Jim,no not really,but the fact is the triples are just sitting in my garage doing nothing.Since I got your S3 pipes chromed,I wanted to work on my triples,both the H2's and the S3,but at this stage in my life I have other things to do with my time !!!!!! I will always have triples,but I want a new bike I can just go ride and not have to put the time into it !!!! I spent from 1997 to about 2005 in my garage every spare minute I had,to the point of my wife being mad at me !!!!!! Once the twins were born,life changed in a big way !!!! I think later in my life as my twins get older I may have more time to go back into the garage,but not in the near future !!!! To be honest I have really been out of triples for the last 8 years !!!!!!! Kawasaki triples will always be my first love and I will always have something to do with them........but it is time for something new !!!!! I never really liked any other 4 stroke enough to buy one,even thought I like alot of the 4 stroke bikes.I started looking at the Brutales a couple of years ago.The 1090 rr is a 190mph naked street bike,which is too expensive and too much bike for a this 52 year old man.The 675 is a triple and rumor has it that they are going to make a R version of it,with better shocks and bigger pistons and call it a 800 !!!!! I love the Corse version of the 1078 brutale !!!!! So its fun to think of the possibilties of the mods for the 675 triple.I also know that some people think the brutales are ugly,and thats fine,but for a 4 stroke they do it for me !!!!!! And Roto yes I know they are expensive,but I hope worth it !!!!!!! Here is the picture of the Corse 1133 brutale below !!!!!
