If i am not wrong this technology was used by Yamaha in 2004 DAKAR Rally....
Good to see a production bike with this technology..

But I read that the bike is yet to be released and that it will be a limited edition production run.

I may be wrong.

Interesting. I wonder if the hydraulic motor will be suitable for an all wheel drive car.

No you are not wrong, Production version of the 2-Trac system bike is yet to be released but this has already been used in many competitive races and Enduro championships. To have a glimpse of 2TRAC's history read

That's true dude. YAMAHA did employ 2-wheel drive and the 450 WR - 2WD was ridden by David Fretigne.
