    I view the Christini sort of like a mfwd tractor in that the front has a somewhat different ground speed than the rear. Like the Husky auto the front has freewheeling or coasting built in. I do not really care to figure out how the concept works for the super moto guys but off road the front will only pull if there is some spin/slip on the rear. It seems there is a difference in this phenomenon as the conventional rear drive is adjusted.

    My buddies and I road a KTM version years ago with the previous owner of the company along for a ride. It had WER suspension and Trellies as we road in the snow. All I can say is it hooked up like crazy but you better be strong and fit to ride it.

    Thanks for pointing out that there has been a change of ownership. I tried to buy a two cylce one lately but only could find demo models and one 2014 new. It seems from what I have been told is they have a sockpile of 300 gas gas engines do not expect any 250. The frame is made in china and the under part is welded on in Pa depending on what engine. The two cycle has more room for the shock and it is part of the reason to make the price what it is compared to the four stroke. Just what I was told and by someone who didn't let on their for sale model was a demo model until I arrived and it was quite apparent.

    I think I am fit but not so sure about strong. Am kind of curious if the ability to go in slippery conditions is similar improvement over turning on the front wheel drive for a tractor.

    How about a hydraulic drive on both wheels. The shift lever can be a five speed flow control valve. With the engine rpm the speeds are endless. No chains, no belts, no whistles.

    Olin did a front hydraulic drive on a Yamaha. It was advertised a decade plus ago.

    I would like a 2wd bike for hunting.

    The Bears don't scare me a MOUNTAINLION will stalk you and attack you from behind. Or from a over head advantage point. I seen a mountainlion climb a tree to see where we were it heard us talking but couldn't locate us.

    I have a 400lb Blackbear in my backyard. Bobcat, Lynx, foxes, coyotes, what appears to be wolves, and MOUNTAINLION.
    I have Wild America, even two hen turkeys with there brood of ten. When the gaggle of turkeys is here I counted 26. The deer herd shows up when the corn feeder is running. I wait till the snow is deep. I plow a path for them.

    On a snowy night my trail cam caught something different. I appears to be a wild hog. But hard to tell. It has a hunched back with a long nose. We had a pig farm not far away years ago. It could be a escapee.
