there was a commercial diesel engine bike that was launched in the 90's or 80's..just seen one,don't know the manufacturer..it went past and i thought that a tractor had passed..just turned my head to go

...diesel engines require a lot of money and r&d and turning them into bikes is not economically sound...also they require a lot of maintenance and pollute heavily..and apart, hardly produce any power compared to their weight...may be dats y no super car has diesel engine but suv's do coz of their torquey nature...
And not to forget the sweet massage that they would give to ur wrists...we cry for apache being so vibey,wonder wat wud u do regarding them

PS: there's no honda in the poll...
