Okay, now on motorcycles, my friend is saying that, if you "punch it" without shifting, the engine will automatically "jump" into what he calls the powerband. As if the powerband comes on like a honda engine's vtech.
Now I merely implied that the engine is just peaky, and that its "powerband" is just up higher in the revs. So, if at low rpm, you gun it, itll take a little while, but once it hits the powerband, it takes off....because the power is up high...in the "powerband".
He still insists that theres some sort of gearing mechanism inside the engine that only motorcycles have, that give you this extra boost of speed...like you are in gear...adn you punch it...and you just magically rocket off all the sudden...as if the motorcycle just hit its powerband, but not because this is some sort of magical fairy device within the engine...and not the engine spinning up to the rpm where its power is produced.
