In 2001, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint ST, a sport-touring fully-fired machine that debuted in 1999 and remained in production until the present (2023) in the UK and until 2014 in other markets.
The 2001 motorcycle was in its third year of production and followed the same recipe from the beginning without any significant modifications. The bike was available in Tornado Red, Sapphire Blue, and a newly introduced color option in the form of British Racing Green.
In other departments, the 2001 motorcycle was identical to previous models, packing the same standard features, including a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab handle, a three-into-one exhaust system with a single silencer mounted on the right side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
The bike was built around a lightweight aluminum beam perimeter frame that comprised a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the bike’s wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs, four-piston calipers on the front, and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear.
The 2001 Triumph Sprint ST had installed underneath its fuel tank a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 110 hp at 9,200 rpm and 97 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.
