I love the sound of an in line 4 screamer before al this cross plane crank/twin pulse nonsense ruined the show. The Muzzy Kawasakis were always 'rasping'.
The First incarnation of the M1 which made a cameo appearance at Catalunya in 2001 (as a side show to the 'big fight'). For some inexplicable reason that I have never understood, just after the 250 race, Katsuaki Fujiwara (remember him?) rumbled out of pit lane and proceeded to peel off several demonstration laps before vanishing back into a pit lane garage whereupon the shutter promptly came down behind him. The entire thing was bizarre...when Honda unveiled the RC211v the same year at least they got Spencer and Doohan to ride a couple of demonstration laps at Motegi instead of an also ran supersport rider contracted to Suzuki on the pay roll of Francis Batta. Perhaps he wasn't contracted to Suzuki just to Alstare, because I'm sure he had a hand in testing the thing along with 'Lil John. Biaggi must have had his head in his hands - exactly what he needed, a test rider as mad as a box of frogs. In the process Kocsinski fell off and broke his arm as I recall. (Perhaps he was distracted by a large halibut floundering in the racing line eh Pete?).
I digress (for once) - I remember thinking at the time that it sounded quite tasty and when Max and Checa debuted the thing at Suzuka the following season - on the over run they sounded like a pair of gatling guns - Glorious.
When I saw the thread title, my immediate thought was Hailwoods six and the Cube. Stiefel and L8 beat me to it. Both clips have been posted on here before and it's great to see them again. As has the Ant West clip (I assume that's the same one - I haven't looked at it yet).
Speaking of triples, the Benelli Tornado ridden by Peter Goddard in World Supers sounded quite tasty.
