Faults:

Nothing - it's been the best bike ever, just maintain it.

General Comments:

I'm a small person at 5'6" and an older fart at 49. I have had many bikes in all sorts of conditions, from new to very poor. This bike just makes you smile like you’re a kid again.

I agree with the comments that there is just something about it. Just a quick ride or a blast down the Great Ocean Road, I have never been disappointed.

The riding position for a large bike is great, even if you are short. The power is spot on and the bike has character.

The filter change is shocking, but I have put a couple of foam pre-filters into the air intake – this makes the task less frequent, and generally the air filter is clean when checked.

If you want a cheap great bike, you will not be disappointed.

Faults:

Clutch pushrod seal leaked at about 16000km.

Replaced electronic sender unit at about 90000km.

Alternator stud bolt has been replaced about 3 times.

General Comments:

This is a very well built motorcycle; it's over engineered and built to last; they were Triumph's come back after all.

The Sprint handles well. It's no sports bike, but loaded up with panniers, it's rock solid at high speed.

I have a Corbin seat fitted; very comfortable, and three into one exhaust system for a bit of extra power; sounds great too.

I have ridden the latest Sprint GT; it's a nice bike that does everything great, but it has no character, it's boring; you could be riding a Honda Blackbird for example.

Faults:

Starter sprague clutch went at 120.000kms.

Igniter box replaced under warranty.

Coils, all three one after the other over the space of 3 months...

Seat recovered at 100.000kms (Aussie Sun).

General Comments:

Very comfortable for hours of riding, the ergonomics for me are spot on. Up there with the old Yamaha XS1100..

Beefed up the suspension with Ohlins springs in the front and an Ohlins type 4 shock out the back.

Also has the best aftermarket exhaust in the world - Staintune stainless steel pipes and K&N air filter.

Oil changes every 5,000/6,000.

She is heavy in the brakes... front pads last 10/11 months..

I run her on bridgestones BT/020's and regularly get 18,000kms out of the rear.

I ride each and every day (no car licence) to work and otherwise...

Sometimes we use the car to get out in sometimes, but the bike usually wins out.

This is one motorcycle that gets better with more kms on the clock...

With the exception of the above faults, I have nothing but the highest of praise for this bike (enough so that I don't think I will ever get rid of her).
