The Burgman 650 belt has individual steel segments, and two Kevlar bands.
Here's a broken one. (Evidently they last about 50,000 miles or more.)
Still haven't been able to think what scooter has the plastic segments -- but it was Burgmanesque, with the pulley adjusted electronically, rather than with flyweights, etc.
