i have a sprint st 955i. it has almost the same exhaust note as this new machine. I noticed all 955i and 1050i triple engines make tick, tick, tick sound seems to me like cam chain tensioner failure . I recently bought a new bike GSXR1000, it's much quieter at the valve train. So when I hopped back on my sprint I thought there was something wrong with the valves or cam chain. But after I watched several videos on youtube, I think it's just a character that these triples have.

@niurou Yep...they all seem to have that same "character"....at least all the Triumphs I test do....and I ride quiet a few.

Great review! How would you compare thus bike to the FJR? I have been looking at the Sprint GT, but my dealer keeps pushing me towards the FJR (they sell both). I will be doing a lot of 2-up riding as well. I usually only put about 3,000-4,000 miles on per season. the other thing I noticed is that I tend to lean forward more on the Sprint GT than the FJR. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks.

The "Mother Ship" part is awesome. I hear that EXACT same group of sounds every time I take my girl in the garage.

I have had a Hayabusa, zx14, and many others but none make sounds like my Sprint.

Thanks for the info.

The increased power is solely due to the side pipe and map to match. The S bend over the old ST tire was causing both a restriction and a longer than normal exhaust. now with the side pipe, it can naturally give more power and under seat storage as a bonus. I have just put a new 1050 engine into my 955st so I get all the advantages you mention including a longer wheel base, more power and not the weight of the GT. my comments were also heard by triumph, but i did not ask for a heavier bike.

Good review. I think if you could organize your thoughts a little better before hitting the "record" button, your narration would move along at a better pace. It was a little tedious waiting for you while you searched for the point you wanted to make. Otherwise, I thought you did a fair critique of the bike.

Good review, I think I've read every one done on this bike since it was released. Just ordered mine today, now just have to wait for the snow to melt and the roads to clear before riding it!
