1. A motorcycle transmission assembly comprising:
a transmission housing having a hollow interior; a gear train including a plurality of selectively meshable gears mounted in the hollow interior of the transmission housing, said train including an input operatively connectable to a motor of the motorcycle, a main shaft rotatably mounted in the hollow interior of the transmission housing for rotation in a first direction, a counter shaft rotatably mounted in the hollow interior of the transmission housing for rotation in a second direction opposite said first direction, and an output operatively connectable to a drive wheel of the motorcycle; a hollow stub shaft connected to one gear of said plurality of gears in the gear train, said one gear being rotatably mounted on the main shaft a brake rotor having opposite faces mounted on the hollow stub shaft in a position between the input and the one gear that is mounted on the hollow stub shaft, operatively connected to the output of the gear train to apply braking torque to the output via at least one gear of said plurality of gears of the train; and a brake caliper fixedly mounted with respect to the transmission housing having opposing brake pads, each of said brake pads being positioned on a corresponding one of said brake rotor faces, the brake pads being selectively moveable between a running position in which the pads are spaced from the rotor faces and a braking position in which the pads engage the rotor faces to resist rotation of said gear of said plurality of gears and thereby resist rotation of the output of the gear train by transmitting the braking torque through said gear of said plurality of gears of the train. |
