Therefore, no system of material objects may serve as a frame of reference and be completely suitable for the purpose of analyzing in terms of laws the motions of material objects; for such laws of motion should be stated in such a manner that they are unaffected by the peculiar absence or presence of inertial forces in particular physical frames of reference.

Therefore a motorcycle engine / design not only fails to produce the meaningful values of (inertial and composite) torque where it is needed in order to perform the tasks of heavy vehicles - but the torque it does produce is largely combustion - force dependent, and as such (even with modern gearbox design approaches) is still too susceptible to changes in weight and vehicle ascension / gradient for the tasks required.

Motorcycle engines fail at the first * specification and as such they can never do this for the reasons above, others, and also because Torque is a product not just of the combustion process and its resulting forces - but also because it is a product of the engines rotating / reciprocal weight; inertial torque.
