An idea that just won't die and go away

Longtime PFN readers know that I have a slight aversion to covering motorsports. Hell, I think mopeds and electric bikes are fucking lame, and Segways... well, say no more. (Vintage Vespas and Triumphs are tits, though.)

But in the interest of alerting the greater two-wheeled community, I thought it prudent to let you know that BMW has reintroduced the hoary old idea of two-wheel drive for a motorcycle, with this concept dirt-bike for hill climbing. (Thing has some sort of automotive mustache going on.)




Will we see another two-wheel drive bicycle in our lifetimes? Count on it. Probably by the end of the summer.
