TRIUMPHSprint ST 2004 - 2005

　　In 2004, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint ST, a sport touring machine that debuted in 1999. The 2004 machine was in its fifth year of production and was identical to the previous model without any modifications.

　　The bike packed standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, two roundish headlights, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a three-into-one exhaust system, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

　　The bike was built on a lightweight aluminum beam perimeter frame with a 43 mm cartridge-type adjustable fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.

　　In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper, offering excellent stopping power.

　　Underneath its full fairing, the 2004 Triumph Sprint ST had installed a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 120 hp with maximum strength at 9,100 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 5,100 rpm.

　　The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 231 kph (144 mph).
