Found this which amused me, bit far to go in getting rid of those pesky PD carbs though.
I like the ad hoc diesel badge as well. What style ;D

Square headlight in a round hole :o
The honda haters, my 2-stroke pals, or “h@#da” as it appears on their forum (swearing isn’t allowed), would say its an improvement on the original...

Looks like a washing machine!

Just class.

Love it. I wonder what MPG he gets. Deplorable headlamp though.

That engine reminds me of a washing machine.
Just needs a glass window and you could ride and wash your smalls at the same time.

Interesting, got any more pictures or details? I have a cb550k3 and a few diesel single pot motors, what is that one? Petter ac1? I cannot sure see clearly. Shame they had to chop the frame tubes....

Royal Enfield actually did one but never put it in production, saw one at a museum in Norfolk, Walshingham if memory seves

There is a military trail bike that's diesel powered, been around 10 years now, took quite a lot of development to get it to preform comparably to a 600cc kwak they used as the benchmark or so I recall reading. Anyone wonder why a diesel bike, 2 reasons, military just want to have 1 fuel type in use, logistically easier for them. The other reason for a diesel bike, even more economical that the cb550k3, 200km / gallon territory. When my commute was 20 miles each way that had some appeal, nowadays I commute nearer 2 miles and carry a fair payload of tools / material back and forth. Considerably lowers the appeal.

Royal Enfield have had a diesel in mass production for many years now. I have ridden a few in India, first one i rented, came with a starting handle >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70N8r1wFQaM >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRn7ejfJUVo

What about some of these weird death traps. COOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bik4NRjIbFg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bik4NRjIbFg) One of them looks just like a meat slicer for your legs. ;D

Some I love, others, no so much, I have reservations about the wisdom of under guarded primary belts or chains right by the riders foot or leg, especially if said rider is wearing jeans or joggers rather than leathers. I have worked around these small single pot diesels and seen how quick a loose bit of rope can get pulled into them and just how slow they are to stall / how much damage they can do. Love the massive German sidecar halfway through.
