Cypress Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't know about you guys but I would totally rock this bike. Hell, it has 45hp, that's a little under what I pushin' now but, it would save me a shit load in gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAlienJ Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) What's the engine made of? In cars diesels are cast iron blocks and not aluminum like a gasoline engine. That will make a big difference with regard to weight. Edited June 18, 2009 by SirAlienJ speeeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make a big difference with regard to weight.just from looking at it you can tell it is an aluminum block, most of the next gen diesels being released have a reinforced aluminum block. check out the new line of mercedes cdi and bmw diesel engines.

Cypress Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Its cool but I don't ride a motorcycle worrying about my mpg. Did you read the stats? It's still a good bike...not like your 1000 but it'll go. Of coarse, years from now bike like these will be just as fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) The KLR 650 Multi fuel bike has existed for a few years but is military use only. Why? Well production limits are one reason, price is another ($17,000 estimated two years ago), but lack of big bike manufacturers willing to bite is the biggest reason. None of the big bike manufacturers are intersted. Sucks too because the military diesel is reported to get 110mpg, have rediculous torque and a 100+mph top speed combined with the stock 5.5gallon fuel tank. Can you go 500+ miles without stopping for something other than fuel? The two reasons I would not get one is price and availability of parts. All parts are special made and in limited quanities. I assume the military gets first dibs. Edited June 18, 2009 by buildit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 That swingarm looks anemic though. Especially for that much stump-pulling torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
