10hp is more practical?

[Minacious]

I'm sorry, but there is no place for a diesel motorcycle.

dumbest idea since.. well, since the Enfield diesel... :P

Come on! I'm sure opening up to China was a worse idea. :wink:

Back on track...a Diesel bike is just plain shit. Why the fuck would anybody want such a thing?

[blinkmeat]

^cause they're cheap posers?

And why was the China thing such a bad idea - their mail order kids and brides make hella good party stories :wink: ?

Actually I was thinking about it's diesel consumption 1,7 l/100km :!: Quite good bike for really low budget.
It's nice retro bike.

Now I wonder how much it weighs?

could make for interesting* handling :shock:





*not in a good way

[Wyclef]

Now I wonder how much it weighs?

I think it was about 170-180kg, but I´m not sure :oops:

I know you all love diesel bikes, so enjoy it :lol:

[iraghava]

You gotta be shitting me! :shock:

I am assuming you guys have never heard or seen a Diesel Enfield on the road. It used to be sold in India more than a decade back and it was fucking horrible. It was louder than a 18 wheeler, created an absolute racket and was so slow a man riding a bicycle could win a race with it.

Just so you know the top speed was 65 kmh/40 mph and I think to reach that speed it took about 2 mins. And the vibrations from the engine were god awful. The handling well as we all know that Enfield's won't give much competition to even a 125cc learner bike leave alone modern superbikes and with the extra weight of the Diesel engine let's just say the handling was not really "intuitive"! As long as you are going in a straight line its tolerable but the moment there's a corner to take all hell breaks loose! And the weight was around 200 kgs., the petrol Enfield weighs around 168 Kgs. dry.

Somebody asked about gas mileage and this was the only positive point about the bike as it was in the region of around 65 km/litre of diesel.

If I was to chose between riding an Diesel Enfield & walking home, I would walk home everytime :lol:

Well there we have it chaps, first hand experience by the sounds of it. I think if I was going to have a classic styled bike I'd just buy a new Kawa W650 or one of the retro styled triumphs!
