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.

Changed the oil and filter today. I don't seem to ride this much any more, what with the 1125CR in the garage.

John, I caught wind that dealerships have been given the go ahead for a blow-out clearance of Buell parts and accessories. Apparently stuff on sale for more than 50% off. I'm heading to the dealership this weekend for some part. Just thought I'd give you the heads up if you didn't know.

Yes it is. Which makes this bike quite a rarity!

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. :mrgreen:

Nice find John. 8)
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.
:wacko:

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!

Here are sound clips from a '68 Triumph and a '68 Norton.
