Can you please explain the difference between a "race" engine mount and a "street" engine mount?

Clearly my impression of what an "engine mount" is and does, does not conform to any kind of actual reality.

The fundamental difference between a street engine mount and a race engine mount comes down to a design compromise: isolating cabin NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) versus maximizing drivetrain rigidity and throttle response.

For a daily-driven or occasional street car, race mounts usually introduce an uncomfortable level of vibration. Conversely, for a dedicated track or competition car, street mounts are often too soft, leading to excessive engine slop and sluggish response during aggressive driving.
 
Road and engine vibration ?

I did shop for my Evo Harley, I tested a Low Rider, Dyna, and a Soft Tail,
Evo Soft Tail, full solid engine mounts, before the Twin Cam crank balancer, fitted to Softies.
Dyna full rubber mounted, two different feels,
I did go with solids, and winding her ALL the Way Out it would blow rear turn signal bulbs, vibration.

I had to glance over at your avatar to make sure you were saying that with a straight face.
 
Some SRAM nine 9 speed cogs from Performancebike

They look shiny...counterfeit. So weird. Yes the box has two more smaller cogs and a lockring

I have a jacket as well but it’s too hot for city bicycle riding, hence the vest. It’s a great winter jacket for Oregon tho. A few neighbors have thanked me for wearing it while out walking.

I could do a ride report, but first impressions are really good. It's got foot shift and finger shift and fingerless shift. Button right under the throttle to toggle auto/manual, on the fly. My favorite is roll forward throttle all the way to a click, downshift! So four ways to shift and no clutch in sight. Fucking glorious. Adaptive radar cruise from start to set speed. It's like they listened to all the wishes of the ADV crowd and granted them. $10K less than Ducati MTS V4. And they attached fuel tanks down low, picking it up off the sidestand is a breeze. 2.99% APR and four year warranty. Oh, let's not forget they routed all the heat away from the rider with dual radiators and ducts. Which also let's the frame stay compact. It can take off and cruise around town in third gear, which I locked in manually. They did it, they finally did it. Unicorn
 
The quick shifter on my 890 adventure R has rendered the clutch lever to near useless, but still needed at stops.
As my left hand is recovering from a procedure, I really enjoyed the quick shifter clutchlessness. When I had to ride a full manual bike, my left hand was not happy.
Good to know there are good options now.
 
I'm weird, but I also don't have any hand issues.

I have not warmed to the speed shifter. I still use the clutch. Just feels odd to me to "just shift".

But, that said, were I looking for a new bike I would give serious consideration to an automatic transmission.
 
It's raining here. Hmm, let's see how this works. Twist throttle, go forward without and slipping or spinning, bang shift, no wiggle. You will all be assimilated.
