Scotland Motorcycle Trip 2016 - Part 4
Part 4 of our 5 day motorcycle trip to the Highlands of Scotland. Apologies for the audio on this video, mic issues again!
Our inspiration was taken from Bikers Britain The Tours guide by Simon Weir (www.amazon.co.uk/Bikers-Brita...). This is the Scotland Relaxed Tour, we followed it pretty much to the book with the exception of stopping at Loch Lomond rather than Oban.
Day 5 - Balloch to home, via Glasgow, M74 and M6. A wet end to a great trip. Thanks for watching, hopefully won't be too long before the next trip!

Triumph Sprint ST 1050 Review
Переглядів 54 тис.9 років тому
A short review of my 2008 Triumph Sprint ST. In summary, a great, comfortable bike that will suit many riders. Things I didn't mention in the video: - Official Triumph Panniers are very easy to get on and off the bike, one key for ignition and panniers is a massive plus. However, they are not as big as they look inside and disappointingly you can't fit a full face helmet inside. - Wind protecti...

    Thanks for this vid! Just realized some fine scratches are on my OEM screen that I probably put there by using a towel to dry it off rather than sticking to my blower. 😩 Seeing how easy it is to replace/upgrade, definitely helped chill me out.

    @garyrobinson6247 2 роки тому

    Had mine for 8 years, had to change reg/rec and stator a couple of years in to ownership, common issue apparently, I replaced them myself for less than the price of two new tyres. Other than that just tyres and servicing. It puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. it has over 33k on the clock now so going to treat it to a new chain and sprocket set in the next couple of weeks. It feels as strong and as tight as it did when I bought it. It is shod with Michelin road Vs and they really inspire confidence. I have considered changing it but can't find anything that is better at being a sporty sport tourer without spending lots of money. That triple engine is a real gem. I agree with your points re the seat and the lights but neither are deal breakers for me. I love the bike,

    Thank You Andy. Appreciate you taking the time to make this. I want a new street bike with abs, fully cowled, and agressive. But still comfortable & close to $5k USD. And I need a bike that can hold a wheelie easily. Steady, even power through the rpm's with No surges. Would you say this bike fits?

    I have a Daytona 675. I'm 50 and have ridden to Belgium on it with luggage. 3000 miles in 4 months. I'm 14 stone and have a squashed disk in my lower spine. The trouble with these types of bikes is they are dull, heavy and are the car equivalent of the Mondeo car of biking. They do nothing great. Biking should be exciting!! If you want all out comfort take the CAR.

    I purchased one of these recently a 2010 model it's the best sports touring motorcycle I have ever had the handling in particular is excellent and far better than the Honda VFR's that I have owned previously and also it's more powerful the only thing that lets the package down is the headlights they are surprisingly average , overall I am very impressed with this machine and I intend to hold onto it for several years .

      his was a 2006 VFR800. He's let me ride both of them and to be honest, I'm not sold on the Triumph either. I'm a huge triumph fan so i was quite disappointed. The VFR rode like a dream, felt stable as hell, had power all day and was comfortable.

      @Texarmageddon 7 років тому

      I had my ST1050 for like 6 months... and immediately went back to a VFR800. Handling wise I loved it over the VFR800.. I plan on upgrading both my 1200/800 suspension though. Yet, the 1050ST powerband felt so gutless and boring.
