Correct, but you can still destroy them by over revving
I seem to recall maximum piston speeds of about 27 metres per second. Not many engines will handle any faster before something big, bad and expensive happens.

Cool, so Ducati engines are better
Glad we confirmed that.

Not necessarily better, just a little more Idiot-Proof....
Wow, so springs can't react quick enough which makes sense. I've hit a few false neutrals using my quickshifter on my Ducati 899 and the revs skyrocket into and past the usual redline (I had one last weekend), does the desmodronic valve design mean that they shouldn't suffer the same as no springs involved ?
Seeking to understand.

Oi ! I resemble that remark
Something else DrFarkoff mentioned I'd like to clarify, he mentioned pulling the clutch in was a silly thing to do, is that because the rev-limiter won't cut in if the clutch is engaged or was it more that the engine in gear would have provided more resistance ?
