    Hi all. I'm new to triumph and this site, even though I've had bikes for 30 years! Here is a photo of my Triumph. I own a Yamaha Mt07 2016 model and was looking for a second bike for a bit of touring with the wife. I found this 2001 sprint RS. Absolutely mint.

    Hello & welcome.

    Good choice sir. I bought my first Triumph in 35 years of biking, a 955i Speed Triple and I love it.

    Thanks for all the comments. Yes it's very well cared for. I bought it as one owner from new with 19k miles in 15 years. I have an obligation to keep it hence why I spend so much time cleaning and lung!
