Well what can I say the 2001 st is just aout everything a bike should be it has the lot, performance, comfort and load carrying ability. when Triumph designed the st they really came up with a winner, it can cruise along all day effortlessly as a tourer when you want it too but when you want to go scratching on it,well it´ll do that aswell, and the sound, you have to fit an after market can to really apreciate this but once you´ve heard that special triple song you´ll be hooked I,ve had yams and dukes and kawas but none of them´ll beat the sprint try one
