    Are any race cars or bikes still using Desmo valve drive?

    Hence "different cause" :) Just thought it was interesting to see someone explain it, and a good excuse to link the doco!

    Are you guessing or are you sure?

    I'm guessing no more bevel drive, though.

    100% sure. And yes no more bevel drive, in fact no more timing belt with their new production motor either (as in the Panigale). Now uses a timing chain. Clever design so both heads are I believe identical.

    curious, is there an australian buy/sell section, if not, why not? its a pain to keep looking at the centre of the universe gun toting section (read...usa) for items that may be for sale in aus.

    I had a ride in one in the US. It didnt sound at all like that clip. Either carefully placed microphones or a different exhaust for the US market.

    I thought the car underwhelming, owner moved it on quite quickly.

    I also went for a ride in one in the US back in 07. Had the stock exhaust on it and I reckon it sounded bloody amazing! :)
