performance for economy, or sport- the odd thing is that even on sport the economy is better than the standard mapping !! Reliable except for the battery with all the toys as standard, highly recommended sprint St 955i version.”
“Fell in love with the looks of the sprint it sounds amazing even with standard cans , like its alive almost. Its quick but it could be quicker I toured on it to Belgium and did it both ways in 1 hit stopping for fuel only no problems , weak spot is wheel bearings mine seized up twice make sure they are greased on service , handles amazingly and with abs confidence inspiring sort out the last few issues triumph or make a Daytona 1050.”
“Great bike great handling. love the bike takes a bit of getting used the three cylinder rather than the four. especially rolling through corners. i would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy days out our a long tour.”
“4th one I've had so can't be all bad. Original seat and fixing is rubbish; paid out £400 for a Corbin Seat. Brilliant. And comes with a proper key latch too, not like the ridiculous Triumph original set up. I have hi-rise bars too; now it suits me very well.”
“The best all round sports touring bike I have owned. 66 years old , started with a BSA Bantam through British bike in the sixties to Japanese super-bikes, a Blackbird ( first class ) ended up with an ABS Sprint 1050 ST in black.
Also own a Daytona 675
The Sprint is comfortable and a joy to drive in all conditions, good handling makes rapid progress. Two up is recommended as the bike handles a pillion with ease, plenty of room and recommended for long distance touring. Standard seat very comfortable and don't see the need to upgrade to a gel seat.
If you get the chance, buy one, you will not be sorry.
