Size matters?

[swooshdave]

 

I was looking at my coworker’s bike today and realized his front tire is almost the same size as the rear tire on a V11 Sport.

 

At 2300cc that triple is bigger than a lot of cars on the road.

A couple of odd bikes those....

 

I knew a guy who actually put a supercharger on one of those triumphs. I don't really remember what he had it dynoed at, something around 230hp. Insane!

How about one of those Triumph motors for a base under a glass coffee table?

That's funny . . . I've long wanted to join a couple round fins at the exhaust and do the same.

Hmmmm, maybe it's ok- poss batbike cool even - it could be the underpants-shaped headlight that's dismaying my gaze.

The picture is kind of distorted. It looks better in real life.. if you like that sort of thing.

Keep in mind that somethings look better in person, or don't photograph well (same thing). Shape and volume are hard to photograph and Italian stuff (motorcycles and women come to mind) tend to have lovely shapes, some that photograph well and some need to be appreciated in the flesh.

Hm. I had one of them for like 12hrs. Barely put 50 miles on it and the rear end locked up making me highside at like 45-50. When I contacted the dealer and Triumph about what happened they basically told me to get f*****. That was my 6th Triumph . Keep that in mind when considering one..

Yeah, I remember that..

That's brutal!
