    Doesn't seem feasible to me

    • driven wheel should be the rear one cos of weight transfer (including the riders weight not just the engine)
    • engines way too high so horrible top heavy handling characteristics
    • lots of rear grip mid corner but the front won't be able to turn in at a high enough speed to take advantage of the rear grip
    • still only a single contact patch to put power down
    • wheel base is too long to handle like a sports bike


    A motorbike version of a 4 wheel inline skate with twin steer wheels sounds much better. Wheels would have to be really tiny though or it'd be way too tall.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem
