Die Moto Biodiesel Race Bike

[oilburner]

I apologize if this has already been posted.

A biofueled diesel race bike has been tested to 121 mph and is headed to Bonneville in 2007. The bike uses BMW drivetrain components.

Pic of the bike and details at:

There are several videos of the bike in action on YouTube at:

BTW the gearboxes and final drives of late model BMWs have tall gearing which makes them very suitable for use with diesel engines.

Yep, looks like maybe the first bike to run with a common rail engine on the Salt Flats. Talking of which...
Richard posted this at the end of the KLR thread. I'll repost incase anyone missed it. Looks promising...
