Tricolor 1098

I saw one yesterday cruising down the road. This is the first time I have actually heard one running. HOLY SHIT. What a sound coming from that thing. It had Termi pipes.

Except at the stop light...that engine is noisy sitting still.

Fuck. Sounded so good.

The noise at idle is that dry clutch... they fixed that on the 848..

Ok, now imagine hearing the intake suction, the rattle of the clutch plates in the basket, and the beastly twin cylinder spooling up as you roll into the throttle on corner exit. See why I love mine so much?

They didn't fix anything. It wasn't broken. It has become a Superbike trademark, just like the underseat exhaust, trellis frame, and (aside from the 749/999) the single sided swing arm. The 848 is more "economical" than previous middle weights...
