Ducati has stability control available on the 2016 Multistrada and 1299 Panigale. The rider review by Sean McDonald on Wired has glowing words on its performance.
They used outrigger wheels while testing on a Multistrada. I remember when BMW used outrigger wheels testing their new ABS.
The new 2015 Vespa 300s have ABS and Stability Control. My Vespa doesn’t have it though, it’s a 2014 model.
I saw this 1937 instructional film about the principal of a car’s differential transmission on Road and Track’s Blog (How A Differential Works).
I was surprised when the film opened to see a Motorcycle drill team performing some precision maneuvers. I thought it would be interesting to share just for the sake of watching the riders on their Harleys performing. The explanation of a differential is pretty informative too. I like these old industrial instructional films.
