Re: [St] Reasons not to buy a Triumph Sprint

[brettwilson21@xxxxxxx]

Another traffic light incident while I was aboard my ST- 

>From a bloke in a truck that I drew along side: "Hey mate! Is that a real Triumph?"

I nodded that indeed it was.

"Did you know they're making triples again?!"

I conveyed my amazement at this revelation.

I can beat that. I live about 30 minutes away from the friend I bought my 
Trophy3 from. Five minutes from home, I got the "I used to have one of those, 
do they still make them?" comment from the car beside me at a red light :)

Oddly, I've never got such a comment on the ST, the Triumph logo is far too 
discreet IMHO especially with the Baglux tank bag base fitted (there is a 
Triumph logo on it, but it's even smaller and less visible than the one 
printed on the tank.) From the front, and most importantly, the rear, there 
is nothing that says "This is a TRIUMPH not Just Another Jap Four" :(
