Well, if you read the link, the first paragraph stated that it;s a Hydraulic motor setup.

and Ohlins teamed with Suzuki about 7 years ago to prototype an AWD motorcycle.

And seems nobody here has ever heard of a Rokon?

Do not mean to hijack this thread and ruin storydudes record of always having to have the last comment on every thread he has entered ;D, but did you guys read the article in the top left?

Holy Cow, Back flip over Ceasers Palace Fountains.
http://www.mikemetzger.com/ Go to the news section and there is a link there to the video of this. Or you can link straight to the video here http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/news/story?id=2433858 125' back flip over the fountains and he sticks the landings.

I remember Gary Wells trying to just jump over it and messing himself up really bad. Evil Knievel was in a coma for 29 days after trying to jump it.

 

[atv]

ya i read it lol i was pretty impressed...

 

[warrioracer08]

Holy **** that was sick. That guy has got some balls to do that.

Yes indeed the AWD bike prototypes have been around a while, I was reading about those a couple years ago before I got the ohlins. I can see why Evil and the other guy crashed back in the 60's, the suspension and everything used to suck back then. That was how ohlins started back in the 70's, the owner was pissed off at how bad the shocks were back then.

Also Evil was using overweight and poorly balanced harleys to do his jumps, his son is good, but when he jumps on an overweight harley and does 1/2 the jumps his dad did on them id be impressed.


But anyway the backflip was pretty insane, at least he did it on a 2 stroke.. haha
