1998 Triumph Sprint 900 from Australia
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.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
