    You can get a Royal Enfield diesel. They sell them on e-bay for about £3400 & 10bhp
    If I was going to ride something with a diesel engine I would want something with a bit more power/torque.

    The army messed with a diesel KLR 650 years ago, i had a bit to do with it, and it was rubbish........although i did say at the time, as soon as they link teeeeeny weeny turbos with twin cylinders they will make a decent bike engine for a tourer.....

    The idea is good if you want to go for hours without a stop, but you would kill your bum by doing this.....

    Like Kev said I would want something with a little more Umph than what they are giving...

    There is actually a diesel motorcycle rally every year.

    A loyal bunch of enthusiast meet mainly on home made bikes

    It's only a little 1700cc.
    After all as they say 'there is no replacement for displacement'
