Buyer beware. I had a look at a fair few triples when I was itching for one. Idle should be constant and throttle buttery smooth. There'll be some jerkiness when engine braking, but nowhere near a twin.
Bear in mind striples are generally known to be 'hoonigan' bikes and do get trashed a lot. I wouldn't get any that are above 15k on the clock imho.

Just went to look at a street triple with a friend, as his voice of reason. We thought the idle was slightly irregular - a little jerky but more just unbalanced. Is this just a characteristic of having 3 cylinders or buyer beware?
