Perhaps there are some advantages but that could also be said about the other side. But ultimately the smoothness of the rider dictates tire wear and feeling the limit. I am not too sure a smooth rider would need the Yamaha solution to make his tires last for a race. Perhaps the solution could be as simple as backing off the TC and allowing more wheel spin. Contrary as it seems, wheel spin can actually reduce tire wear.
Then again, who am I to even have ideas or suggestions about something a factory like BMW is working on.
