Beg to differ, respectfully. The launch is all about the clutch slip. The fastest launches i get, in a car or moto, is to rev to the middle of the power band, around 5k, then the moment i start to let the clutchout i peg the gas to the floor and from then on its all slipping the clutch. I modulate thd clutch so that i stay in the power band , 4-6k and if the wheels spin too much i slip the clutch more to regain traction. Same thing if i start to bog. Slip the clutch to get the rpms up.

Its a very delicate and very fast dance with the clutch but it works. But beware. This is very brutal on the clutch
