Now on another note...........we BMW bike people may well see a computer controlled variable cam timing design that positions the cam sprocket to the degree of timing that is needed at any engine load, rpm, and throttle opening position. The computer will optimize these variables and send this info to the sprocket control for the correct cam timing position for the given engine condition........while at the same time sending the same info to the fuel injectors and spark ignition. Everybody, cam, fuel, spark........... would be working like a team.
We may well see this form of VCT sooner than some might think. You read it on this forum.

I hope those little cam gears aren't driven by Lucas actuators
This computer crap is soooo over my age.
