The stock transmission cannot take it. For whatever reason they break. I’m not sure what brand they use on the new bikes, really haven’t been interested until they unveiled the LS2.

A lot of guys were scared of the hesitation between shifts… having a 500+ HP big block inbetween your legs rev up and then bang into 2nd will make almost anyone shit their pants. Watch the vid I posted of mild revving in neutral, multiply that by 10 for a WOT rev in neutral (or between shifts).
The guy you are referring to might have had a powerglide, I don’t know for sure either way.
