Diesel motorcycle 406cc's 10hp single cylinder. top speed 55mph. cvt trans. put together in 2011. The propane cylinder is used to help clean the exhaust lasts about 50 to 55 miles of driving but is not necessary to run. Cash only, no trades. $2500
Well at least it used them up so they didn't get put on a real bike!A shining example of the aphorism "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."
At least they used the ugliest parts they had: Buckhorn bars, K&Q seat,.
Well I may have come close to doing something that would fit this class years ago.It asks the question……For the love of God! Why????
Tommy Pollard built one that looked like that years ago.If you can't have a trike how about a diesel?

Honda interstate 500 runs and drives well. Honda trike starts but needs work been sitting for years. 50cc scooter needs battery and haven't mess with it. 700 for all. Cleaning the garage.
Once you've been hanging around this forum for awhile, you come to realise that the buckhorn bars and the K&Q seats are not universally hated.At least they used the ugliest parts they had: Buckhorn bars, K&Q seat,.
My brother builds small boats with kids in an "inner city" youth program. There is an electric boat completion and he found a guy who machines roller bearings into where bushings were for GM starter motors. The little boats they build go 10-13 mph with a single starting battery.Well I may have come close to doing something that would fit this class years ago.
I played with the idea of converting the XS650 sidecar outfit I rode to work to electric power. Plan was to use a starter off a diesel engine and have a few lead acid batteries in the sidecar. Only thing stopping me is I could not find a cheap and easy way to come up with a variable speed control for a DC motor. Would need a top speed of 55-60 mph and range would only have needed to be 5-10 miles as I only live a couple miles from work.
Now that I'm thinking about it again wonder if I could use one of the variable speed drives from a zero turn mower and let the electric motor run at a set speed?
