Quite nice but 2wd?
I do not see any hydraulic line to the front hub (Ohlins style) at all.

I really like the rear suspension/drive train though.

Driveshaft down the fork leg or something sneaky?

I'd really like one too :D Not for anything hardcore, just because a diesel bike makes so much sense.

If you had ridden AWD then you would know! I have two AWD Christini
bikes available for you to ride here- they are a blast, you can do no wrong!

That early Ohlins system was clunky and agricultural - this one intreigues me!? no sign of hoses or front hub hydraulic motor!

However- I am totally sold on Christinis full mechanical system- just look at it.
it is bloody gorgeous and so efficient. 1/10 of a horse power to drive it!121542

It has an ingenious hydraulic two-wheel drive system that implies a hydraulic pump being powered off the gearbox output shaft and which then runs an impeller in the front hub. The system is supposed to transfer as much as 15% of power to the front wheel, but the percentage can vary depending on the relative position of the throttle to the rear wheel speed

so it runs a hydraulic motor AND a shaft drive to rear?

The companies homepage: http://dieselmotorcycles.eu/

The link about to the 2wd system info doesn't seem to work though.
