The Triumph Sprint 900 was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by the British maker from 1991 to 1998 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire. The bike was designed by Rod Skiver and powered by an 885cc three-cylinder engine similar to the one used on the Triumph Trident 900, which shared many interchangeable parts.
The bike was originally called the Trident Sprint until 1995, when it was named the Sprint 900. It was replaced by the Triumph Sprint RS and also by the Triumph Sprint ST. One review said the Sprint was "basically a Trident 900 with a cockpit fairing, but that didn't prevent it from being a solid workhorse tourer".
In the appearance department, the bike was equipped with standard features, such as a half fairing with two round headlights, a medium windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and twin three-spoke aluminum wheels.
Underneath its clothes, the 1993 Triumph Sprint 900 had installed an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 99 hp at 9.500 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch that spun the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 226 kph (140 mph).
