The Triumph ST was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by the British company from 1998 to the present (2023) in the UK and from 1998 to 2014 in other markets. The bike debuted in 1999 as a complete redesign of the Triumph Sprint 900.
In 2000, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Sprint ST, a motorcycle in its second year of production that featured minor modifications, such as a new Electronic Control Module (ECM) with the same functions but smaller and lighter, and the two color options were joined by a third one, Sapphire Blue.
The visual appearance was identical to the previous model, packing standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a three-into-one exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 2000 Triumph Sprint ST had installed a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 110 hp at 9,200 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.
The bike was built on a lightweight aluminum beam perimeter frame with a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs paired with four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
