Yeah!!!!!!
I loved that "evil" 3 cyl. sound of them.
My one was in "Candy Apple Red".

We don't have scenery like that in Florida, but what we do have has more bikinis scattered around.

I have a set of Scorpion exhausts that are not strictly legal but sound great on the Trident. Weirdly enough I have the 2 cylinder RT, a 3 cylinder Triumph and a 4 cylinder K100RS. I keep trying to pick up a Ducati 450 Desmo on Ebay, but I always get outbid. All I need is the Duc and a Valkyrie and I will have the possible cylinders counts covered.

The question I am asking is why don't you have a BMW? I had an American made Buell, but it was run over by an SUV while parked.

I know that there are different "hills" in Florida :D :wink: I´ve been there in 2001 and really enjoyed it 8)

I´m to "young" for a BMW-bike... I´m driving a BMW X3 SUV, but not a bike. You can´t go to a bike meeting with a BMW :shock: over here... :D But I would prefer the cardan shaft drive instead a chain.

The Duc is the "queen of sound", but Italien made means: Just look good... :D

The desmotronic valve drive will cost you an arm and leg if maintance is necessary. Also the Duc is just for race purpose - nothing you want to spend a 2-weeks-3500-km-vacation on. Will kill your spine AND wrists. But driving a Duc on a German Autobahn (Interstate) could be like heaven as we don´t have speend limits over here :twisted:

Hope you get well paid for your "KIA" Buell :cry:


As paramedics we saw three Bikers killed by accidents within one year in our "jurisdiction" caused by car drivers - so I decieded to keep alive and quit biking.

I bought me my Iltis AND X3 instead :wink:

Nice substitute... 8)

I used to love riding down Kelly Drive and West River drive in Philadelphia, it's a great curvy road with lots of hills, twists, off-camber turns and so much more. I loved the way my CBR 900 RR used to take the turns...RIP. Well, after my lovely bike and I had falling out, I've never been on a bike after that. I still think I have some asphalt pieces in my back and butt LOL
