The Walens Trident shaft-driven bike was made in the United States in the early 1970s. It was produced by the Walens Company, which was known for its innovative designs, including the unique shaft-driven system. The bike aimed to offer a smoother and more maintenance-free riding experience compared to traditional chain-driven motorcycles.
shaft driven
All BMW's(except cross country), some Honda touring bikes, the Suzuki Boulevard (and the Volusia before it) and the Yamaha V Star. I bet there are others, too. Kawasaki cruisers, Ural, some Moto Guzzi. A 1953 Sunbeam 350cc is the earliest I can remember.... Triumph, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasai, and Yamaha, have produced shaft drive motorcycles Motorcycle engines positioned such that the crankshaft is longitudinal and parallel to the frame are often used for shaft driven motorcycles. This requires only one 90° turn in power transmission, rather than two. Moto Guzzi, BMW, Triumph, and Honda use this engine layout. Motorcycles with shaft drive are subject to shaft effect where the chassis climbs when power is applied. This is counteracted with systems such as BMW's Paralever, Moto Guzzi's CARC and Kawasaki's Tetralever.

vin is on the fork shaft
No it is driven by a drive shaft. The cam is driven by a chain.
no.
If you are accelerating hard at the time, there may be engine damage. Otherwise there will be a lot of noise and you will be walking instead of riding. Motorcycles are designed so that such things do not cause catastrophic results, unless you happen to slow down suddenly in front of a truck.
The sector shaft is the secondary or indirectly driven shaft in a manual transmission. It typically houses the "driven" gears along with reverse, although newer transmissions place reverse on its own shaft.
Older ones, yes. Newer bikes are belt driven to the rear wheel and chain driven on the primary.
no it will slow it down
It is an intermediate shaft between the powered and driven shafts in a belt drive
