RE: Do you ride?
Most of my bikes have been shaft drive, they may be heavier, but they don't have a chain's drawbacks, either.
I have a kz1300 that I bought as a young soldier in Germany, sure miss those rides into the Taunus mountains outside Frankfurt.
I'll be glad when I get it back on it's feet.
Sadly storage has not been kind to it.
I absolutely despise chains, after a lifetime of experience with them...
I might accept a toothed belt drive... :D
I'd like to try a belt, haven't had one yet.
They have to be better than chains.
I'm told they have an advantage over shaft in that you don't get the odd torque/twist effect...
Yes, the throttle will not raise or lower your tail in corners like shaft drives do.
