    Read over the weekend that the US army has ordered a batch of diesel Kawasaki dirt bikes.
    Anybody know any details?

    Wasn’t there an Indian Enfield fitted with a diesel engine on sale for a while?

    I kinda like the idea!! HELP!!

    The Enfield was called a Robin

    I started off as a young engineer working for Lucas Diesel and as well as the racing trucks they had a Robin in the R&D building. I rode it once. It had all the go of a CX500 with a plug lead missing towing a caravan and sounded like a cement mixer. Thanks for reminding me of that Radar!

    There is a diesel sports bike with a VW lupo engine that looks and probably goes better then the Robin.

    I don’t know about you but I ride a bike as a cure for the diesel car I drive all week!

    Lupo engined one is suprisingly well done:

    The diesel streetfighter just looks very funny and very scary:
