We know: Jean-Luc March we said recently that he lacked the GT in the range motor Triumph. Since then, we have learned, reliable source that the mark English will unveil in March or April next its first offensive on this front of reconquest.

In 2010, Triumph is reneging on the segment of touring. First brick of this offensive, the Sprint ST will give up his in the spring a motorcycle versatile, that we call for the moment Sprint Trophy on our first photomontage unveiled here, fault info more accurate on this subject. To the menu this therefore public road, the more comfort for the crew, a capacity of increased load and of active safety a braking, ABS in series.

To do this, Triumph chooses in a first time a simple solution, which allows in the same time not too dirty addition. Thus, this new GT “light” resumed the basis of the Sprint ST 1050 current, which will kindly leave the catalog. Among the changes the most important, the shroud changing in his drawing and its form, more generous and receives a bubble more wrap. The handlebars is enhanced to raise the bust of pilot and provide a ergonomics most restful.

The Triumph Rocket III Touring is equipped with the ABS in series… but in Germany only. Our neighbors to the Rhine thus prove, once more, their penchant for safety. But at home, lack of real success, Triumph France hesitates to do enter models with the ABS.

This explains the success of Rocket 3 standard and Rocket 3 Roadster. This is even difficult to obtain among French retailers as it please.

Rocket 3 Touring, it, even though not strengths. Generous, but less expressive, it presents a good capacity to tourism through its pare brise removable and its bags sufficient for departures in weekend. A kind of credible alternative to the Harley-Davidson Road King Classic, in a more “péchue”. Remains that its dissemination confidential does not encourage Triumph France to do enter the version ABS, now available in Germany, on our territory. However, this assistance (which is also equipped the Roadster) runs of source, taking into account the 395 kg of the beast announced…

However, it seems odd that there is a very neglected lot in our market that also is not a minority, but quite the opposite. We are talking about sports quart, which represent the perfect step between the 125 – and are “approved” to 15 horsepower card or directly from the A1-and large capacity. Many users of these little bikes have to go directly to a 500 or 600 to access the motorcycle world “big”, which is not very logical, because there are currently few intermediate models.
However, with a capacity of 250 technically can get nowadays excellent bikes that go about the legal power to those first two years (34 hp), and also, more manageable, lighter, cheaper and, in short, much best to learn to ride a high-powered bike. The great irony is that the market can hardly be found these bikes sport 250. Until recently there was the option most rabid sports that was the Aprilia RS 250, an expensive bike but with finishes and materials of the first and directly inspired by the race bikes of the brand with excellence as curved chassis and aluminum swingarm, plus a powerful two-stroke engine.
