Kevin's question regarding Australian postal bikes

[Stuart]

Can anyone help Kevin here?

"Hi There,
Im in australia and the postal system uses a 400cc semi-auto gearbox to deliver the mail.
 
Im about to approach the makers Honda,to see if they would consider putting a diesel engine on it because it uses only half of what the petrol does.
 
Know of anyone who has tried this or what problems could be seen ? They are constantly changing gears to  deliver the mail,so Im wondering how this might effect the drivetrain,or CVT.
 
Thanks !
Kevin"

Hello

Never heard of a postie thats 400cc

I thought they were 105cc capacity, which is the Honda CT110

They do have no manual operated clutch though.

Just been trying to find any info on what Aussie Postie's use and found this line on a forum elsewhere:
"Ex postie bikes (Australia Post) CT110 (the biggest selling motorcycel in Australia).." And a shot..
Not sure where the 400cc come from? Maybe Kev could be more specific about what bike he's seen in use
