Now lets make it deisel in frame and mount some ZTL's Yeah, mount one in a Uly frame! I can't understand why there haven't been production diesel bikes here in the US before. I know the Royal Enfield dealer locally had a diesel version on their showroom floor for a while. I once asked about it and they said it could only be sold for off-road use. |

l work on diesels. These small ones can shake the color out of your eyes. New electronic tech is starting to make them smoother. l hope it succeeds. 75 MPG with all that torque and HP sounds too good to be true. But, l'll bet you get funny looks when you pull up to the pumps at the truck stop. |
