Besides being able to change ratios, some of us just think belts look dumb.

I had a SV650 for a year, my concrete still had the line of lube drips where I used to park it in the garage.
I have a chain mod, just never got motivated to put it on now that I got the other half of the Savage RPM range uncorked ..... the stock belt doesn't look so ugly to me any more.
I will eventually need a front pulley, any of you RYCA boys got a spare front pulley with a good spline to it?
Yeeehhaaaaa !!! Go Go immortal dragon turd magic !!!!

i switched over to the chain, it was hard to find the sprockets in canaduh because all the dealerships thought i was out of my mind when i said why i wanted them so i found this (

) went on amazon and typed in the sprocket numbers (JTR816.45) for your back sprocket and (JTR513.17) for your front the numbers after the period is the number of teeth on your sprocket, i got a 13 and a 17 for the front and after riding both i would prefer the 13 overall ,but i would prefer the belt over the 17/45.

I have seen a few motorcycle sculptures (choppers ala Teutels from OCC), that had no belt, chain, shaft,... nothing! At first glance it appeared there was no way to power the rear wheel. The system being used was a friction drive. One or more powered rollers were rubbing on the front of the rear tire. The rollers were artfully hidden by framework/fenders/etc. Fascinating engineering exercise, but I wonder how well it worked? How well can you move 60hp or more from a 2" diameter roller rubbing on a rear tire?

I've also seen some hydraulic drive bikes.
