Triumph Sprint Gt 1050
The Triumph Sprint Gt 1050 has a top speed of 225 km/h, produces 128 hp and weighs 236 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
De Triumph Sprint GT 1050 werd in 2010 geïntroduceerd als een evolutie van de Sprint ST op sporttoerisme, met een meer rechtopstaande zitpositie, geïntegreerde fietstassen en een herzien chassis voor comfort over lange afstanden. Hij is gebouwd op basis van de beproefde 1050cc driedubbele lijnmotor van Triumph en is ontworpen om in het sporttoersegment te concurreren met motoren zoals de Honda VFR800 en Kawasaki Versys. De auto bleef tot 2016 in productie en werd geprezen vanwege de balans tussen prestaties en toercapaciteiten, maar uiteindelijk werd hij stopgezet toen de Tiger-serie groeide om de markt voor avontuurlijke tournees te vullen.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Inspect the Throttle Bodies
The Sprint GT 1050 can develop rough idling or stuttering due to throttle body synchronization drift over time. Always request a recent throttle body sync service or budget for one at purchase.
Stable Resale Value
The Sprint GT holds its value reasonably well in the sport-touring segment due to its relatively low production numbers and strong brand loyalty. A well-maintained example with luggage commands a noticeable premium over stripped versions.
Check Coolant Hose Condition
Some owners report coolant hose deterioration and minor weeping leaks around the 30,000–40,000 mile mark, particularly on earlier models. Inspecting hose condition and the expansion tank cap before buying can save a costly surprise.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"An underrated all-rounder that punches well above its used price."
$5,500-$9,000 usedThe Sprint GT is one of those bikes that gets unfairly overlooked because it sits between categories — not quite a full tourer, not quite a sportsbike. That actually works in your favour as a used buyer because prices stay sensible while the bike itself is genuinely excellent. The 1050 triple is the real story here — smooth, characterful, and pulls hard from anywhere in the rev range. Long motorway stints feel effortless, and it handles far better than its weight suggests. That said, go in with eyes open. Check the luggage fitment carefully — the panniers and their mounts have a reputation for cracking if previous owners weren't gentle. The throttle bodies need periodic balancing or you'll get a rough idle that'll drive you mental. Early models had some fuelling hesitation low down; a Power Commander or ECU remap largely sorts it. Also budget for tyres — it eats the rear if you're pressing on regularly. Overall though, for the money you'll spend on a clean used example, it's a tremendous all-rounder that'll do track days in the morning and camping trips at the weekend.
