Thumbs up Sprint st 1050

I Just got off this one and thought I'd let you guys know my impressions.

! holy cow are my seeds sweaty (the heat hits 'um inside of 60 sec.) this is a sterilizer WORSE than the 51

The powerband is non exsistant it pulls heavy smooth power like an FJ but spools up quicker.Plentygood

Brakes are abrubt and a bit grabby but predictable.

It cloverleafs steady as a rock,non adjustible line without effort,the tank was full but it seemed a bit top heavy.

Under decel below 5k the exaust sounds totally unique like someone took the packing out cool

You can feel every pebble on the road and bar vibes might get old ?

This is a great street bike I want to keep it

Triples are sweet

P.S. Thanks Marty it wheelies nice

Very accurate first impressions! I sure have enjoyed mine after one year of ownership. It'd be hard to imagine a better sport-tourer.

I can't stand mine. After owning it for a year and taken several long trips on it, I can see many shortcuts Trumpet took in making this bike. It lacks that 100K+ mile potential- even with good care...

I'm going to sell it and get a GS Adventure. After
