          I believe there are a couple of trail bikes in production with this concept.
          A Yamaha Anybody?
          In one of the most significant moves in motorcycle history, Yamaha has announced that it will release a two-wheel drive motorcycle early in 2004. Though it is not the first two-wheel drive motorcycle in history, the new machine will be a landmark model as it seems certain to be the first of many -…

          Apparently they climb hills better than a goat.
          The hydraulic application is great,
          there is also a bike that uses flexy drive cables off of the camshaft drive train.
          2WD for a road bike?
          That would be something subaru would build

            It'd be interesting to see the whole setup for the hydraulics as thay'd have to have a bypass valve somewhere in the system to vent the pressure from the front drive unit while turning as the two wheels are travelling different distances and hydraulic systems normally have no give in them
