[ST] belts



I have heard (don't remember who, where, or when) that in some applications
belts are prone to breakage.

I had also heard of the aborted Sprint-ST-gone-belt-drive experiment, and
seem to remember it having something to do with breakage.

>> reason I kept breaking the H-D belt.

When Japanese motorcycle manufacturers were asked about belt drives, 
Kawasaki said belts were only good to about 400ccs. In fact, they used 
to have a 400cc belt driven bike, (actually 440, I think)
When Harley was mentioned, the Kwacker guy's response was, "That's what 
I said, 400ccs."
