Debatable.

Sirius Black, and then Hagrid, rode a flying, roaring motorbike.

This was wizarding propulsion on a Muggle vehicle, rather than the reverse, but it makes a rocket broomstick quite a bit more believable.

It's an obvious idea for any Muggleborn wizard, at the very least.

The only reason it hasn't been used to escape Azkaban before is that everyone was using Quirrel's original "perfect" plan. :-)
