Hi John just giving a honest opinion on the sprint comparing to the hundred or so bikes i’ve put on center stands.The sprint is my favourite bike i’ve owned hense the reason i’ve kept it for 10 years. Never had a fear of putting it on the stand, but did for the bmw as it’s bigger/heavier than the sprint and most of all a friends bike. Just amazed how easily it went up onto it you can tell they’ve done precise calculations to length of center stand/positioning etc “viz zee” German efficency!
One of the worst bikes to get on the centre stand? Really?
I’m still using the technique I was taught for a Suzuki A100 noddy bike in 1980 and it’s worked like a dream on the Sprint for the last 17 years. Perhaps its the fear of the weight being high up after the R1100 that makes it seem more worrying than it needs to be.
Interesting to see, especially as I’ve owned a virtually identical Sprint to yours for the last 17 years and the best bit of all is that the registration number is only 3 numbers away from N472TRW. Triumph registered a batch of bikes to themselves in 1995 and they were all N***TRW, being a local number to Hinckley
Well update nearly a year on getting it on the centre stand has not got any easier and I don’t like it as much putting on the stand lol but saying that the bike has been well behaved and very reliable and solid on the road in windy conditions so I have forgiven her
Yep tis a heavy buggah, the secret is in the leg action and it gets no lighter even with 3 years refining the technique!! Lol at you saying you quite like it, bliddy hell I don’t. But probably the only drawback to it being a solid lump of British engineering.
And while I’m on, the angle you’ve got this vid shows off the shape of the bike at its best – the sculpted tank complementing the flow of the front and rear panels.
Thanks Mate, will see what I can do
It’s funny now I am used to the weight I quite like it, just need to plan where to park sometimes i.e if you park on a slope can be murder.
Hi mate, great clip and useful. I also have a Sprint 900 and they’re heavy. Any tips and possibly a clip of how to move it around more easily ie around the garage/workshop (my mates have a Blade and a VFF that feel like mopeds at a standstill). Thanks and ride safe.
I don’t if I am being honest and I don’t think it would be ideal restricted (too heavy)
the sprint has 72kw right do you know of any 95′ model that has only 32kw?
haha hope your wife doesnt see this, she will be putting you on a centre stand on the mantle piece lol
i do this to my ST PAN EUROPEAN. took me a few turns to get it right. i rock her like a baby..when im ready to head off on her. ya have to sit on her.. and shake her forward. opps sry thats the wife im talking about. but its more or less the same thing.
Thanks for the warning. True about the BMs though, my mates got a K1200 and you would swear the stand was electric powered!
