1999 Triumph Sprint ST 955i review from United Kingdom

"Not as quick as you'd expect, but it's BRITISH"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Battery died after dropping the bike at a standstill.

General comments?

Not as quick as you'd expect or want, but WHAT A SOUND.

I've put an aftermarket Barracuda oval exhaust on mine, and even with the baffles in, it sounds AWESOME.

The bike doesn't even compare to my Suzuki RF900R in performance stakes, but more people like the Triumph and it's British.
