Mmmmmmmmm... greasebike...

Very clever engine design. Putting "Buy first production diesel bike" on my Powerball to-do list, to add to the 15 or 20 other bikes for the to be built toy barn. If it complies with current US diesel emissions standards with ULSD as a fuel, it should burn without any smoke or odor,
not that I mind the smell of diesel smoke...

Good stats:

The final configuration is a 1400cc, twin cam, four valve per cylinder, vertical twin turbo diesel with intercooling producing 100hp and 144 foot pounds of torque at 2600rpm. It looks nice without some of the bulky and clunky appearance you might expect when you hear the word diesel. Performance figures are quoted on their site as 0-60mph in approximately 4 seconds. Not bad for a cruiser and sure to improve as the engine is refined.
