I did a wheelie on a Guzzi Breva 1100 shaft driven as Jim2 said it tends to lean on one side never straight. Fun though..
Don't just live to ride but ride to live.

Shaft drive would be too heavy and belts have had the problem of stones getting jammed in them before so I wouldn't want those on a bike meant to do jumps and ride in dirt ruts either.Originally Posted by saltydog
See any of those top motorcross bikes with a shaft? But, horses for courses.

Ride a Concours! No issues whatsoever with gearchanges or torque affecting the handling.
I've ridden about 4 different shafties (just got off my old man's GS while he was sampling the 14) and the only one of them that had any (minor) issues was an old XV1000. The engineers have got it sorted!
One hell of a ride.
Nothing to do with the shaft drive.I did a wheelie on a Guzzi Breva 1100 shaft driven as Jim2 said it tends to lean on one side never straight. Fun though..
Thats the gyro effect of the engine configuration. BMWs do it too.
The flywheel or the crank or the clutch is facing the wrong ways innit.

If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

Many moons ago, circa early mid 90's I had a shaft driven XZ400, was slow as a wet week(ie - my previous '83 cb250rs could leave it for dead) but could get the front up with some liberal abuse of the clutch.
ok, so it was in first only, was too heavy to bounce it up in any other gear.
The day one of it's thermostats siezed shut and cooked it was just about the happiest day of my life!

For touring bikes, shaft drive is generally preferred because of the reduced maintenance, thats the #1 reason. When you are many days on the road, one less thing to do/carry becomes important. The greater power-loss over the power-loss in a chain drive is generally considered a reasonable trade-off.
There again, a stuffed rear-drive on a shaft drive is a tad more serious a problem than a broken chain.

If Im going to wheelie something that weighs as much as my mother in law - Im going to wear a full faced helmet.Was going to start another thread but thought I'd search and dredge up an old one instead.
