Coolest application of a 482 I have ever seen! The packaging is also brilliant. Many of these conversions are nightmares but this is entirely practical. I guess you'd be getting 15- 18 Hp ot of this with the turblo? I was going to use a 482 For a generator but wanted something bigger so it wouldn't have to work as hard. One of those little RB turbos might be the ticket. Awesome Build, well done!
Looks great Tim, you've done a great job on this one. Myself I do prefer the odd pot set up like 3 cylinders to maybe gain a bit more smoothness, if there is such a thing with diesels! Overall a great build, and thanks for sharing your creations with us 🙂👍
In India many own diesel bikes ...the sound is worth appreciating. Kinda vintage beats the diesel engines produce every stroke you can hear. And the clanking sound of teppit makes it more interesting.
The Honda CB250N Super Dream was manufactured between 1979 & 1983. It was a CB400N Super Dream, with a gutless underpowered 249cc engine installed into a heavy frame. At the time, it was the slowest 250cc bike sold in the UK & Europe. Known, in the UK, as the "Wet Dream", "Super Slug" & "Gutless Wonder". It had a 0 to 60 MPH time in excess of 20 seconds. On stock Honda FVQ rear suspension, it's like riding a water bed. Only good point was the engine was very reliable. Bike Magazine described the exhaust sound to be like a muffed fart.
Marvellous! Now there are these dams, you see, jolly hard to get at, well defended and deep inside enemy territory. Well we had this idea, rather wild, I know, but we were thinking, if perhaps you could somehow come up with something that sort of bounces along the water it just might do the trick.......
No diseas-el motorcycle has EVER (in 147 years) ben truly successful. WHY? Too much weight and complexity in the engine and FAR too little net HP output per liter. If Honda is getting 16 HP from 482cc of a NA diesel, they are treading on near miraculous ground! Typically, 20 HP per liter for a NA diesel for say a ship's bilge pump is considered "high performance" or for an Arrow Oil field pump-jack engine that would be exceptional performance. Arrow's produce about 6-8 HP per liter and weight over 1000 pounds and turn 450 RPM. The Russians or Yugoslavs built a "lightweight" high-speed diesel bike back in the late'80's -early '90's, a semi-dirt bike style intended for the military, but too heavy, too complex, too low performance (think BMW RS80 Dakar) but a 700-750 twin.

LOVE IT! We will need bikes like that shortly.
Mi amigo Mainitor el Pescador, gran motociclista me pasó este agradable video de esta motocicleta diésel
Well, it’s different. Good job.
Oh my gosh this is just the coolest. You ever sell them?
Ill love to have a Diesel motorcycle.

Is there much vibration through the seat , pegs and bars ?
Nice work and great MPG. I'm getting 34 mpg out of my Yamaha MT10!
Does that motorcycle was made with a diesel engine or you put a new one?
Brilliant engineering!
Wow you can see back in the day people had dreams and made them happen!
Awesome
Seen your listing on eBay
wow nice bike bro sending full support itsrichie channel
I like it!
I like the sound of that, well done mate does it run on chip diesel (home made diesel) I’ve always wanted a big diesel Harley well done 👍
Brill mate!
These are cb 250 N bike,s were were they manufactured

You said in the video it's quite happen at 65. Where you talking kph or mph?
Since he doesn't have any American accent, I guess it's kmph
Probably miles, since he used miles pr. galon..
@@noahwail2444 he didn’t use miles per gallon. He said “120 to the gallon”. That’s kilometers, for sure. About 75 miles to the gallon.
it's the UK so definitely miles
@@LESLASLESLAS Nope ... we NEVER use kilometers per gallon ... this is a UK gallon not an American gallon ... Google it.
Nice work
I want one.
Kubota z482?
Good on ya, chap
nice!
Obviously, it already has vastly increased performance over the original gutless petrol CB250N "Super Slug" engine.
The wet dream as we used to call it.
I will pass on lying on the tank with only my under pants on .
Couldn’t a Mercedes SMART 2go diesel be a good fit.

Sounds like a machine gun
🤨 - never seen a diesel motorbike, assumed they all were 2-stroke petrol - having small engines
Few new motorbikes are 2 stroke nowadays due to emissions. 4 stroke is almost universal. Even an old Honda 50 Cub was 4 stroke.
so you took a 100mph+ bike and made it go 70 lol come on wasnt worth it.
british language ;)
A bike that smokes, stinks and sounds like a bag of rocks? No thanks! 💣
How much
