Changing the oil on the steamer yesterday and I got thinking about three cylinder engines and how unusual they are.  I know of some in the small econo class cars especially in Europe, Triumphs of course and some Yamaha and SeaDoo watercraft engines.  Anyone have other three cylinder engines other than a motorcycle ?

Here's my other three pot, 1.5L three cylinder Rotax, SOHC, closed loop cooling (uses coolant and a heat exchanger plate to keep salt water out of the engine) gear driven supercharger rated at 185 HP.
1998 Steamer. Sold, replaced with a 2016 Africa Twin.
1982 Honda FT 500 Ascot,  1983 Honda VT 500 Ascot
