Don't forget the proper hardware
Racing Cylinder IMOLA 198 cc CH39
Would you like the idea of fitting a big bore 200cc cylinder to your 'small block' motor? No problem! LAMBRETTA tuning legend Tino Sacchi has an extr…
I'm not averse to rubber drive belts - either on the final drive or the gear-train. In terms cruisers / final drive, all of the big Harleys now have them (had for the last 30 years or more in fact). If the belts can handle the torque and power pulses of those brutes, they shouldn't struggle in any other cruisers.
Central engine = Lambretta I think.Don't know if it is also a Vespa, but came across this machine in Sardinia earlier in the Summer:
You can't see it too well in the photo, but it also had a short but very fat expansion box exhaust, with a short little 'silencer' tacked on the end. When the owner started it up it crackled and rasped just like a full-blown open-class motocrosser.
I'd never actually wanted a scooter prior to that moment
This is my take also. A vehicle as light as a bike doesn't need disc rear brakes this side of 10/10ths on a race track. You'll never get fade. They stay clean, they don't gum up, they just work.

Yeah, he'll never get the hang of it, panic braking like that, standing it on the front wheel and hanging his leg out because he's scared of the thing sliding away.At 10/10ths on a sports bike you don't even need 'em - the forward weight transfer pretty much renders them useless.
Some wannabe working on his technique..
You can see me here... the second rider in the video demonstrating the technique perfectly
Dunno - some lad who used to crash in practice a lot. A lot to learn..obviously
Except, drums are poor with respect to control compared to disc. drum brakes can't be modulated to anything like the same degree as a disc brake can, and good riders use the rear to stablise the bike under some circumstances.
He's by far my least favorite MotoGP rider. He's undoubtedly fast, but IMHO he's a bully on the track. There's been more than one rider during his career that's called him dangerous.
I've not ridden enough bikes to know, but never found drums hard to modulate on cars. Using the rear a little I always thought was universal, it stops the back carrying on and overtaking you if you stop the front. I always liked drums on the rear of cars because they stay clean from one year to the next and don't gum up. Obviously they aren't much cop on 100+ bhp cars or anything over a tonne, but they were the tool of choice for hatches up to 1300 cc.
Who is it?

Thanks, I know Marc Marquez, I wondered if it was him but I just didn't recognise him from his number only. As you say he generally only won races at the cost of at least one wrecked bike per practice session and god knows how many injuries over the years.Sorry didn't realise before that you were genuinely asking who he was.
Mark Marquez - won five MotoGp world championships, and before that a 125cc and then a Moto 2 world title,
Márquez 7th World Championship - Box Repsol
The Repsol Honda rider clinched his fifth premier class title in Japan today –his third in a row, and his seventh in all classes.
Successor to Rossi, and for me (at least) by far the bravest and most gifted GP rider of the current era. Used to crash in practice in almost every GP round establishing where the absolute limits of the bike were - and then ride the wheels off the bike in every race, rarely fall off, and usually win.
I think he's both incredibly talented and brave.
