Comfortable enough for long days in the saddle Triumph's Sprint RS also aims to provide plenty of performance. A twin-spar aluminium frame, lightweight swing arm and powerful brakes, and adjustable suspension shows the machines purpose.

Fitted with the second generation three-cylinder engine, this half-faired sportster offers plenty of weather protection and yet also shows off the sculpted form of the black-finished engine. The fuel-injection mapping is also tailored to maximise mid-range torque.
