Interesting....never heard of Christini but like the front wheel drive system. Looks like it can be turned on/off on the fly?

Didn't Yamaha have AWD bikes? Remeber it did quite well in the Paris Dakar a few years ago.

Think I saw a few Honda models with AWD.

I read Magazine reviews of a couple prototypes over the past ten years, but I don't think they were from this company. I believe they were retrofits on existing models, and none of them were street legal either. This is much cleaner. The only bugaboo I remember of the whole concept was the added weight to the front wheel assembly - never a good thing, but especially on dirt bikes. I'd love to see how this actually performs.

As I remember Yamaha quite well at the PD with its hydraulic fwd system. I was disappointed that it never went into production.

I'm still excited about the all wheel drive unicycle.
