    Two Wheel Drive Yamaha R1 - Yes, both wheels.

    Seems like an interesting idea. Supposedly its more efficient in some circumstances even, but its a little hard to believe. I don't completely see how that little hydraulic pump can put enough power to the front wheel to be effective, but I don't know much about the subject really. Interesting none the less. Check it out

    There's a European version of the WR that comes from the factory with 2-wheel drive. I would love to have one of those babies!!!
