true the only belt drive bikes i know about are harleys.
and from a technical standpoint a very efficient system.
but, the problem with harleys in general is that they are poorly engineered as motorcycles, have poor geometry, poor attention to the physics needed to get a bike to handle properly, and thus poor bikes for anything but cruising.
buell is a little better, but still not comparable performance wise to the twin cylinder jap bikes---so it's basically a poser bike that looks really cobbled together.
and all the harleys are slow.
serious motorcyclists laugh at harley, and the "bad boy" posers who ride them, sans helmet, with the skank girl in shorts on the back. Riding bikes is dangerous, and only a fool rides without protection...the only upside is that the stupid tend to die first, accelerating the evolution of the specie.
ride a harley, with all the harley affectation, and you might as well brand your forehead with the word "moron".
