Diesel bike

AVL have issued a feasability study in which they examine the possibility of producing a Diesel Motorcycle. They have proposed a 3 Cylinder 1330cc diesel bike complete with turbo and intercooler. This bike will out perform All Japanese bikes in its class over 0-60mph and roll on acceleration through the mid range. Anyone who has experience the kind of superior roll-on acceleration a diesel engine can give (example VW Golf TDI) will have some idea of what a motorcycle fitted with one of these engines will go like. It promises to be a mouth watering prospect, that's for sure. Power to weight ratios always give bikes the edge and a machine fitted with this power plant is sure to give bikers a mid-range torque they've never experience before.nd with an MPG figure (as yet unknown) to most probably die for, we predict any bike fitted with one of these engines will become a firm favourite, at least in the U.K. where the fuel prices are so high.This website has posted DVD video of home produced Common Rail Diesel Bikes to most of the Japanese R & D establishments. We can only hope they take the hint and start building them soon.

British Enfield builds a diesel powered bike in India for the Indian market. They use small Robin diesel motor, 10 or 15 hp. It can hardly out run the diesel fumes.
