Author Message   Chessm Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 11:06 am:        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.   Puddlepirate Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 11:40 am:        I'm not seeing the similarities...   Ratsmc Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 11:51 am:        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?

Other than that... not much else.   Chessm Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 12:26 pm:        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   99buellx1 Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 12:48 pm:        Ahhh, they have curves.....just like onions have layers. I see. (anyone going to get that reference?)   Redbuelljunkie Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 02:48 pm:        Ogres have layers too, donkey.

I see the resemblance   Chessm Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 06:48 pm:        damn you   Metalrabbit Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 08:52 pm:        I really like the Triumph, Very sexy looking bike!   Mac_inger Posted on Friday, March 19, 2010 - 01:11 am:        Thats one well maintained t595. Love those bikes.   Tbenson Posted on Friday, March 19, 2010 - 01:43 am:        Agreed, I really like the Triumph's too!   Mac_inger Posted on Friday, March 19, 2010 - 02:50 am:        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.
