GreginDenver Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I just watched this short video explaining the Triumph 900 "T-Plane" 3-cylinder engine. Near the end of the video there's an on-board-camera clip that gives you a good opportunity to hear the engine rev under hard acceleration. You're not going to believe how much this engine sounds like a VFR800 engine. If you don't want to watch the whole video just skip to 3:10 and listen to how Triumph stole the sound of our VFR800s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Woh023WrZlQ The cylinder firing order of the "T-Plane" engine is almost exactly the same as our VFR800, just without cylinder #4 VFR800 = 1-0-1-0-0-1-0-1- Triumph = 1-0-1-0-0-1-0-0- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiutis Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Sounds good; I like it. Now, I wonder if it's smooth like the VFR? If so, we have a potential contender for VFR replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted May 18, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted May 18, 2020 That's amazing. In a blindfold test I'm not sure I could tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
