Just because you want to do a bit of touring, it doesn't mean all excitement drains from your life and you are condemned to ride a bike with the personality of a tea towel. Oh no. This is what you do: Take one lusty, 125 bhp sports bike, mate it with a mile-munching, ABS optioned tourer and get...the Sprint ST - a brilliant touring sports bike. To pull this off, we matched 1050cc of torquey triple, a sweet handling chassis and top notch suspension to a relaxed riding position and more creature comforts than sports bikes ever get. Result? A great looking bike you can ride all day long without breaking your wrists, developing terminal cramp or anaesthetising your posterior (that goes for the pillion too - we've made their seat even comfier). The balance tips in favour of two-up touring on the 2007 bike with lockable, quick-detach panniers as standard.
Since its launch in 2005 the Sprint ST has won accolades from the press and public alike. For 2007 the package gets even better.
