    Just as good if not better than the 650,s, Su loves hers even after stepping down from a 750 triple.

    500’s are the best Edward Turner twin. The craving for more power led to the 650 which just about gets away with it if you don’t mind the vibration but the 750 twin was a step too far.
    The 3 cyl 500 aka the trident is a nice motor
