The last ride of the Sprint? I took a Speed Triple for a spin. What's the verdict? It's a late 1998 or early 1999 Speed Triple T509, with Tor exhaust (as far as I know).

rocco rostagno I really don't care about top speeds. Low end torque is what it's all about.

I own it now, very nice bike. It drives good, steers sharp and despite its 20 years old it rides like a new one.

Leuke video. Ik heb een t509 in dezelfde kleur. Kom vaak bij KAT motoren over de vloer :-)

thank you for sharing the video. I am picking 1 up tomorrow. t509 1997 clean. never had a European bike before, love it but a bit worried still. how is your experience in this particular model now after so long. how reliable is it ?

Pavel C I've had it for half a year now and I still love it! The only thing that went bad was the battery, but that's no biggie. It has over 100k km's on the clock but it still feels as new. The engine is silky smooth, and it handles like a dream. The T509s are known to have a faulty 4th gear but if you buy one now it's almost certain the it either has been repaired or it doesn't have the issue.

very very nice bike! late 98 early 99 means that it's a 955cc? (i cannot see the manifolds to understand) got to buy one of these, always loved this model of Triple, the best ever made in my opiion (not only mine...) :) cheers from Italy!

loris199 It's an late 97 early 98, 885cc, so it has only 90bhp, which is still enough for me.
@loris1997 жыл бұрын
that sounds compatible with colour scheme :) i defenately agree about 90hp being enough... my bike has 82hp but starts pushing from 1000rpm... how about maintenance, handling? satisfied with the purchase?
@casbrides7 жыл бұрын
loris199 No regrets so far. Had to change the battery, but that's the only real problem I've had. Still gives me a smile every time I ride it. I am working towards making it to my taste though: got new indicators, bar end mirrors, heated grips and I would like a different exhaust, one that isn't as bulky as the one on it right now. Sounds great but it so massive. And maybe LED rear/brake lights. Bike has now over 100.000kms on it but it's still as silky smooth!

What was the mileage on this machine? I'm very near buying one that has 15.000 on the clock? Guessing that's not a lot 🤔
