I am saying threadless will never work in a motorcycle.
But you implied it, based on your experience with something other than bicycles.
All sorts of motor engineering stuff just doesn't apply to bicycles. Low mass, low RPM, low power, low speed, low traction. Threadless is a better design, because it is simpler, lighter, more corrosion resistant, requires fewer tools, is easily adjusted and gives identical bearing life -if not better because it is easier to get adjusted in the first place.
