Diesel Bike Conversion... Crazy but 110mpg's

Pretty crazy stuff but looks like a decent job of the conversion... Sounds like a sick Harley...

Kawasaki is the base for the Marines diesel enduro. F1 engineering is the prime vendor. http://www.f1engineering.com/diesel%20bike%20specs.html

I've already tried to buy one, they said all of there production capabilities plus some is spoken for by DOD.

I'll wait because Uncle Sam will pay to fix the bugs and when they are ready for civilian distribution it'll be good to go!

Sounds good for us long term even if you don't get a cool bike now =\

The suzuki is interesting, but I'm guessing they were showing it going 55 because thats as fast as she'll go=\ I did like the big pyro though

I think it is a Yanmar 10 or 11 HP motor or a yanmar clone from China. They are on ebay for about $500-$700

If you can get a Yanmar for that price I want 2! I have a generator powerhead I was going to run off the tractor pto and a trash pump I want to burn B-20 red fuel with. ( Yanmar is the 2cnd best diesel out there)
