Shaft drive for balloon tired motorcycle

摘要

An improved drive arrangement for an off the road motorcycle having a balloon tired rear wheel that has a width at least equal to the width of the vehicle frame. The rear wheel is driven from an engine output shaft by a drive shaft that is contained within a trailing arm that supports the rear wheel and which has an angularly disposed portion for transferring the drive from an inwardly placed engine output shaft to an outer location on the rear wheel.
