It's a bike that has never made compromises - it's defied them. It's a sports bike that covers distance, a touring bike that carves corners. It possesses a truly usable mix of poise, power and all-round practicality and in many ways is a true 'GT' motorcycle.The ST's 1050cc, fuel-injected, three-cylinder motor has huge reserves of torque for linear, effortless drive in any gear and ample horsepower for when it's needed. Peak power is an impressive 125PS at 9,250rpm while peak torque of 104Nm arrives at just 5,000rpm.Enhancing the engine is a buttery six-speed gearbox - with remote gear change linkage - and clutch fitted with an anti-backlash gear. The character of the three-cylinder layout is unfettered but the engine has a seamless polish that provides a perfect counterpoint to the lusty power delivery. The Sprint ST has an engine to revel in, to explore and, most of all, use to the full.Matching the Sprint ST's sublime engine is a superb chassis. An aluminium beam frame, featuring a wheelbase of 1454mm, makes for a fabulously composed yet fast-steering motorcycle, with a huge scope of ability. High quality 43mm cartridge telescopic forks, adjustable for spring preload, are used for fine control while the rear shock is remotely adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping. A pair of powerful, four-piston brake calipers mated to 320mm floating discs provide superb stopping power, a two-piston caliper and 255mm disc slow the rear wheel.The Sprint ST's sleek look is both functional and stunning and everywhere neat touches, like the chrome infill bars and front indicators set in the mirrors, add class. Styling cues, such as the triple front headlights and triple exit exhausts, LED rear light, complement each other fluidly and the Sprint ST has a cohesive air of a machine that mixes function and form perfectly. Instrumentation includes an LCD trip computer with average MPG and speed functions, amongst others. Fuel capacity is a useful 21 litres (5.5 gal US).The Sprint ST represents the very pinnacle of sports touring refinement. It's a bike that has never made compromises - it's defied them.
