Interesting. The one I rode (only for 1 day) was new (a buddy's bike) and it was as smooth as a Valkyrie that I also drove for 1 day. Maybe the Beemers got shakey after they had a few miles on them. Do you have any experience with the Valkyrie? I found it to have a very smooth engine. Ed

For the same reason 6's are smooth, small triples seem to be smoother than expected as well. I've ridden one or two GT380's, and as grumpy56 said, it was remarkably smooth.
