Having owned a couple of triples myself and knowing how problematic they are, I cannot imagine trying to carb sync this contraption

Yamaha 750 Seca with quads, and the weird YICS cross connection system.

Never again. Fuel injection FTW

They have the flat 6 of the Goldwing, Valkyrie, etc

They also had a longitudinal V4 from the ST series

Surprisingly not as bad to work on though

I sold the last of my motorcycles in 2010-ish. If I were to get back into the hobby, this bike would be at the top of the list. 2023 Yamaha R3. I like small displacement sport bikes.
