I had a three cylinder Kawasaki 500 in 1969. It was the fastest street bike on the market at the time. 0 to 60 in so many seconds (cant remember how many) It was like being strapped to a rocket. It's a wonder I lived through that period.
When my parents met my girlfriend, now my wife, 41 years ago, the second sentence was, "Keep him away from motorcycles."
But there was no problem with 3 cylinder Kaws, they terrified me.
