New sprint GT

Postby Shytown » Sun Jul 11, 2010 8:54 am

Is anyone thinking as i am,
What a joke, lower the exhaust move the pillion pegs forward to clash the drivers feet, add a touring windshield, and different seat and call it a GT,,,WTF are they thinking?
Give me cruise control, give me an electrically adjustable windshield with my sport screen and make some of these options instead of what is currently offered, i love my bike, but the new GT i expected alot more from Triumph, now does this mean that they are now planning on making a bigger engine with more power, the 1050 is plenty but no matter what you ride, the desire for more is always there! Still very happy with the purchase, i am not trying to cause any mean arguements, but there is plenty of room for debate!

The Sprint (GT or ST) is a sport-touring bike with the emphasis on sport.

There's a serious touring bike on the way that I expect will have all of those amenities (as well as a larger engine). It's one of the several new models Triumph is putting out in the next two years.
