Overall the Triumph Sprint RS is a very easy bike to ride considering its power and speed. The engine sounds throaty and beast-like, and the gears are as smooth as a hot knife through butter. I think the bike looks pretty good but I prefer the look of the Jap bikes, e.g Honda VFR, if I'm honest. That said, everone else loves it, so maybe I'm just used to looking at it. I am pretty annoyed about blistering on the black engine casing and on the alloys (only done 1,900 mainly dry miles) but perhaps I am just a perfectionist. I prefer riding it without a pillion on the back as, shallow as it seems, the bike looks much better with the seat cowling on, especially when parked up! Triumph really went to town at Windy Corner in Leicestershire when I was looking around and sold me the bike with a big smile. Sadly I haven't found the after-sales services as friendly.

Sorry to hear you had bad aftersales service. I can't fault Philip McCallen Motorcycles in Northern Ireland they are always helpful and friendly every time I go. I only called in while passing one day to see what there was and walked out with a new bike. I thought something was wrong with it but it turned out that it was my fault going to fast and expecting it to stop on a sixpence. I love the Triumph RS and I can't keep the wife of it. 100% better than my old Triumph Bonnie I had in the sixties.
