Re: [DucatiST] New Army 2 wheel drive bike. Ducati could build one.

 

Nope, the Rokon never really made it.  However, that bike(?) was ponderous and slow.  I've ridden a couple of those and 35 mph is an accomplishment.  Snow tractor:  Yes.  Motorcycle:  Not really.

I seem to remember the Yamaha/Ohlins system of hydraulic front-drive was very limited in the amount of power/traction it gave. The Christini is mechanical, though the statement that all the drive chains and gears only consume 1/10 bhp is surprising. The Rokon two-wheel tractor never made it big, I don't think?
