Aren't those bikes known to have frames that flex a bit? Have fun on that one. Kawasaki should bring back standards like the KZ and Eliminators.

You should hear my 2007 Triumph, best sounding motorcycle, still a parallel twin. Yes it has a different sound but no where near blowing up.HYPERR wrote:Yes it is. Which makes this bike quite a rarity!RhadamYgg wrote:

I've heard them going through the gears and it sounds really good. It has a little bit of that awesome blaaap blaaap sound of a Brit twin(especially the Norton) It's definitely smoother sounding and doesn't sound like it's going to blow up at redline which all brit twins(especially the Triumph) sounded like.![]()
Nice find John.
No the new Triumph twins do not have that sound. It has a much tighter sound with far less mechanical clatter. It still sounds great nonetheless!Triumphgirl wrote:You should hear my 2007 Triumph, best sounding motorcycle, still a parallel twin.
