2011 Triumph Sprint GT ABS. 11,500 miles. Delkevic Custom Exhaust. ( includes original exhaust)Recent tires. Plenty of tread left. Only synthetic oil used. 1,000 miles on oil change. Custom striping on bike. Union Jack painted on back side of windshield. of torque (80) delivered 1200 rpm lower in the rev range. Both increases are solely the result of improved engine-management and fuel-mapping programming and the switch from an underseat exhaust to a more conventional and efficient low-exit right-side muffler. Chassis-wise, everything from the back of the gas tank rearward is completely new, while everything forward is largely the same, save for a few improvements that include a redesigned upper fairing and headlight array, and revised damping in the conventional right-side-up fork to reduce front-end dive when braking. Also, ABS is now standard, working with lighter brake rotors pinched by reformulated pads. At the back end, a longer single-sided swingarm increases stability by extending the wheelbase more than 3 inches, from 57.4 to 60.5, and it mounts an all-new shock that features a remote spring-preload adjuster easily turned by hand. The rear wheel is 2.2 pounds lighter than the ST's, and both wheels are fitted with Bridgestone BT-021 dual-compound tires. The quick-detachable saddlebags now have a 31-liter capacity (enough to swallow any XXL full-face helmet), 9 more than the GT, and a sizable luggage rack is standard. Out on the road, all these changes prove their mettle in convincing fashion. The GT's redesigned seat proved exceptionally comfortable, both on the mixed surfaces of Scotland's endless two-lane roads as well as on the smooth, fast motorways in England, and the ride is just firm enough to keep the chassis well under control at all times. Though the bike is heavier (Triumph had no official figure but one representative claimed the GT only weighs "about 11 pounds" more than the ST) and longer, it out-handles its predecessor, thanks to its better suspension, tires and weight distribution. And the torque output is especially impressive, providing a seamless, linear delivery of acceleration that pulls hard and easily from as low as 2000 rpm. Competetive priced,,,,&6,900.
