I am not particularly happy with Triumphs ideas of innovation as of late
(in the styling department). After looking at what they have done to the
Speed Triple and the Daytona, I would be happy if they just left the Sprint
alone thank you. They took one of the sexiest tail sections out there and
turned it into just another bland, no character, piece of plastic. I was
considering buying a Speed Triple and feel strongly enough about it that I
would give up the added horsepower of the new ones for the styling of the
older models. I think it goes plenty fast the way it is : )
