Diesel Superbike

And it's not a KLR or military bike! Pretty cool, just found it on gizmag.com while reading about another bike.



It is common rail design, turbocharged, intercooled!

that's an insane crank and rod setup... I suppose it will stabilze a long stroke with a short rod, and prevent the cylinders and pistons from getting out of round.



OR, just allow for some crazy lightweight rods and crank but just doubleing them of on each side to spread out the load?

How about that 700 hp Suzuki Hayabusa??? :--) I thought my CBR was fast, geez. There's a link to the Busa on the left side of the screen

Myself I'm waiting for that diesel KLR to be released and I'm going to mount hardbags, a small windshield, wire it for electric heated clothing, and put studs in the tires in winter and have a year round 102 mpg commuter.

Geez Steve, I wanted to pretend I found it and posted it on here first!



Thanks!
