The Triumph Sprint ST is a sport touring motorcycle manufactured in the United Kingdom since 1999 by Triumph. With its large 4-stroke three-cylinder engine, an alloy-beam frame and a single-sided swingarm, it competed successfully in the market against the Honda VFR800.
The Sprint ST was first introduced in 1999 as a complete redesign of the earlier Sprint 900 (1993–1998) styled by Rod Scivyer. It used the 955 cc straight-three engine similar to those found in the contemporaneous Speed Triple and Daytona models, only slightly detuned for smoother power delivery. Claimed power was 97 bhp (72 kW), later increased to 105 bhp (78 kW).
The model's appearance remained mostly unchanged from its introduction in 1999. An engine revamp with the assistance of Lotus in 2002 increased output to 118 bhp (88 kW) at 9100rpm and 100 N·m (74 lbf·ft) of torque at 5100rpm from a lighter engine—the bike is 207 kg (456 lb) dry.
In 2005, Triumph introduced a redesigned Sprint ST based around the same inline triple, increased in stroke to yield a displacement of 1,050 cc (64 cu in) and with a new fuel injection system. Power output increased to (123 hp / 90 Kw @ 9250 rpm), with torque of (104 Nm / 77 ft-lb @ 5000 rpm). The 1050 ST redesigned chassis had a shorter wheelbase, the instrument cluster was modernised with miles-per-gallon and miles-to-empty displays, triple exhaust pipes were tucked under the seat, the headlights were completely redesigned and LED tail-lights added. Also, a range of options including pannier mounts and anti-lock brakes (ABS 2006 onwards) became available.
The model continued unchanged until it was replaced by the Sprint GT in 2010. Some modifications were made to the standard trim of the bike for the 2007 model year (colour-matched panniers, handlebar risers and an improved windscreen), and in 2008 the original composite fuel tank was replaced by a steel fuel tank of the same size / shape to allow the use of magnetic tank bags. Also in 2008 a new headlamp design and new footrests (with more durable rubber) were introduced.
