Advantage of the chain is the easy gearing changes necessary for different tracks. For racing it's ok, since they probaly change out sprockets and chain after every race.

Weight is shaved via new titanium exhaust system and 6-spoke magnesium wheels, which replace aluminum stock units. The cast aluminum swingarm is machined with an axle adjustment system and a chain drive replaces the stock 1125R’s belt system (though the current 1125R is already being campaigned with such a chain drive).

Unless they mean only on the track bikes.
