Looks like a smaller version of a Triumph Thunderbird Sport. Very well done.

Hope mine grows into a Thunderbird Sport. I just love the way those triples sound!

Me too. Owned one for about 4 years. V-twins have a sound...inline 4"s have a sound....a 3 cylinder has a sound all its own.

I happened to be at a British bike swap meet Sunday, and a guy had a pair of 1975 Triunmph 750 Triples with 3-into-1 pipes for sale. When he started one up, it made a chilling howl that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I want one now, too.

Every motorcyclist should own at least one triple. I had a Tiger 1050 and the sound of that motor was terrific, right in there with Ferrari V12's.

I had a 69 BSA 750 triple with the factory ray gun pipes. I don't even recall the exhaust note. I've also ridden the 2013 Yamaha FZ09 900 triple. Couldn't tell you what it sounds like either. I do remember riding a 1976 Yamaha XS 750 triple with the factory 3 into 1 pipe that I think had an unusual exhaust note. I think.

Everyone says how cool triples sound and I have ridden 3 from 2 different manufacturers and decades and really can't recall any unusual exhaust sound at all.

On the other hand I can tell you the sound of a mid 60s Triumph Twin, and a early 70's Honda 750/4 is just music to my ears.

Maybe I should have you talk to my wife. I would like an FZ-09 in addition to the CB. Smile
