Triumph Sprint Rs
The Triumph Sprint Rs has a top speed of approximately 225 km/h, produces 104 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
Triumph Sprint RSは、Sprint STのスポーツツーリング用派生モデルとして1999年に発売されました。同一の955cc直列3気筒エンジンを搭載していますが、よりアグレッシブでスポーツに焦点を当てたスタンスとスタイリングを備えています。完全なスポーツバイクと、より快適さを重視したスプリントSTの中間地点として位置づけられ、ある程度のツーリング能力を備えたスポーティなパフォーマンスを求めるライダーにとって魅力的でした。生産は2004年まで行われ、トライアンフの現代の三気筒時代を最もカリスマ的に表現したものの1つとして記憶に残っています。

購入者が知っておくべきこと
Watch the Coolant Hoses
Older Sprint RS models (1999-2004) are known for deteriorating coolant hoses and water pump seals — always inspect these before buying. A pre-purchase coolant system check can save you hundreds in repairs.
Strong Resale Stability
The Sprint RS holds its value reasonably well in the used sport-tourer market due to its loyal Triumph following and relatively low production numbers. Well-maintained examples with service history command noticeably higher prices.
Unique Triple Engine Character
The 955cc inline-triple engine delivers a distinctive torque curve that outperforms comparable four-cylinder rivals in mid-range pull, making it genuinely versatile for both commuting and longer tours. This engine is considered one of Triumph's most charismatic and reliable units from that era.

"スポーツバイクを退屈に聞こえさせたトリプル。"
その955トリプルは、4,000rpmから貨物列車のように引っ張り、それをすると本当に汚く聞こえます。そのエキゾーストノートに勝る日本的なものはありません。私は3年間かけて18,000マイル走りました。そのほとんどはAロードで、たまにサーキットデーもありましたが、シャシーがその奥行きから抜け出すことは一度もありませんでした。USDフォークは十分にダンピングされていて、片側のスイングアームは単なる見せ物ではありません。正直なところ、フェアリングは時速100マイルを超えると胸に強い風が当たり、街では燃料の急上昇が厄介でした。初期のバイクでは、サービスをスキップするとカムチェーンテンショナーを食べるという厄介な癖がありました。現在、部品の在庫は厳しくなっており、トライアンフのディーラーネットワークは常に不安定です。購入前にそのための予算を立ててください。

"A characterful, rewarding buy if you choose carefully and budget wisely."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe Sprint RS is one of Triumph's genuinely overlooked gems from the early 2000s. That 955cc triple pulls like a train from 3,000rpm and sounds absolutely savage with an aftermarket can — it's the kind of engine that makes you forget modern bikes exist. Handling is sorted too; the RSs got better suspension geometry than the standard Sprint ST, and it shows through sweeping A-roads where it feels planted and confidence-inspiring rather than nervous. That said, buy with your eyes open. These are 20-plus-year-old bikes now, and the fuel injection mapping on early models was notoriously flat below 4,000rpm — annoying in traffic. Cooling fans fail silently, rectifiers fry and kill batteries overnight, and fork seals on unmaintained examples will be weeping. Budget £300-400 immediately for consumables regardless of what the seller tells you. Service history matters enormously here — find a fastidious previous owner or walk away.
