Does any bike mfr make a V triple (two jugs front, one rear)? A casual google search did not turn up anything. I can imagine where this might be an impractical configuration, but it sure would be novel. | ||

Honda made some bikes in that configuration. | ||

On a sorta-related note: Anyone here have experience with those silly Fueling V-3 engines that were a brief fad among choppa builders? I always wondered how long one would last if actually used for transportation. | ||

Check this out: http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/03/19/will-bmw-buil d-a-w-3-engine-technical-editor-kevin-cameron-insi ghts-analysis/ In the paper issue they had a sketch of how the concept would look, pretty kewl! And yeah, I've always wanted to see/hear a Feuling motor- never thought they were "silly" but pretty dang slick! IIRC they needed a fair amount of oil-cooling to maintain heat issues... | ||

Oh Kevin Cameron, I have the biggest man-crush on him! He's also involved in the antique airplane engine preservation society. My Dad and uncle are at some airplane-related thing now in Dayton I think. | ||

Feuling is just a few hundred yards from where I work in Mojave. They have a couple interesting projects - that triple in various configurations is pretty sweet. | ||

If it was sideways like a Guzzi, I bet it would be awesome. Perhaps on the front of one of those funny little English three wheelers. |
