British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph has just launched the Grand Tourer version of its popular 1050cc Sprint ST sports touring bike. The Triumph Sprint GT is, in fact, based more on the touring side of the model, and features a restyled front fairing and an updated 130 bhp engine.

According to the manufacturer, on the cockpit riders will find a comprehensive three dial instrument panel with a large, traditional analogue speedometer and tachometer while the third dial hosts the readout for the onboard computer where the rider can scroll through fuel consumption, range-to-empty, journey time, average speed and clock functions.

"The motorcycle market continues to become more refined, which calls for manufacturers to evolve our product lines to provide what customers are demanding,"
said Jim Callahan, North American Marketing Manager for Triumph Motorcycles. "The Sprint GT blends all of the great performance and style of the Sprint ST with some additional comfort and storage space that sport touring riders are looking for."

The bike also features new 31 liter panniers, standard ABS brakes, a 200-mile fuel range, an optional top box that is capable of accommodating two full-sized helmets, and a 12 volt power supply that allows ‘on the go’ charging of electrical items such as laptops and mobile phones.

The range of accessories include heated handlebar grips, a taller aero screen, optional gel comfort seat and high quality magnetic tank bags which can increase the Sprint GT's luggage capacity another 30 liters.

The Sprint GT will be available in US dealerships this fall as early release 2011 models, wearing a price tag of $13,199.
