Are you F**** kidding me!!!!!!!!!! I thought that this was a joke when i first saw it, but is that really the inside of honda's gearbox? When the idea of gearboxs came out i thought it was great and built my own, which was far more complex than that piece of shit. I though that hondas was electronically operated with 10+ gears, i wanted to see complex engineering not a rear mech and a cassette in an F*****G BOX.

They're a motorcycle company, not Shimano. It wasn't their intent to revolutionize the shifting on DH bikes. Basically they took existing technology and rearranged it to make it better, then put some ridiculously fast riders on their bikes and beat almost everyone else. Don't get your panties in a wad over it.

its exactly the same as a standard drive train just jumbled together in that big box? If thats what the were doing y couldnt they scale everything down to make it fit in a much smaller box?

well i always thought u didnt have to pedal forward to change gears on a honda (as in to move the chain over the sprokets) i thought it was a weird system tht involved no skipping of the chain as it changed gears
