I told the guy if he did any research on it, he says no...and that his friend told him that's what's in it. Well, sometimes people LIE or DONT KNOW WHAT THE **** THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. For 20 years someone could call a valve a banana or something gay like that, and convince everyone around him that he knows what hes talking about...oh...i burned my banana's again...and than one day he looks it up in a book...and just doesnt believe it or someone tells him otherwise and he freaks out.
Another victim of outright closedmindedness.

I bet they could run a CVT, problem with CVTs is that power would be limited, and making one small enough for a bike might be a problem in that area....but i guess the chain drive most bikes have hold on pretty good so i guess its not that big of a problem after all...
However...how fun would it be driving a automatic motorcycle?

Anyone want to prove me wrong, seriously. I'm getting more people saying theres a non-linear "powerband" that will all the sudden "kick in" unlike any other natural engine building of power as it revs up into the higher rpm range.
ANYONE race competitively 2-stroke motorcycles for a living? How would you modify this "power band"

My dad has in the past, and i race dirtbikes and quads. Your right, hes wrong. You can modify any engines powerband with things like exhaust, gearing, reeds, etc.
They're mistaking a high rev, built to go engine with incredible power to weight ratio for something that is as back asswards as piston rings in an RX7.
