Factory Mass Produced Smoker???

Post by Calkins »

I'm very new to smokers, but they are growing on me. Mine is pretty darn fun!!!

So I have a question, other than HDT, who has built and sold diesel powered motor bikes in mass amounts, say like 500 plus units?

Yeah, nobody knows how many Enfield Taurus were produced in India.
Then we have approx 120 Enfield Robin.
Jochen Sommer produced around 300 of his 462 so far.
And the last number Bernhard told me about Dieselwiesel was 70 items, if I correctly remember.

Don't know how many Track T800cdi are allready on the road.

I think the Royal Enfield Taurus is what I want. I have read of two different engine in them, a Robin or a Lombardini? What is the likelyhood of finding one of these bikes in the states? Is there any good info on these bikes??

Well I have one... (but I am not in the states).

It is "powered" by a Indian Greeves-Lombardini copy with 325cc and has a max. power of about 6.5hp.

It's cool stuff, but very slow compared to your 10hp racing-diesel :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Justin,

You do find them here in the states. They occasionally show up on Ebay of Craigslist. A chap just down the road from me has a Greaves fired one. Doesn't ride it, but also doesn't want to part with it.
