Wow! That's cool! It appears to be all wheel drive. What is the name of that vehicle?

I'm not sure how to translate it from Russian. It must something like "moto-all-rounder", in the sense of "motorbike that goes anywhere".
As far as I see, it's just a prototype. According to their (or even his) web site http://www.mtv-t.ru/ there are two models: one with a 2-stroke engine, and one with a 4-stroke. Both with centrifugal 2- or 3-gear transfer boxes, all wheel drive, and disk brake on the "middle shaft" (whatever this is exactly). Claims top speed of 60km/h, i.e. about 40mi/h, and dry weight between 47 and 74 kg, depending on the engine and gearbox. And they are in search for an investor to mass-produce them |

That even beats a Rokon!
The middle shaft is likely to be a jackshaft, which can allow power to be transfered from the countershaft to the opposite side of the rear wheel. I loved how he was able to pack it all in the back of a Ford Festiva, and the suspension didn't even droop.

Thanks for posting the link to the vehicle's website, Krasi.
http://www.mtv-t.ru/ I surmise the 2-stroke version of the bike is called the '2x2 Tarus 2,' and the 4-stroke version is called the '2x2 Tarus 2m.' The entire bike disassembles into two bags! P.S. They need a sexy model to hold the two bags, instead of a former KGB agent. At least he could smile.

It looks like a Ford Fiesta to me.
