    By that I assume you actually meant “Triple”???

    S’funny though, I don’t recal a “V” twin with a 90deg crank so it acts like a paralell twin?

    Nice
    But for better effect paint the wall BLACK
    It will stand out more.

    Agree, it would be better with a Triumph, but I had nothing to do with any of it. ;)

    I don’t know if the owner would take kindly to me painting the wall, it’s not my house, I just saw it while I was out and about :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

    They do SJ, but they are usually two Conrods onto the same crankshaft position... so the pistons rise and fall at difference points in the rotation. However, if the crankshaft was split by 90 degs, they’d rise and fall together, like a traditional parallel twin...

    Well that nameplate belongs on something coal or wood burning with reciprocating pistons and the bike looks like a steaming pile too.......

    Very popular among dispatch riders years ago, know as the "plastic maggot" on account of the large fuel tank, I believe
