Our Frank asked.......
Apart from the obvious expense - I cant help wondering why Ducati didnt make a gear driven cam train for the belt drive bikes ??? If H0nda could do it with the VFR range, couldnt Ducati - or does the Desmodromics (?) prevent this in someway?
The earlier bevel drive bikes were desmo ( well, most of them anyway... ) and they used a shaft to drive the cams!
There is no reason why the cams could not be gear or bevel driven...it's just that they aren't anymore!
And of course we'd all have to go and join the DOC
Hurrah for belts!!!!!
:P:P
