Here is a picture I took of an extremely odd bike which is at the Donington racing museum. I think it's a prototype bike, possible with dual wheel steering. Does anyone even know what it is? It's just a bit funky, and I can't remember for the life of me other than the fact it's from Aus..

Whatever it is it has hub center steering
Some serious technology in the bike.

Can't see how you'd steer the rear, it's a swingarm. it does have hub-centre steering though, which is cool ____________________ Back on a Blade. Just feels so right. |

Wotcha.
Two wheeled drive bikes have been around for quite a while - take a nose at ROKON. Hydraulic drive is too inefficient - or at least it used to be, I don't what advances have been made during the last ten years or so.
Must admit - I'd quite like a Rokon to play with ____________________ Cheers.

They had a big thing in MCN about it. The engine as well as powering the rear wheel also powers a hydralic system which drives the front. you lose power as a result, but gain traction and cornering ability. The only reason current dirtbikes/supermoto's are quicker than 2 wheel drive ones is because people are used to riding them. Once the price of 2 wheel drive has come down, and it is made that bit more efficient everyone will get used to it and it will wipe the floor with all current offroad bikes!
I'm supprised the military hasnt started using them, a 2 wheel drive dirtbike could go anyway offroad a hell of alot quicker than any car! |
