The Killinger and Freund Front Wheel Drive Motorcycle

I've come across this photo a number of times, but never paid much attention to it. Just another unusual European motorcycle. Then the unusual front wheel caught my eye and I did a little research on it. Turns out that the engine and transmission are all housed in the front wheel. It's an interesting piece of German engineering and worth reading about.

Love to see and hear one of those run.

I bet it has a unique sound. I just wonder how much exhaust you would breath riding it in traffic. Like having three chainsaws running in front of you all the time.
