The Triumph Sprint ST was a sport-touring machine dressed in a full fairing that debuted in 1999 and remained in production until the present (2023) in the UK and from 1999 to 2014 in other markets. The bike competed in the market with the Japanese Honda VFR800 model.
In 2006, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint ST, a motorcycle in its eighth year of production that featured a significant refreshment in 2005, introducing a more powerful engine, a new chassis, and new color schemes.
The 2006 motorcycle was available in an ABS version alongside a non-ABS model and painted with three different colors, including Sunset Red, Caspian Blue, and Aluminum Silver.
In addition, the bike was available with a wide range of Triumph accessories, such as panniers, heated grips, a top box, an Aero windscreen, a GPS satellite navigation system, a carbon fiber tank bag, an alarm with an immobilizer, and a silencer made only for off-the-road use.
In the aesthetic department, the bike had a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a redesigned headlight, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, an exhaust system with a three-pipe muffler under the seat, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.
As for the power figures, the 2006 Triumph Sprint ST had its soul brought to life by a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a revised fuel injection system in charge, delivering 123 hp at 9,250 rpm and 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
