You are welcome, but booked to the snorers area

I think they could build one, but they don't want to.

They prefer to build bikes that need a rain mode cause of their unusable amount of power. Strange but true.

Correct me, if I'm wrong. This is a very nice find, of course. What do we have in the end? - They build diesel engines for boats - They have said they wanna show a dieselbike, back in 1932 - Nobody has ever seen it So it could be, that, they announced it, but for some reason it never enters the stage.

Good to hear Mike is still out there and dieselbiking!

Latest News on this site are from 2003! And it was their "MARKET DISCONTINUATION NOTICE".

Maybe this happens for some reason ...

to be concrete
This means from May 31 to June 2?

It's amazing how many different engines they must have build. There are many photos on the website. Photos! No renderings!
Is this the same Bernard Hooper that was an engineer at Norton-Villiers?

Supposedly there is someone up in scandinavia has converted an HD twin cam from a 1340 cc gas to a 950 cc diesel We are now concerned with dieselmotorcycles for more than 12 years. We heard several stories about conversions like this, but have seen no one. There were enough opportunities, but nobod...

Can't find that this is diesel related.
Cause it's more than 20 years old the development of the M1030M1 hasn't started yet in the UK at this time.

This is something that might be interesting ... if it is ever finished.

And we spread the news and talked about it more than two years ago, when some videos about the engine were posted.

I don't see something new since then.

When looking to the pictures I can't bring them together with the Text. "Paid attention to the detail ..." the seller said, but this looks more like a scrapyard challenge to me.

The E4000 seems to be the only source for this very rare Honda V2 Diesel Engine.
But it's a nice engine and I'd love another bike with it.

Would be much easier to find with a link or at least an item number.

Then use the car gearbox but get the drive from the second shaft in the box rather than from the diff output like other builds. What makes this possible is that all cars of this era started off mainly as 4 speed boxes and then as sales pressures went up they all competed by offering 5 speed options...

A Honda GD410 has only been used once, so far.
So there is not much info to find.

Call them. Three weeks ago they had a complete gearbox fox sale.
They are pretty busy and sometimes don't find the time to answer emails.

No breathalyser needed in germany. And no dayglo as well.

I wish you a safe and dry journey.

I don't know anything about this build.
But it looks like petrol engine to me.

Again: Thumbs up!

Very nice build! Let's hope this Punsun won't break!

It's always struck me that engineers in the 1950's could convert an existing bike to diesel; If it could be done then why not now? We have two converted machines back in the 1950s. Not more. Did you noticed the engines needed a mixture of Ether and Kerosene to start? Maybe nobody wants to deal with...

Probably best to produce a kit so the ppl could buy that to convert their Rocket 3's. Have you ever seen a Rocket rider on our rallys having an interest in diesel bikes? I haven't. The target group mostly uses and likes simple machines. I've seen riders of MZ, SR 500 or just the bullet coming back ...

What are the market possibilities in europe if we come up with a rocket3 like sports cruiser / tourer with similar dimentions, slightly lesser weight , euro 4 emissions ,about 28kmpl within 15-18k USD. What I have to say may not sound very friendly. Don't take it personally. As long as the bike loo...

There is something wrong with your link. But I think yo wanna show this pic.

It sounds like a diesel, but does not smoke like a diesel

It's nice bike, but it's NOT a Diesel!

Looks like a petrol powered "Lister D" and has a spark plug.
