[Ducati] No traction control after all...

[Scott Cloninger]

Bulls#!t!!!!!!!

Suzuki's been using "engine management" as traction control for two years.  You were at Barber, Vicki....didn't you notice something funny about the sound of two Suzukis (and only two..the ones that were 1-1.5 seconds per lap quicker than everything else) as they went from full lean to upright entering the front straight?  Ba.ba.ba.ba.ba.ba.ba bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.  Yate's bike didn't sound like that, and he was hazing the heck out of the rear on corner exits.  Suzuki are cutting time or cylinders (probably cylinders, it sounds like a soft rev limiter) and I'll lay odds they're doing it based on change in engine RPM over time using signal from a crank speed trigger.  There is no question in my mind that they're masquerading traction control in engine management clothing.  Maybe it's time for the others to simply cheat with Suzuki.

My two cents,

Cloner....not a cheater, but willing to learn.

Guess the AMA didn't care for that Cycle News snippet.
