Um Perry VE>100% by definition says that you have inertial supercharging so
MAP >atmo. So you can still sense it if you are timed sampling.

As for MAF on motorbikes I have yet to see a workable MAF solution that
works with IR systems and teeny throttled volumes without screwing up the
throttle response. Not to say it can't be done, but seems pointless. No, is
pointless :-)
