When we went to Barstow for the dealer intro/demo of the Wildcat, it was a day after the press intro and there were a few wadded up cars behind the transporter. One genius had highmarked a hill, and stopped right at the apex for a photo op... DOH!
Last few time we went to Cracker Barrel the food was pretty lousy. They used to have great biscuits, but these were gas station grade hockey pucks, at best.
They were already on the ropes, and the new CEO promotes the alphabet deviant lifestyle. Eliminating the old cracker leaning on the barrel is just the icing on the cake.
If the charger is gear driven it won't be a pulley change situation. On the Ninja, I read that it's even a two-speed planetary gear drive. No idea if the SxS is the same.
I'm sure in the motorcycle application it's likely turning 12K+ RPM. You can't turn a CVT primary that fast, so naturally peak horsepower will be less. Not to mention the SxS weighs 8 times a sportbike, so it has to be tuned for torque.
