Spotted at the great Dorset Steam Fair by a work collegue as he was packing up - I didn't see it there on display

anyone recognise it / have more info on this?
(looks to be a 3 cyl diesel??)

Awesome looking beast IMO and love the trailer Smile

Hopefully the pics he has just emailed across will attach OK

Regards
Rob

Looks like it should be ridden by a big daddy.

I'm still waiting for the HDT JP8 diesel bike to hit the civvy market. Its a klr650 basid offroader with a 600 diesel motor that makes similar power to the 650 but gets over 100mpg.

I always hear about various militaries using diesel bikes so they can use the same fuel for all their vehicles. Is that true and if so, is there a chance of picking them up as surplus or are they usually run into the ground to the point where they can't be sold as more than scrap?

royal enfield used to do a diesel bike that did 200mpg! but it only just pushed out the power of a wet fart! think it managed to do 40mph on a good downhill run!

Nothing to do with the thread, but I used to go to school in Hamm, back in the sixties.

My Dad's at a meeting down south at the moment, some 3 day conference thing, he works in fleet and he's just this minute texted me saying he's got pictures and some details of a diesel motorcycle that'll do 100mpg he's seen at the show there.

I'll upload pictures and details when he's home tomorrow if I don't forget!

The bike in question, was an Ovik Special Vehicle. The Track T800 CDi. I believe made by a Dutch company named EVA.

Got a stat sheet infront of me so bear with,

The pictures here are taken from my dads mobile phone camera so may not be too great, we'll see.

If a factory had the nuts to design a diesel bike I'm sure they could make summat beautiful.

I'm waiting for a turbo diesel Pan European or the like.
