Here's some more stuff that's been stolen from Classic Bike magazine. Copyright be damned. Engine design genius [[Doug Hele|Doug Hele]] first conceived of a triple while working for [[Norton Classic Motorcycles|Norton]] in the early 1960s. His engineer’s experience told him that a triple might be one way round the problem of vibration that dogged the parallel twins. It seemed to Hele that a three cylinder engine with the crankpins evenly spaced 120 degrees apart would have perfect primary balance.
