@@conguero7264 motorcycle engines use counterbalancing shafts within the engine to minimize vibrations. Can't see why this can't be used for diesel motors as well. I might be wrong about that though.
That was one bewutiful, reasonable bike, well executed. And that is the reason it never became big. Reasonable does not sell in cars, it does even less so in motorcycles.
Bit of a shame that this didn't take off. But imagine if you had one - it would be kind of a trade-off: on the one hand you only have to visit a pump much less often than with a regular bike, but on the other hand you'd always have to explain to the clerk that yes, you're here with the motorbike, and yes, you're buying diesel. I guess the novelty of that wears off rather quickly. :p That said, I met a diesel bike (and its rider) once on the road, it was a Sommer. It looked cool and sounded hilarious. Sommer used to produce diesel bikes in small quantities, but had to stop production when Euro5 came around. It's still possible to get an old Enfield and have it retrofitted with a diesel engine, though.

1: You do need to pull the brake to start. 2: Recognition for the parts of my video's would be nice. 3: That noise from the shaft was from the shaft because the custom shaft i had made sits a little further in the housing.

I actually got to see one at a local BMW-Honda dealership. A wealthy friend of the dealer owner, had it shipped here to Spokane Wa. It had me salivating, as im a diesel dog ! Almost 100 mpg, adequate performance and it looked like it was built for the apocalypse! Traveling would be much cheaper, and the motor should last for 500,000 ! That same company also built a sport bike version, and testers said you could be in a tight, slow turn, and power up out of any gear, due to fantastic torque. Im 😢 the company didnt have success. I want 100 mpg !

Damm 900km on single tank a car with 60 litre tank can do 1000km if driven conservatively and you can carry some fuel cans and fill it up to full again this bike is amazing
Interesting concept, but I'm not so sure about the CVT. While, it does have benefits over traditional setups, especially when mated to a diesel, it takes away some levels of control, not to mention the large amount of engine braking this engine would offer (imagine it with an exhaust/jake brake!). Personally, I would prefer a dual range, six speed, clucthed arrangement, but that's just me!😄
Yep a dual range would be great on ADV bikes, we used to have a farmbike with it, or at least a creeper gear. Also I have 2 CVT quads which are awesome on the farm, better traction, smoother, and simple, but I think I'd still want a manual box on an ADV bike, it's just more fun.
Diesel is an OIL....petrol is a combustible liquid. Petrol is highly combustible and burns and corrodes engines in the long run. Diesel lubricates as it's an OIL and burns slowly. It LUBRICATES internal engine components and keeps the engine in good health. DIESEL burns much more slowly and finely and thats why it has more mileage. And anything that burns SLOWLY pollutes much LESS. Then why it's known to be polluted? Because.... Diesel can be made from used VEGETABLE OIL or any certain biodegradable materials. Because govt and suppliers cannot control this so they are hell bent on banning diesel. And forget about electric vehicles. Producing a battery creates more pollution than diesel engines polluting in their entire lifetime.
Diesel has more carbon than hydrogen it burns slower and pollution is worse. There's a lot more to combustion than specious reasoning would lead one to believe. Using ag products to make fuel is a huge waste of Inputs. Small diesels don't make a lot of sense and sound gay. Soot and fuel dilution are still a problem.
