This brand of diesel bike pops up here each year like desert flowers in the spring. I once emailed the Mojave Desert company and never got a reply. A turbo diesel putter might be cool. But for this company: fug 'em if it lacks the courtesy to communicate with its potential customers (nothin' like a biker scorned, lol).

Good luck finding a market. Far that price no-one is going to buy it for the fuel mileage, it's just a novelty. I like diesels, and I like motorcycles, but I don't think I would have much interest in a diesel bike. Other than some single fuel military application, what's the point?

they have been making a diesel klr for the marines for 10 years or so...it is pretty hardcore. i have toyed with the idea of a custom conversion on mine, but my 300D won't give me enough time for any other projects.

Gotta love how they call the bike "made in usa".... betcha none of the parts originate here, just assembly. And for that kinda money gimme the brand new all-terrain Moto Guzzi 850 Stelvio instaed.
