I was speaking with an engineer friend today and he has built a 500cc, single cylinder, water cooled, 2 stroke diesel engine from scratch using only 3 proprietsry components.....the injectors, con rod and glowplug. He is a motorcyclist but his real interest is designing and building 2 stroke engines.

He wants to know if anybody is prepared to offer a rolling chassis or a complete (engineless bike) into which the engine could be fitted. He will happily set up the engine and allow somebody to use the bike as a rolling test bed. He will also be on hand to do mods etc to make it all work efficiently. A Midlands base would help I guess but is not essential.

The engine is a similar size to a Model 50, or heavyweight Matchless, B33 type singles.

You would have an opportunity to ride a unique one off special in the Real Classic mould,,,BUT without all the cost of building etc. I might even do a piece for RC based on it. You could be famous........with a small f of course.

So any takers????

Post on here with an email link or e-mail me on the link above.

That's awesome Bob!!!! As Sphere said "Photo's please"

If I lived in London mate I'd put my hand up, I think it was Dave who mentioned building a two stroke as well as myself.

The good thing with a 2-stroke diesel is the incredible torque and power from the engine, guess it would have a unique sound as well.

This is a must see!

I have put my name forward and would donate my 500cc petrol Enfield for the purpose.

No number of dieselbikes is 'enough'.........................

To my knowledge we have never seen a 2-Stroke diesel motorcycle before! So this might make history?

This example from somewhere in the Ukraine(I think?) is the only one I know of.

As you can see it is not my Engine it is Midlands Based he wants a rolling Chassis and someone to work with.
Dave is the Ideal candidate so good luck Dave.

Whatever became of this project?

[Diesel Dave]

Nowt,

I made an offer of a Bullet rolling chassis omplete with MOT and the offer of putting huge mileages on it.

Sadly it was never taken up.
