Do you work for Pratt?

not taliking about Le Mans the race and a stock Z06. Just making reference to long straights you can let out the "horses." I would guess this gearbox is a great street and occasional track toy.

IMO, this is a gimmick really.

And for the record, ALL of the motorcycles, are all dog ring engagement. I have never worked on a motorcycle that has synchros.

IMHO, It's a gimmick also. Still uses the stock internal shift linkage and adds the complexity of additional levers and arms.

Motorcycles transmissions are a totally different design, a true sequential gear box regardless of synchro type. I think some of the old hand shift Harleys had 1st gear synchros but they were an automotive type trans, not a DSG. My '71 Kawasaki H1 had a DSG with Neutral at the bottom, up 1 for first, no neutral in between until the other bike manufacturers forced Kawasaki to put 1st at the bottom, with a neutral in between just like all bikes are now.
