thank you

Hello wolf_walker
Thank you.
What I am looking for is a diesel road motorcycle, not a dirt bike.
A world of difference on long drives.
Have a great day.

Dunno about the rest of you guys, but i couldnt resist showing respectful regards by signing their guestbook, being a lifetime motorcyle enthusiast..... telling em I'd travel 500 miles in any direction from my home at Bowling Green to test ride that amazing diesel machine.

Clattering engine racket sounds terrific....... enough to put any rumbling Harley 45 to shame say, pulling up next to one at traffic light.

And hell yes, it looks like a fine all purpose animal bike for on/off road use too.... with small modification such as raised fenders, Cerianni forks, pressurized variable Koni rear shocks and some semi-knobby tires. Swapping rear sprockets would be simple for raising/lowering gear ratios - say if you wanted to go more than 80mph over the road with "overdrive" sprocket or use the beast for competitive off road hill climb events will taller gear ratios instead. Knowing the Germans, they would probably make custom adaptations at buyer's request without hesitation.

But i guess everybody's concern is engine vibration transmitted through the frame..... that would be my only worry that might make the bike into a bone-rattler and kidney shaker.
