I have never seen one..curious...does anyone know?

 

They have made belt driven KZ models before.

 

The older vulcans do. early 90's I believe

 

For curiosity's sake, why do you want to know?

 

well..because.. chains just seem like a huge pain..you have to lube them, clean them, then they break sometimes or they can get loose you know...but with a belt thats it, care free...stays tight no care.. it just seems better... and i know chains are supposed to be better for racing but thats it. so i was thinking why not just make all bikes be belt driven..it jsut seems better.. my 2 cents. i am sure it has down falls too though.

 

To each his own but I can say that after years and years of racing dirt bike I've never had a chain break on me. Probably even less chance on the street. Don't know any statistics or tech jumbo but if belts are better than 90% of all bike would probably have then. Belt driven does make for a nice smooth ride though.

 

Belts crack, stretch and wear as well. Belts are quiet, but I still prefer the chain final drive.

 

ive got harley freinds that that have broken belts before. i like chain drive as well

 

there is always old reliable shaft drive.

 

reliable if you keep the maintenance up on it. had a buddie whos shaft drive locked up on him, almost crashed.[&:]
