A front-wheel drive motorcycle! I wonder how that handles.
I'd like to know if this was a production machine or a one-off.

With respect lads (due to you lot having a lot of miles on me), I can see front wheel drive being problematic with torque all ahead of you but as I assume nobody has ever ridden one could it be a case of swings and roundabouts, might be unexpected plus's.
I recall the opposition to the mini with it's fwd until a certain Paddy Hopkirk changed minds, no I'd be up for a go on one of these if there were any.

 Sounds great, much like a Tiger Moth but with less cylinders- looks good too, and I don't know if it's the same one ,but;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZghXM9xqCPA

 Shows a bit more detail..hard to tell if they're 2 or 4 stroke ? Four stroke'd be a bitch to do the valve clearances  *work*
