Two Wheel Drive

Well it's been a while but the rains are here and that means I don't work...therefore I'm on the computer or riding.

Just got the new Dirt Rider...whatda' y'all think 'bout the 2WD WR. Looks like it would be fun to try but I can't imagine spending $18,000 on it(even if it was available in the US). Think we'll see alot more of these in the future? Pretty cool though.

thats crazy. I still dont understand how it works. Well see how it goes over with the riding population!

I think this has potential!

I think it is a good idea....i guess the main point of it is handling out of corners-but i love it when the rear slides everywhere and is all over the place-more challending and fun!

Pretty smart. I would love to try one. I wonder if this is the type of thing we'll be seeing everywhere in 10 years?

I think they will only use it for Rally applications. I don't see much of a benefit with MX. It will only make the bike heavier and create more potential problems on the track.
There have been other factories that have tried the 2wd concept in Rallies for years. Don't expect them at the dealership any time soon, if ever.

I dont think it would work too well. Like when you come out of a corner sometimes you wheelie and your wheel turns. What if you land like that and the wheel is turned on the 2 wheel drive? Wont you eat it??? I dunno
