I dunno... clunking around on a diesel bike doesn't seem too sexy to me. Now a ROTARY powered bike would be something! :D
A turbo intercooled diesel is sexy! :p
Suzuki produced a number of rotary bikes as did Wankel and NSU, but unfortunately no manufacturer has pursued the technology since the 70's.
I had the opportunity to ride a Suzuki RE-5 and it was pretty cool. Very smooth.

This is a good site on the rotary bikes: Rotary Recycle USA
I prefer this CANYON ;Dy; ;Dy; :bwgy:
Interesting... Especially since it would have the possibility of being an alternative fuel (BioDiesel) vehicle. Being the more of a supersport fan, it'd look better with more fairing.
Ya, you would. ;)Quote:

Ooh, I like, I like!!
There is a hybrid prototype on the site below that gets 160 mpg. Another bike you'll never see in the U.S.Quote:
