Triumph Sprint St 1050
The Triumph Sprint ST 1050 was introduced in 2005 as a replacement for the Sprint ST 955i, featuring the new 1050cc inline-triple engine shared with the Speed Triple and Tiger. It was praised for its blend of sport touring capability, comfort, and engaging performance, making it a popular choice for long-distance riders who still wanted spirited handling. Production continued until 2011, when it was discontinued as Triumph shifted focus to other models in their lineup.

What Buyers Should Know
Throttle Body Issues
Early models (2005-2007) are known for throttle body synchronization problems causing rough idle and surging. Always ask for service history confirming this has been addressed or budgeted ~$150-300 for a dealer sync.
Strong Resale Value
The Sprint ST 1050 holds its value better than many sport-tourers due to its loyal Triumph following and versatile character. Well-maintained examples consistently sell for $4,500-$7,000 depending on mileage and condition.
Bulletproof 1050 Triple
The 1050cc inline-triple engine is widely regarded as one of Triumph's most reliable and long-lasting powerplants, commonly running strong past 60,000 miles with proper maintenance. It's a major reason buyers actively seek out this model.
