Custom 1987 Suzuki gs750 frame with 418cc Yanmar Intercooled Turbo Diesel Engine. Automatic CVT Transmission. Top speed of 70mph while maintaining 140 to 150 mpg. It is a mechanical direct injection diesel so it can run on bio diesel, vegetable oil, mineral oil, used motor oil, etc. it will pretty much run off of any oil based fuels. Military theme with ammo cans as sattle bags. It has no electrical based components required to run, so in the worst case situation like an EMP strike, the bike would be completely unaffected. I would love to keep the bike, but my wife and I have our 3rd child on the way so we need the money for transportation that can fit all of us. I am asking $7800 negotiable. Or will consider trades for Honda Odyesse, Toyoya Sienna, or Nissan Quest. For more information please contact Sam at 678-221-6977

Here is a link to a YouTube video of the bike

This is a responce on his youtube vid that eludes to that
youtube wrote:I'm not sure how a split pulse manifold works, but I do believe that the large air displacement that the intercooler and ducting provides between the turbo and intake manifold helps reduce the buffeting and psi drop when the intake valve opens. At an idle the boost gauge needle barely fluctuates at all. I think the guys that are not running an intercooler with their turbo on a single cylinder have issues with boost dropping off or even going into vacuum when the intake valve opens.
