Diesel Tiger...?

[sean]

sounds like a ducati...........

[fatowl]

If I remember rightly, the Enfield diesel develops a heady 17hp. Puts it firmly in the CG125 performance bracket I would think....

good lord that Tiger is noisy !

Wasn't looking but stumbled on this and thought of this thread,
I dont what the general consensus will be but I like it being made by a Dutch engineer (he need a IT engineer though the vids dont seem to work)


A claimed top speed of 175KMh and 200 Kilo dry weight
€17500 T-800 CDI 3 cylinder Diesel

I had to download the vids to get them to play. Though it has to be said, they're not great.

You'd have to cover a lot of miles to recover the cost of the bike.

I think the main problem with the Diesel engine fitted to a bike is it has to be heavy to withstand the high compression this in turn requires a different gear ratio thereby reducing the top speed.

[sean]

if they could fit a diesel to somthing like a pan (that doesnt weave obviously) with a top speed say of 130mph - I would buy one!

I know Zanx - the chap with the diesel bike, if he thought he could get a diesel tiger he would leap at the chance, mad as a box of frogs (good bloke though!)

[Snaphappy]

You'd have to cover a lot of miles to recover the cost of the bike.

I suppose if he could have a guaranteed sell of 10,000 bikes that price would be halved, but it will remain a one off unless he gets a good military deal
