Rubber mounted engines on motorcycles?

Many manufacturers have opted for rubber bushings in their engine mounts to reduce vibration; Harley did this with the Sportster in 2004. One would think that the rubber mount would increase engine "play" within the mounts and lead to drivetrain wear elsewhere. Is this the case or are the components to which the engine is linked engineered such that they can tolerate the vibration?

Manufacturers engineer the frame and drivetrain of their bikes with isolation-mounted engines with production tolerances that allow for the limited amount of flex. All the Harley big twins since introduction of the Evo engine (and the current TC88 engines) have isolation (rubber) engine mounts. The Sportster was always "hard mounted" to the frame until 2004 or 2005, when they went to isolation mounts. This significantly reduced the vibration transmitted to the frame and rider. I have not experienced any drive train component problems with my "rubber mounted" Harleys.
