Motorcycle Repair: motorcycles, in general, weight shifts, front wheel drive

Question
Jim:

This isn't about repair and it is rather offbeat.
Is it possible to have "front wheel drive" on a motorcycle?

Thanks,   Joe

Answer
No. The problem is that when you accelerate, the weight shifts to the rear wheel. On a really powerful bike you can often feel the front want to come off the ground.

A front wheel driver motorcycle wouldn't work because as the weight lifts off the front wheel it will start spinning when it loses traction.
