    I dunno... clunking around on a diesel bike doesn't seem too sexy to me. Now a ROTARY powered bike would be something!

    Thumbs up

    A turbo intercooled diesel is sexy!

    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

    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.

    If I did the math right...

    2.5L = .66 gallons

    100Km = 62.137 Miles

    62.137 Miles / .66 Gallons = 94.15 MPG
