    Taken even a step further. Hook this up to a KTM quad to trike conversion (with a 400 2-stroke powerplant) and you'd hava a real 3X3 all-wheel-drive 3-wheeler. The absolute ultimate ATV ever produced:http://www.gizmag.com/go/3180/
    83' 200x (son's). 85' 200 auto-x & 85' 125m (daughters). 84' Tecate(?). 85' KXT Tecate (mine!, mine!, mine!.)+ some others but don't feel like typing them in.

    You know the front wheel has to spin ever to slightly faster than the back, otherwise it doesn't handle, you just die.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    ^I'm sure KTM has incorporated a way to do that. I know the chain drive motorcycle in the OP has a system that allows the front wheel to spin faster in turns.

    I don't know, it seems kinda odd to go 2wd with a motorcycle. I can understand if it had 4 wheels, but otherwise the rear wheel drive only has seemed to work very well for a long time...

    Indeed, I can see the uses of a 2wd bike like the ROKON, short, heavy duty, and meant to go over terrain that any normal thing wouldn't touch. Like a mud bike.


    But a race bike? No.

    Not for me. If I had an extra $1200, I would add another trike to my signature!

    There is a guy running a two wheel drive on the enduro cross circuit, with a recluse clutch it seems to work good crawling through the rocks but seems to slow him down on the rest of the course...
