They exist. They are specialty, and expensive, and their handling characteristics are decidedly strange. Especially at road speeds. To the very last one they're intended for use in mucky off-road conditions.

See also:

The Rokon Trail-Breaker (not street legal, at least not here)

The Yamha WR450F 2-Trac

Also the various Christini 2WD conversions, which have been around for ages.

I believe there are also some concept street bikes from the Japanese makers with proposed electric/hybrid part time 2WD systems mostly intended to allow you to launch the things off the line faster without flipping over onto your arse.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
