Yes 2-wheel drive dirt bikes/motorcycles have been made before. I remember seeing ads for them in the backs of off-road magazines. The things were tanks, and had covers over the wheels for storage. I also know they've tested them in the Dakar Rally you might have seen on the Speed Channel. They were all chain driven if I remember correctly. I imagine they feel pretty weird to ride with your front wheel pulling.

Thanks for the correction. I could see 2wd bikes having an advantage in motocross.
