    Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in. When you find you're new bike the inmates will need photos too keep them quite.

    Yes 2008 1050 ABS with full triumph panniers.

    Won't be carrying a pillion as other half has a Fireblade.

    I have a 1999 Sprint St 955i and a 2010 Sprint St Abs 1050 both for sale.

    The 955i has 30k or so on the clock. I suffered a low speed drop on ice+diesel so the right hand fairing is scuffed. Brand new rear tyre.

    The 1050 has just 10k on the clock. When I bought it it had been a cat D right off - i.e. cosmetic damage only to the fairings, which have been repainted. There are two small cracks still in the plastic, but you have to be up real close to notice. I'll be selling for at least £500 below CAP.

    Check out my gallery for photos.

    Both were fully serviced and MOT'd less than 18 months ago. Since then the 1050 hasn't been ridden and the 955i has been out maybe 150 miles. Both will pass again no problem.

    The reason for not riding them is the sudden onset of an auto-immune system collapse, eventually diagnosed as inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis. I now just don't find the riding position particularly comfortable.

    If you'd like more info pm me.

    Finally found and purchased a Sprint ST, fully loaded with low mileage and full service history.
