A diesel engine will be great on a bike. Hope some maker comes up with this.
The tech involved in modern diesel like the common rail direct injection is quite expensive, however with series production it cam be brought down.
A 500cc diesel with a turbo and common rail injection is easily capable of over 50bhp. Thats already 100bhp/ltr. And they'll produce enough torque to scare you.
