[@peterdonnelly6804]

That was a refreshing way to review the bike. The camera was in a great spec too.

[@marksavage]

Thanks bud

[@toltod]

I've loved every minute of my 2008 Sprint! Cheers!

[@marksavage]

They are fun all round bikes , thanks for watching

[@miguelcote6116]

I'm looking at one with 88 000kms on it, should I go for it ?

[@craigjones9467]

Thanks for the review mark. I think you’ve just talked me into getting one as my next bike.

[@marksavage]

They are all round great affordable fun bikes bud

[@craigjones9467]

@@marksavage I’ve got a Suzuki rf900 at the minute and think this looks like just as much fun. Thanks again

[@marksavage]

@@craigjones9467 oh I had a 600 and 900 on them but starting to show there age Used to love the rear end and they bank so well But you will love the power and roar bud Take care

[@rogereastman3187]

Mark, I have a question for you. You may not have any ideas about this, but, you just might. I recently bought a 95 Sprint 900. I loved the looks and build of this old bike, perhaps I suppose, because I'm a old coot myself. Although I think the updated version you were riding is a sweet ride....I'm not into all the plastics and fairings, or even electronic fuel injection. I love to ride this ole girl..she looks good, and really performs. The only thing I wish I could modify is, at my age I'd prefer a more straight up ride. Less leaned over and sporty. Its still a blast to ride, I just can't do it very long. I know folks will say..."well dumb ass, why didn't you just buy a different type of bike"... I guess because I simply fell in love with it, and appreciate the old school rugged English over engineering. So maybe it is what it is. ..finally...here's my question.. Have you heard of, or know of, any modifications I can do to raise up the bars, and maybe lower the pegs a bit????? Keep up the great videos....you're Da Man ! Still eager to crank it up at 70

[@marccarroll2803]

Great review matey. Thinking of getting back on a bike due to not wanting to die from covid-19 for the commute into Laandaan . Think you've made up my mind for me tbh 😉

[@marksavage]

Thanks bud , the open road when we can get back out on it Stay safe bud

[@snakebite66]

Hi Mark, great review, have an 08 Sprint myself, love it for all the reasons you mention...

[@marksavage]

good honest simple fun bikes , thanks for watching

[@mattgibson4535]

Lovely jubly cant beat a savage ride out, love it. Looks like great fun, I do like a triumph. Keep them coming mate. P.s thos phone holders a bloody brilliant. all the best

[@marksavage]

Thanks bud The camera was a little low lol I was not sure about the phone holder so thanks for that info Take care bud

[@rogereastman3187]

That was great...you had me laughing and smiling the whole way.. Oh ya....I liked the bike too!

[@marksavage]

good to hear bud and i have a few other bike ride / vlogs videos on my channel you might like to watch to take care bud

[@JackFRost-tj2ig]

More than likely getting one of these tomorrow. 05 plate.

[@marksavage]

they are fun bikes bud and ride well, sure your enjoy it

[@MadOldBiker]

Nice one Mark ! that was great

[@marksavage]

thanks bud

[@craigannetts9351]

Had a Blackbird and both generations of hayabusa and now a sprint 1050 and this is a much better alround bike

[@marksavage]

I agree as there are not just point to hang on bikes lol Much lighter and nippy Enjoy bud and thanks for watching Loads more videos on my channel you might enjoy watching

[@markmottershead646]

Hay Mark, just found your channel, nice down to earth reviews, thanks! Question for you: I’m looking for a long-distance, mile muncher for riding on the continent for reasonable, used money, so I’m thinking either Yamaha FJR1300, Triumph Trophy or Honda Pan European. I’ve watched your videos on the last 2 so which would you recommend all things considered? Or something else? And recommendation on best age/value combo? Thanks!

[@marksavage]

As on my channel yes I've had all 3 With the trophy it rode amazing and 286 miles on one tank Wind protection , radio and luggage has to be my first Next pan true high mile munches but they keep there money FJR more all round so to work or a trip but no toys but lighter and more power Try all 3 bud but that's the order I'd give with owning and riding all of them Next I guess you might have to look at the gs1200 but totally different style Thanks for watching bud

[@midvarrasso4900]

Nice review review 👍 I just bought a 2006 sprint st and love it! Just wondering if your bike has the stock gearing of 19 front and 42 rear sprocket? Mine does and im thinking of adding the 18 front for more low down grunt.

[@marksavage]

Mines was stock I have seen a few do this and it has the power to take it To be fair a good bike bud enjoy

[@midvarrasso4900]

@@marksavage it is a cracking bike, I'm loving it

[@routemainstreet]

Awesome 👏

[@filipelopes9208]

Hey Mark! Unsure if you still check these comments, but if possible could you provide a link for the trident exhaust that you mentioned? I got a 2009 ST recently and the previous owner got some weird custom exhaust on the bike that I am frankly not a fan off but the one that you mentioned sounds interesting. Would appreciate it! Thanks

[@marksavage]

sorry i dont as tried to find it on my old info , maybe try google bud it's not good when they mess around with some but they do sound much better with off the market exhausts bud or try some forums

[@lassoepic]

Hi mark, i could use some help. My speedfight is running normally and all well but, when i get over 30-35 mph it starts revving up, can barely reach 42 without revving way too high. It feels like the restrictor is on the variator but its not, what can it be?

[@marksavage]

how odd ok a few things clutch could be slipping, check out the clutch and if its getting very hot then it will slip so may need changing variator system and belt so really check it all over, 6g rollers and a good belt then if not moved onto the carb / and fuel system check the throttle cable and needle is not jamming and float etc give that a go and see how you get on bud ive 70 speedfight videos on all of these things so should help just may have to sit and watch a few as I go onto many topics while filming

[@user-zs7ri9pn1d]

Hello Mark! Thanks for sharing such nice clip about 1050ST. I'm considering buying one for commuting on highways and through countries. Is there any problem I should keep an eye on after I get one?I like it very much but I'm also a little bit worry about the reliability.

[@marksavage]

all in great bikes , regularly service so look out for service history and check the suspension as the rear can seize and be very hard battery they need a good quality battery so always keep it on a charger when no using otherwise great bike and are fun to ride

[@teamninja30]

Good evening Mr Savage, just put a deposit down on 2012 and i can't pick it up aarrrggghhhhh so i searched for some reviews while i wait for Mad Boris to say we are opening the bike shops. Great review and how are the brakes when you realise you going faster than your fairy godmother. I watched one review and they said it needs pulling with more fingers lol take care

[@marksavage]

They are fun light and fast bikes if you want them to do so Front very good rear can do with a little more push but I was happy with them all in Like you just want things to go in someway back to normal!! Take care fella Loads of other bike reviews on my channel while you wait

[@AliBikers]

What’s your phone support ? Thks

[@toemmelboemmel9799]

How have u mounted the RAM Mount?

[@_Snikerz]

Quick question as I'm contemplating buying an ST, how do you find the weight/pressure on your wrists?

[@marksavage]

To be fair these are good all rounders Its not like a gsxr nor the weight of the trophy But you do have the speed and the luggage Give one a test ride bud

[@grahamnumber7123]

MY 2008 one I commuted every day from the midlands to Liverpool all weathers. No problems. In summer the warm arse problem was only in traffic on a hot day. I'm going to restore mine that's not been ridden for 7 years (I moved away + kids so never got around to it) now she wont start (probably needs new spark plugs and the fuel system draining) I had 70K miles and she still pulled like new so no issue other than neglect :-(

[@laurentderancy3974]

Have an 08 too, really a lovely bike 🤪

[@marksavage]

Nice one! bud

[@jedcsh1]

What year / mileage is your Sprint?

[@marksavage]

28k and 2010

[@rowdyrhodie]

You really need a better camera mount for this.

[@marksavage]

I was 4 years ago and I did do many vlogs due to the comments, but don't let it take i5 away from the bike , I did a walk around and a few other videos on these and many more

[@gasguzzler5551]

OOh Mark.... the camera angle with the tank bouncing up and down ...........

[@marksavage]

yes I needed to lift the camera mount up sorry bud, but thought it was a good vlog maybe next time i'll use my helmet cam thanks for watching

[@gasguzzler5551]

@@marksavage Yes it was a good vlog........ just the camera angle made me feel motion sick LOL

Why is the camera attached to your tool? 😂
