Sounds like a bus though.

These diesel bikes rear their ugly heads from time to time, things like an adapted Enfield India and then there was the MZ Robin Diesel and the forces wanted them so that all their vehicles ran on a single fuel for logistical reasons. Heres a site devoted to them.

I've heard worse sounding Ducati's! I'm joking, i'm joking.

I actually quite like it though.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....

I've got my eyes closed :thumbsdown: :nash:

[JerryXt]

it's even uglier than my KTM! Good idea tho.

[neilbaldry]

it sounds like a transit!

I like diesel engines.
120 mpg and fewer electrical problems.
I'd have one.

[gary tompkins]

Oooh that sounds sexy :freak:

[neilbaldry]

you never know, the first viable diesel bike could be the next gen of scooters?

[ricky]

i actually like the look of it and it sounds ok, would love to hear it on full chat!! apparently the engine is out of small tractor thing so maybe you could get an agriculture vehicle tax for it and run it on red diesel!! :biggrin: 60p a litre i think!!

[neilbaldry]

lol Ricky, if only! Red Diesel is cheaper (tax free) as its not meant to be used on public highways. if you were to use it as a track bike, spotty dog!

[manwithredbike]

it actually looks like a yam super tenere that i once owned. the drive shaft coupler thingy looks like a bit of an ankle slicer.
i suspect you'd get away with the agricultural diesel as they never seem to stop bikes
