Speed vs Sprint

[DukeRed]

Why do second hand speed triples cost more than sprints of the same year?

I've seen a 2002 sprint with loads of extras and full triumph hard luggage for £4500 and many more for that and cheaper but the triples go for around the same with far less.

I think the Speed Triple is in more demand as it is alot more popular than the speed four. Probaly a better bike aswell, the speed four is basically a naked de-tuned TT600

I'm talking about the same engined sprint st which is basically a faired version of the speed I believe.

oops sorry it's 1am and im night shift.

I have no idea the speed triple just seems to be more exclusive and hold it's value alot better.

The Sprint was kinda let down by the fact that the media said it's meant to be a fireblade beater, which it aint. I think it's an amaizing sports tourer and gives the VFR a run for it's money. And it's probaly better cause it a Triumph

The new Sprint ST should sell very well as it looks just as good as the new speed triple. Plus you cant beat the noise of a Triumph Triple engine

I'm not sure, i prefer the sprint out the two, but pricing is down how much want there is for said machine, the greater the want, the greater the price?

Of course. Well pretty much aye. Its to do with demand as well.

For example the 2005 gixxer will be the most popular litre bike sold in Britain this year (probably). Its demand will be the highest yet its new price will be the lowest of the litre bikes.

Confusing one economics - see what happens when you stick a little bit of passion into things the fundamentals go out the window.

Just simple supply and demand. New GSXR's are plentiful, hence low price (and economies of scale). Second hand triumph speed triples are rarer (not as many new units sold, owners hang on to them for longer - crash less??, upgrade less??). So supply is less than demand, higher prices. I guess there must be more Sprints around.

Well, go on then...rip my argument to little tiny pieces.

You're all talking a load of wang!

The Sprint ST is not the same bike as the Speed Triple. The Speed Triple is essentially an unfaired Daytona 955i and as such has better suspension and frame than the Sprint ST.

The Speed Triple has a tubular 'spondon' style frame and top notch showa suspension; The Sprint ST has a detuned engine and makes marginally less power. The only common component is the engine, and they are hardly identical.

Speed triples are great bikes
