Triumph Sprint Gt
The Triumph Sprint Gt has a top speed of 225 km/h, produces 128 hp and weighs 234 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
The Triumph Sprint GT was introduced in 2010 as a sport-touring evolution of the Sprint ST, featuring a more upright riding position, increased luggage capacity, and improved wind protection. It was powered by Triumph's proven 1050cc inline triple engine and targeted riders seeking long-distance comfort without sacrificing performance. Production continued until around 2016, when it was eventually phased out as Triumph shifted focus to other models in its lineup.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Throttle Bodies
The Sprint GT's 1050cc triple can develop throttle body sync issues over time, causing rough idle or hesitation. Regular synchronization during service intervals keeps it running smoothly.
Strong Resale Retention
Triumph triples have a loyal following, and the Sprint GT holds its value better than many competitors in the sport-touring segment. A well-maintained example commands a premium over neglected bikes.
Check Luggage Latch Wear
The integrated hard panniers are a standout feature, but the latch mechanisms are known to wear or become stiff with age. Inspect them carefully before buying, as replacements can be costly.
Generations & Specs by Year
Single production generation; 1050cc inline-triple, sport-touring bodywork, ABS, optional panniers, discontinued 2017.
Used Buyer Review
"The overlooked tourer that punches well above its used price."
$5,500-$9,000 usedThe Sprint GT is Triumph's answer to the BMW R1200RT question nobody asked, and honestly it's better for it. This is a proper long-distance tourer hiding inside a sport-tourer's clothing — the 1050 triple pulls effortlessly from 3,000rpm and sounds genuinely magnificent doing it. Ergonomics suit six-hour days without complaint, the screen works, and those panniers are genuinely useful rather than decorative. For used money, it's a serious machine. Buy one with the service history intact because the cam chain tensioner on earlier models can cause grief if neglected. Check the throttle bodies are balanced — rough idle usually means they've been ignored. Suspension is outdated by modern standards but competent, and Triumph dealers can be pricey. Budget for a new rear tyre immediately; they always seem to arrive on square rubber.
