    Diesel Lovers Unite. Turbo Diesel Motorcycle.




    http://www.neander-motors.com/motorbike/en/index.php

    100 hp, twin cylinder turbo electronically controlled diesel with two contra rotating crankshafts and two rods per piston.
    1400 ccs and the ugliest engine ever built :D Bike looks tough though..

    I'd like a ride. Might be the only thing that would out torque a harley :D

            Interesting. Not sure why you'd bother with such a bizaro engine design though?

              Any gingerbeer want to explain the merits of that dual crank system other than the piston side loading thing they mentioned & the balance from the counter-rotation?

              Wouldn't normal piston skirts & balance shafts have been cheaper & have done the same job?

                Already PLENTY of things which out torque Harleys, and aren't as ugly or weird as that...

                For example, suzuki GSX1400, 1400cc, 92 ft/lb at 500rpm (73 ft/lb at 2000rpm!) and 106hp, where the 1550cc twin cam 95 in the harley fatboy delivers a whopping 87ft/lb at 4000 rpm and would be lucky to make 90hp...
                Kawasaki ZX-14 has 72 ft/lb at 2000rpm, feeding on to 113 ft/lb higher up and 187-197hp....

                Big twins don't have the mortgage on torque, nor does a torquey motor have to be a gutless 5500rpm limited slow revving pig. Unless you specifically also need something which doesn't stop or handle, with a riding position analogous to a lounge chair...

                But hey, if you were even remotely worried about the power you wouldn't buy a harley. I think they should just install a sophisticated sound emulation system in them and an electric motor buried in the cases....


                This kraut diesel thing - if its like most diesel cars it would be utterly mirthless to ride...
                I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, and from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip-malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moments lost in time; gone like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die.

                  I dunno, one of the most amusing things I've ever driven was the old mans turbodiesel Landcruiser, get a fullsik sweed behind you with all his windows down and his music doofing... and bury the right foot leaving him in the biggest black cloud you'd ever seen
