wow never realized how similar the lines are on the t595 to our 1125s...





i guess it has to do with the hand-me-down firebolt rear end and airbox cover that we got.

Hmmm...

- Inline triple vs V-twin
- Single-Sided Swingarm vs cast standard swingarm
- Standard dual rotor brakes vs single perimeter brake
- Front radiator vs dual side mounted radiators
High mount exhaust vs underslung exhaust.

I'm not really seeing it either. Is there something specific that you see as similar?

Having owned both I can't see any similarities beyond both being motorbikes...

BUT, if you compare the bike pictured above *nice lookin bike porn BTW* and one of RMR's bikes... they share the word DAYTONA on it...

Other than that... not much else.

its got the same lines! like the flow around the rear and the subframe. also the curves instead of straight lines like on modern bikes.

take Jng1226's bike for example...



also the curve underneath the fairing looks similar to an 1125r w/ an aftermarket exhaust

thats a '97 i think. Brilliant design. Sexy as hell to ride and it sounds great. A bit heavy though. Had one and my buddy still has his,..we were actually riding tonight. If mine had been in such condition I would have never sold it. Triumph pushed the design of the bike more and more towards Jap looking with the later editions. I wasn't into it. But the 97-98s are real classics at least to my eyes.
