SandBox_Kid Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Yamaha is testing a new two wheel drive two wheeler....what do you two wheel riders think? Is this really news to anyone? Edited April 25, 2006 by cmyfirepole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Actually its not news.. that setup was used to race dakar a couple years ago.. they are finally trying to put it into production.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 That thing isn't for my style of riding. If I was competing in a technical race course like Dakar or something then maybe, but I couldn't see how one of those would really be any better for what I like riding 2 wheelers for. If anything I probably couldn't even ride the damn thing being to used to a 1 wheel drive 2 wheeler and all. :rainbow1: I have my Grizzly 660 for the tough trail sh*t.

Don29palms Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 That would be cool seeing a two wheeler with a paddle on the front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightime Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 No rust on the pipe for sure, sand blasted from the front roost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdave Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 im not a two wheel rider but i dont think it would be much use except in something like the dakar race. they cant use paddles and those dunes are wicked that they have to go over.
