I remember about 30 years ago, I would see BMW's with Porsche pushrod 4 cylinder engines and at a Porsche dealer, They had a BMW with a SOHC Porsche Carrera 4 cylinder racing engine installed. With premium 100 octane at $0.35 to $0.40 a gallon...... WHO CARED WHAT YOUR MPG WAS!!!

Putting car engines in a motorcycle frame has always been a fun exercise. The "Munch Mammut" (around 1980) used a small 4-cylinder in-line car engine. It was a bit of a pig and was unsuccessful.
Until BMW made the 900 and 1000 cc twins (not to mention the K-bikes), sidecar drivers often took a /2 frame and built a VW engine into it to get enough power for their chair. You could even buy a kit; it was almost easy to do and I saw a few that were really nicely done. It was amazing to see how well the VW block fit into the BMW frame. A guy I knew even had a solo BMW with a VW engine. Also good for keeping your feet warm. After-market folks have experimented with turbo-charging and fuel-injecting the older BMW twins but I've never seen a diesel version, not even from the Ural or the [Chinese] factories. Weight has always been a problem with adapting a diesel for motorcycles. Perhaps the VW tdi engines are light enough.

I have seen a couple of the little mercedes smart diesel blocks for sale in the last few months. Might be a good engine for a heavy bike. they are 8-900 cc perhaps? Have never examined one personally though. Also know absolutly nothing about them but the size and weight perhaps has potential.
