Re: [ST] Drive by Wire



I think it is a great idea when implemented properly (Honda cars, BMW
has some sort of VVT setup).  However, the problem with VTEC in the VFR
is that its a GO-NO GO situation.  The setup opens a second set of
valves at a specific RPM, giving the same effect you get from hitting
the powerband on older race bikes (its actually hard to describe, but
that kind of gives you the idea).  Some people don't mind it, even like
it.  However, if they could make the valve timing seamlessly adjustable,
it would be much more efficient.

Its certainly an interesting time to be around to witness this
development.

I've never driven a car with variable valve timing so perhaps someone
can 
enlighten me as to whether its a noticeable thing or not and how this
may work or 
not when properly developed for a mtorcycle?
