>>>The driveshaft is actually contained within the swingarm.   The pinion 
gear tries to climb up the ring gear and it extends the suspension.   
Potentially lethal, because if you were cornering at max lean on the gas, and 
rolled off the gas, the suspension would settle and you'd have negative 
clearance--the chassis would dig into the ground, lever the wheel off the ground, and 
the next thing you know you're upside-down in a tree.

BMW finally got smart and engineered some sort of parallogram thing to 
prevent it from happening.

I would still never ride a BMW.   Stands for Built Mostly Weird.
