finally. I've been trying to convince people of a diesel powered motercycle for over 10 years. "diesels are too slow", "much too heavy for that" the new generation of diesels will prove them wrong (as long as the government keeps there nose out of it)

 

if it makes it to the US the EPA will put them through so much crap that they MIGHT get 25MPG and will have so much emissions BS there won't be room for the engine....


they will likely require a Cat, DPF, Urea injection, EGR and anything else that can rob the performance of the motor..... i'd hate to be riding it while the DPF went into regen.....

 

tell me about it

 

Think there is a ride report along with tons of other info jammed into the thread at Advriders.

well when English wasn't his first language communication wasn't easy plus he was literally appalled of the people on here wanting "smoke" out of their engine, he even requested to have the smoke stack next to his name not puff out smoke when he was here, he is hardcore about an efficient powerful engine with minimal emissions....

you know this site isn't "diesel motorcycle" friendly either.....
