horrible center of gravity
a lot of them are hard to maintain
>>13978957
wtf is this bullshit
>>13978935
How does it balance with an odd number of cylinders? Uneven weighted crank or something? Is that a long term issue?
3 cyl that i have actually used are smoother than the 4 bangers. i have no idea why.
the k75 felt like it was electric it was so smooth.
can someone explain this phenomenon?
>>13979036
Nevermind there's a video on this.
Any personal stories or experiences?
>>13979039
torque and hp work together to give you smooth power delivery through the entire RPM range.
I had an 08 Speed Triple 1050 for a while, what a great bike. It was so quick and the power was always there.
pic related. Would love to have another one someday.

oh and it sounded amazing with that Werks exhaust, a triple has a very unique sound.
>>13978935
Pretty fucking bad idea.
>>13979090
>a triple has a very unique sound.
No it doesn't. It sounds like a V6 with uneven secondary exhaust pipes ie any old V6s
>>13979125
OK BRO.
>>13979039
....a nice torque curve?
>>13979039
>because the 3 is damped with an excess of rotating mass

Ford built one, so it must be good.

1.0l ecoboost 3 is a bitching engine.
>>13978935
cool tarbo
>>13979005
3 pistons are not balanced.
>>13979191
instead of a boxer,
why not,
you know,
just tilt the thing.
>>13979191
Why the fuck aren't they using timing chains instead of belts? Also its 5 cylinders short of being a real engine.
>>13979455
>implying Ford's engineers don't know what's best
>>13979455
Cost?
I really want a Focus with the 1.0 3 cyl but my girlfriend won't let me buy one
>>13979489
Why? It's a great car, very practical, best-in-class handling and with the 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine it's very economical as well.
>>13979527
She wants a Range Rover instead
>>13979527
i wonder if it sounds like a speed triple if you open the exhaust up
