Justen,

this point.

  Subject: How reliable is a Triumph?


  I am thinking about purchasing a Triumph Sprint ST at some point and =
am wondering how reliable they are.  I went down to a motorcycle =
dealership and talked to a salesman who said that Triumph makes the =
motorcycles that have required the least amount of warranty work out of =
pretty much all brands for the last three years or so.  This is very =
reasuring for me, but I would still like to get some feedback from =
people riding a Triumph, that are not trying to sell me one.  How =
expensive are they to maintain?  How often do they need parts replaced =
and that sort of thing?

  Thanks,

  Justen
