1997Triumph Sprint 900 in excellent condition.

Description

This bike is in almost perfect condition and has been well taken care of. The tires & brakes are in great shape.

The following has been done within the last couple of hundred miles: Oil and filter change (Mobil 1 4T full synthetic motorcycle-specific oil). Check & adjust the valve clearances. Clean & synchronize the carbs including replacing the floats and other carb parts with parts that aren’t affected by the bull$hit ethanol in gasoline nowadays! The carbs were properly jetted for the nice-sounding Micron exhaust system. New fuel tap. Repaired/corrected sidestand. Official Triumph service manual. New spark plugs. Brake fluid was replaced as was the fluid for the hydraulic clutch. The cooling system was also flushed & re-filled with new coolant. New K&N air filter. Newly recovered seat in matching green and gray material---very comfy! New handgrips. “Triumph” tank pad. Extras include a brand-new sidestand & a countershaft sprocket. Clear title in my name. No flaws in the paint except for a small place where the seat has rubbed thru the paint on the tank. You can’t see it when the seat is installed. A new battery was installed last summer.

The bike starts right up, dles fine, nd runs thru all 6 gears extremely well! This is a great, ow-mileage example of Triumph’s 900cc (actually, 85cc) triple. If you talk to knowledgeable people, hey’ll tell you that the 885 motor is better (from a reliability/longevity perspective) than either of the Triumph triple examples that followed it later. I previously owned a 1996 Triumph Tiger with the same drivetrain---it was still running great (with nearly 90,000 miles on it, f I remember correctly) when I sold it. I also owned a Triumph identical, xcept for the burgundy color, o this one. A great bike, oo! I just have too many bikes…

The Micron exhaust sounds a bit snarly but is not obnoxiously loud.

I need to get $3,495 for this bike. That’s a bit more than book value. My price reflects the fact that the bike is sorted-out and has very low mileage on it. I’m offering this bike and 7 others for sale---please see my listings.
