There’s 3 main reasons why companies don’t make diesel motorcycles. 1 They are heavier, 2 the heavier crankshaft and long powerstroke generates more gyroscopic thrust making them harder to lean into curves, and 3 the longer power stroke generates more vibration. But I would still love to own one ☝️

Would make a great apocalypse bike as you could run it on veg oil and such as well as diesel plus diesel does not go bad so quickly like gasoline. I bet that would respond well to turbocharging as its around 600cc and there are a lot of kei cars that are around that CC so could probably find a cheap correctly sized turbo to fit.

I found an almost new 2001 regular version in 2021. While I can't burn jet fuel I must say Kawasaki got this bike right back in 1984. Tough as nails and will do almost anything a rider could want. The diesel version seems to be a study of frustration. Parts scarcity isn't the worst part, there is no maintenance manual on that version.

@@gamtax If it's left for too long in a warm storage tank, it can grow mold. Conversely, if it is stored at temperatures that are too cold, it could thicken and become difficult to dispense. Biodiesel's high lubricity can create deposits in fuel lines, which in turn clogs filters and can lead to problems caused by poor fuel delivery. (I just asked google the question and got this answer).

I think the price may include the R&D costs amortized across a very small production run? The cost for each additional unit might be far cheaper. Also, military goods (especially in the US) involve a lot of things that aren't that important for civilian usage. It probably needed to pass very specific tests for breakdowns, for instance, and be repairable with a certain minimal set of standard tools and skills that the military can guarantee all military mechanics will have on hand. They may have special requirements for recyclability, or American-sourced parts that are much more expensive than buying the part from China. It might also have dimension limits that are design difficulties, as the military will have military-standard shipping cases and military-standard cyclist size, require military-standardized freight dimensions and so on, where commonly-available civilian parts may be in most ways better but simply can't be used as laws state the pannier must be 2mm deeper or something. Civilians can simply be told, you're too small or too large for this model, get a different model, but in the military there is just the one model and it has to be operable by a specified range of soldiers. They probably require all military purchases to use inch-sized tools not metric. Looking at any given single program, such limits seem ridiculous, but when you consider that the US military, at least, has to deploy EVERYWHERE (NO wars on our own continent for 150 years) and the need to keep the logistics as simple and compatible as possible, it's the only way. You have to have just one fuel, as the narrator points out, just one set of tools, just one
