Hey SFC Chromey, HOTTIEBOY here.

Most race spec bikes, and when I say race spec I mean race spec, are equipped with speed sensors on each wheel. They monitor front wheel speed as opposed to real wheel speed.
These sensors will retard the timing for a slip second if the front wheel comes of the ground and if the rear wheel starts spinning to allow for control or traction.

Now imagine riding a bike equipped with this mechanism that is wired backwards.

Yeah. Front wheel thinks it's rear and rear thinks its front.

Imagine coming out of the straight after turn 7 at Sears point and your front tire touches down at 145mph. As soon as the front tire touches the speed sensors retard the timing and your rear wheel locks up. Wild ride.

I would much rather ride a replica than the real thing. It takes way too much skill to control those monsters.

Yea that would be an interesting ride! I had two favorite parts at Sears Point: (ok three)
1- lifting the front exiting 3a as the track drops towards turn 4.
2- braking into the Carousel, the tracks rises to a crest, then falls away to the 6 story drop. The rear tire pops into the air, the front gets airborne as you crest, then locks momentarily as the front returns to earth, then bend the bike into the loooong left hander.
3(a+b)- hammering the brakes entering Turn 7 and 11, lifting the rear tire, bending into the corner, and feeling the rear step out just a bit as it touches back down while closing on the apex.

The MotoGP bikes and WSB bikes have the latest in traction control. Those bikes can measure tire temps, wheelspeed of the tire and rim (not always the same!), suspension travel, and brake rotor temps.

Most of the other series, the sensors only measure tire temps across the surface. Daytona was a prime track that highlighted the need for monitoring tire temps on bikes. Imagine a catastrophic failure at just shy of 200mph while coming through the tri-oval. Yes it has happened, and heck no it wasn't me! I ain't that brave!

Go fast and swerve :)
