    Who knew a four-banger with a misfire could sound so good?
  • @gary5481
    Still one of the best sounding triples ever. You could identify it from a mile away, just by the exhaust note.
  • @martin-vv9lf
    fiat had a similar inline 3 prototype multiair engine that behaved like a parallel twin. it had two small pistons balanced by one large piston. it was abandoned for an inline 3 with identical pistons when it was discovered the latter had the same fuel efficiency as the former, despite the former having a greatly increased cost of manufacture.
  • @Kreed1910
    I quite love the 3cyl turbo in my GR Yaris, insane what such a little motor can do
  • @dyggiprahl9881
    Just seeing the thumb nail i knew it was the Laverda 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  • I was a Triumph T140 rider when a friend lent me his Laverda 1000. At low revs it shook just like a Triumph 360 degree twin but as the revs rose it smoothed right out (unlike the Triumph which just shook worse, but not as bad as a Yamaha XS2 650 twin I once owned).
  • @stevepage2541
    At the risk of upsetting all the Laverda purists,I feel that the best sounding triple really is the 120 degree version...oops, that's done it now! Great vid!
  • @Damien.D
    yet another out of the box thinking design in the motorcycling engine engineering. sounds, err, a bit like a diesel tractor in fact, but it has some beasty charm to it.
  • Always a great video! I like the way 3 cylinder bikes sound. This one is quite unique sounding. Its very intense. Thanks for the video! I learn a lot from them.
  • @ericbergman9701
    I put a lot of thrilling miles on my Jota-spec 3CL. It felt less like a mechanical thing than the gurgle made by a very large (and aggravated) reptile.
  • Thank you for another excellent video. Beautiful engineering and great sound. Well worth being a Patron.
  • @Danger_mouse
    It truly does sound like a 4cyl with a miss fire 👍
  • @wizrox
    Už děláš jen youtubeřinu? :) Gratuluju k tomu, žes to fakt takhle rozjel. Jako jeden z mála máš fakt kvalitní videa, a hlavně vše o tématu nastudováno. A jde to vidět!
  • @COYOTE_N8
    The GR yaris motors are pretty sweet three cylinders
  • @MrWombatty
    Sounds a bit like my Pajero J-top 2.5L TD when I bought it more than a decade ago! As this particular JDM's turbo-diesel had a broken rocker, it was only running on 3cyls, but I drove home using all the residential & industrial back-streets so the smoke (& exhaust-note) wouldn't attract attention from the police!
  • @ENZautomotive
    You make great videos I'm not talking mess but I can clearly hear your taking so spech classes .. keep up the good work!
  • @JSmith19858
    It was a bodge to use the parallel twin parts and tooling to build a three cylinder. Triumph did the same with the Trident although, for some unexplainable reason, that used an expensive forged and twisted crank while the rest of the motor was a lash up
