That is a pretty good read. The quest for better traction and handling never ends and it's not all about big horsepower and torque numbers. It's about putting it to the ground so it's usable.

Put the power to the ground in a way the bike handles good and gets traction.

 

I wonder have they experimented with cush drive of some sort too?

 

If they did they should teach marchesini how to make them
