small turbo diesel?? what size engine are you talkin about??I wanted an FX bike real bad, but not for the price. Just build your own and use a small turbo diesel. That would be awesome.

your mother and I are still dissapointed in your lifestyle choices and habits but we still think of you as a reheaded half breed mexican stepchildYour gay but I still claim you as a friend..........
So, Rufus...what are you REALLY trying to say??? Don't hold back, man! :biggrin:It is the most pathetic sales pitch for the junk on wheels. It is absolutely pathetic.
Like a 2.5hp Yanmar with a mini turbo on it. I can't find a picture, but I'll keep looking. I had one spec'd for a motorcycle project a while back.small turbo diesel?? what size engine are you talkin about??
a small Volvo turbo would work on that i suppose. ive seen them on lawnmowers before, so i dont see it wouldnt work for a motorbikeLike a 2.5hp Yanmar with a mini turbo on it. I can't find a picture, but I'll keep looking. I had one spec'd for a motorcycle project a while back.
which are like fat chicks.....theyre fun to ride until someone sees you riding oneLooks like a souped up moped to me.
while not arguing for this particular instance, i think the concept of a machine in between motox and dh 2-wheelers has promise. electric power might be the answer to trail access issues for the motox crowd, and why not make it lighter once the design constraints of the gas engine are removed?You'd be chased off the DH trails, you'd be laughed off the moto track.
Where exactly does this bike fit in?
but how much would battery cells and motor weigh in order to get a decent range? especially compared to a gas or a small diesel like JimmyDean recommended.and why not make it lighter once the design constraints of the gas engine are removed?
That's the turbo, with blow off valve. I was talking about putting that on a single cylinder Yanmar or other diesel. They make small 2-3hp engines for one hand carry generators.thats the engine?? wheres the piston??
you found that on ebay right?
i was gonna say....that didnt look like no engine ive ever seen. im a moronThat's the turbo, with blow off valve. I was talking about putting that on a single cylinder Yanmar or other diesel. They make small 2-3hp engines for one hand carry generators.
better watch out then........one of those would be right up my alley.......no more pushing back to the top, just braaaaaaaap right back up & back downIf I'm ever on a trail and some dude on a motorized mtn bike is riding my ass I swear I'm gonna freaking lose it.
I have seen diesel based choppers that get 100mpg. Not the fastest things out there, but sure beat a scooteryeah, converting the gas into diesel isnt feasible really.
hell if theyre putting rotary engines in bikes now, why not diesels? they have their big advantages over gas
they must sound sick w/ their large exhaust pipes.I have seen diesel based choppers that get 100mpg. Not the fastest things out there, but sure beat a scooter
I am pretty sure I wont be on the same trail you are.....If I'm ever on a trail and some dude on a motorized mtn bike is riding my ass I swear I'm gonna freaking lose it.

My R1 gets about 38mpg. But it's the price you pay for 167bhp vs. a 3-5hp diesel. Kind of like comparing a Prius to a Vette.100mpg is a little above what bikes are getting nowadays isnt it?
