Re: Wrong too
Most systems are NOT linked. It is absolutely relevant to the discussion at hand.
The RC30 rear system was developed in an effort to overcome both the instantaneous weight-transfer (and resulting lightening of the rear-end) that comes with hard-braking a sport/race bike, AND the "jacking" effect on the swingarm resulting from closing the throttle (all this, merely by applying the rear brake).
Results were mixed. But it *DID* work, although it wasn't a "Magic Bullet", and rapidly-developing tire-technology quickly surpassed any advantages it had versus the weight-penalty and added complexity of that system (Traction was the Name of The Game).
Hence, the reason you don't see something like this on modern sportbikes: with even the cheapest tires of today, there's no real advantage to be had, and complexity costs money.
This demonstrates that, even in the late-'80s, Honda's Engineers had a fundamental grasp of the braking-characteristics of Motos.
It also demonstrates that socko doesn't. While socko-master might (especially if he's whom I believe to be), he's chosen to have socko portray a block-headed ignoramus with a "Big Mouth" and a poison pen.
(just to keep shyte "stirred up" on the MO forums)
