http://www.motorcycle.com/news/2011-triumph-sprint-gt-announced-89549.htmlThe 2011 Triumph Sprint GT (for Grand Tourer) comes five years after the introduction of the Sprint ST. The Sprint GT uses an updated version of Triumph’s 1050cc three-cylinder engine while a new side-mounted exhaust replaces the Sprint ST’s underseat pipe. According to Triumph, the Sprint GT gets more power (128 hp versus 123 hp) and torque (79.7 ft-lb. @ 6,300 rpm vs 76.0 ft-lb. @ 7,500 rpm) than the Sprint ST.

I like it. Wish it was shaft drive though.

Wonder how it handles...3" longer wheelbase, 60 lbs heavier than an ST.

They are saving that for the new Trophy.

I must say, a lot is being made of all the new models Triumph has in the works. If they are all as "new" as this one, I'll be disappointed.
