That is pretty cool. Would love to see it in action with both wheel turning power and adding a reverse gear.

Yeah its definitely cool imagine the range on that badboy! Closest thing you'll get to the JP8 powered Marines KLR

Sorry for thread jack but I also thought this bike was cool too. Custom bike built around a Diesel engine from a smart car. Lots of cool one off diesel bikes out there, wish there was a cool production version available. Even the diesel KLR that was supposed to come out years ago.

My phone won't let me upload photo. Will try later.

Wow cool. Yeah it kind of makes you wonder this might have use extending the range of motorcycles you won't have to carry as much fuel onboard to offset the weight of the engine. Or just long distances with a huge tank. In a Mad Max world this'd be the ideal bike haha. Diesel engines are very tough also. All it needs is engine guards and it ready for off road duty.

Some more info here, it was built as and adventure bike and it has a CVT drivetrain and they say its slow.
