First, does it have some sort of launch-assist program? It doesn't look like he's using the throttle on the start line but the bike holds solid RPMs (somewhere 6,000 to 7,000) until the flag drops and he starts feathering out the clutch.
Then all of his upshifts are clutchless and throttleless. Quickshifter, right?
Sort of reduces the rider involvement doesn't it? Is this the current state of the "arms race" at the track, you either have this equipment or you're not competitive?

I don't think he's using any launch assist, just holding rpms at where he wants to launch the bike at. He's definitely using a quick shifter. His bike is fully armed with adjustable forks and probably an adjustable rear shock as well.
