The Triumph Sprint ST was a 4-stroke liquid-cooled, 12 valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder Sport touring motorcycle produced by Triumph between 1999 and 2011. It could reach a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). Max torque was 75.97 ft/lbs (103.0 Nm) @ 7500 RPM. Claimed horsepower was 122.97 HP (91.7 KW) @ 9100 RPM.


The 2001 Sprint ST shares the engine which moves the same model year Sprint RS and the Speed Triple, and this means plenty of power and torque even from the mid-range rpm. This machine is a sport-tourer par excellence, but with its sidecases coming off in seconds, it can be used as a daily commuter, too.
