Sprint 1050 GT (2011 - present) review
Just ridden the brand new £9,499 Triumph Sprint GT for an hour through the Scottish highlands and have just stopped at a petrol station to check the tyre pressure, all was as it should be.
The steering is incredibly heavy and lifeless, perhaps an attribute of the extended wheelbase courtesy of a longer swingarm.
On an upside is the amazing high speed stability of the Sprint GT but it may take the rest of the afternoon to understand if Triumph have gone a tad too far in the wrong direction in the geometry stakes. At least the afternoon’s ride to Skye will be comfy…
