1995 Triumph Sprint 900 review from United States of America
"A big comfortable all purpose road bike with a great motor"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Oil leak when new. Seal replaced under warranty.
Head light bulbs and instrument bulbs have been replaced.
Carburetors plugged up once, my own fault; left it parked all winter.
General comments?
I should probably want a new motorcycle, but I don't. I have so much fun on this thing every time I ride it.
I had a DynoJet carburetor kit and some Micron slip-ons installed a few years ago with impressive results. The motor has a great personality, the power is easily accessible with no four cylinder buzz.
Everyone says these bikes are top heavy, it's only noticeable when not moving or at extremely slow speeds, I don't consider it a problem.
Very stable at high speeds. Big sweeping curves are lots of fun. Even though it's not considered a real sport bike, it does pretty well against the repli-racers on a curvy road.
I could get a serious sport bike, but then I'd have to give up some comfort and I'm not old enough for a cruiser, so, I think I'll keep it.
