One long, obsessive night, I spent way too much time researching Diesel
motorcycles. That one came up as a recurring character on eBay. I
guess no one ever buys. There's a surprisingly large community of
Diesel bike junkies, mainly in Germany (which somewhat hampered my
research). They generally use very small engines off of gensets and are
very much made for economy not performance, though a few were
engineering in the engines off of the MB Smart cars, one had a VW 1.6 TD
engine bike, and I believe that one was working in a 1.3TDI off a Lupo.
Power:Weight being what it is, I imagine that those would move. I
figure I'm already getting great economy and all the thrills I need with
the TDI along with a roll cage, seat belts, and an air bag so I don't
have any plans to fire up the torch out in the garage, but I'll respect
someone with the dream.
