Ever heard the Jota?

Rather than firing 1,2,3 like the S3 one of the models fired 1+2,3........ awesome sound. Raw.

Still love my S3 to bit tho.

I know what you mean Mark. The Jota does sound good. I was talking to a guy with one just last week. They may be both triples but that where it ends for me. Italian - British. Love Italy but give me Triumph any day.....

The early jota had a 180 degree one up two down crankshaft, the later models had a 120 one down one up one half way up crankshaft. The 120 was smoother and had less vibration then the 180. For money i'd take the 180 with theopen pipes it sounded mean, raw, at idle it kinda sounded like a funny car on the line, and when you took off that thing wailed. i used to own a mirage but someday i hope to find a nice jota.
