    I think it's just part of the overall design plus a desire to lower the center of gravity of the bike + rider. The Rally version sits higher with more ground clearance, but how much I don't know.

    The drive shaft is what enables the Ryker to handle dirt and gravel roads better than the belt driven Spyder.

    Another newb question (hope you folks don't get tired of me and my questions):

    Watched a YouTube video of a Ryker road test. The rider mentioned the "negative camber" and "positive camber" of the machine, apparently this has to do with the way the front wheels seem to lean, either inward at the top or outward at the top. Can someone explain a little more? Is one direction better? Safer? What are the symptoms to the rider (can I tell just by driving)?

    Thx.
