I just caught the last 10 minutes of American Chopper and they made a Diesel one. The exhaust were near the front (stupid) and shit loads of smoke would come out and they thought it was awesome. The thing sounded like a truck! but had a cool Turbo sound

Are there any other diesel bikes? Why don't they make them? (not that I'd buy one Laughing)

Eh? You do know these bikes aren't made to be ridden? Wink

Have a google for 'diesel KLR', or search for diesel bike on here - various ones have been talked about quite a lot.

They are heavy, more torque, less revs so nowhere near useful on the road unless it is in a chopper and you are not planning on going very fast and you want to make some noise.

Polaris make a diesel quad, the torque on it's unreal, almost unusable if you cane it!

Handy for running on red though.
