GreginDenver 168 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 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- 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiutis 85 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Member Contributer Cogswell 1332 Posted May 18 Member Contributer Share Posted May 18 That's amazing. In a blindfold test I'm not sure I could tell the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
