Yea theres ALOT of us dirty minded fellas on here that have all kinds of literary fun with mis-spelling like that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] lol

87Banshee250sx hit it on the head. The new four strokes have soo much torque that they can pull taller ratios, so they do not need that many gears. Plus imagine the weight savings as well. As a matter o' fact... the Yzf450(dirt bike) that the European factory riders use overseas only run 3 speed transmissions! Its just a better design to run as few moving parts as possible.

thats cool, i figured for motocross they would have closer ratios, but i geuss you wouldn't be shifting or down shifting as much with 3-speed.

That is exactly why they do this. As trival as it sounds, the less times you shift the less forward momentum you lose. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
