BMW go faster biodiesel motorcycle
Many of you have probably already seen the PopSci article about this bike. Built by the crazy folks at The Crucible, it is a one-off concept. Actually something I thought about doing with a VW 1.9 TDI engine. While it is cool that they are drawing attention to biodiesel in motorcycles, this is not a production bike and never will be. I am focusing my efforts on getting production bikes on the market. I already bought the ecorider and am working on getting a Neander. Also motorcycles with car engines do not perform very well as motorcycles. You will notice that the Crucible bike is a top speed straight line machine. That is because it turns like crap and the wide engine makes it ugly and hard to handle. I want a motorcycle that looks like a Vtwin and rides like a motorcycle. And is Biodiesel!
