Using this logic, it the Norton tranny would work in a Semi.

Takes more torque to move a 1200lb car than a 385lb bike. That torque has
to pass through the tranny somehow.

Increased drag on the car will have to be overcome by more torque as well.

So, Chris, just where does that extra torque come from?

The increased drag will cause the transmission to wear faster. But it
won't cause it to break. Nor would putting it in a semi, although the
clutch wouldn't hold up.
