    Talking 1200cc (120bhp) ThunderStar *deisel* sportbike!

    The image of the bike itself...


    The article this all came from...
    http://thekneeslider.com/archives/20...-by-star-twin/

    Here's a larger article on the bike... but only if you read German
    http://www.startwin.com/pagina/bikes...r/mo_groot.jpg

    And a few specs below to save downloading the big jpg above... I can't figure out how to attach images in-line.

    Not the best looking bike i have ever seen but what a novelty factor. Would love to have a listen and a ride.

    We've had this one a couple of times - I'd love a bike with a ''Jake brake'' They are a pretty powerful brake - I remember as a young fulla in a short wheelbase cabover Kenworth tractor unit with a loaded trailer on a ringfeeder behind....I had the Jacobs Brake on and as I had the clutch out it just stalled the motor as I was on a lowspeed downhill in the wet.I was just in the yard,but I shit myself and just saved the jackknife

    Love to hear what it sounds like.

    Think a diesel bike will attract RUC (Road User Charges)?
    Wonder what rate they'll be charged at. Might make it uneconomical to run.

    Can just image an FXR150 on diesel. Economy of 36km/l with RUC at 3c/km.
    It'll then cost $0.93 + RUC$1.08 = $2.01, but a petrol edition costs $1.30 for the same distance

    But then again, it could run on Fish 'N Chips oil
    Anybody running a diesel on this stuff?
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    I hope they aren't going to be too expensive.

    I would rather have one than a GSXR...

    250 ft/lb is LOTS of torque...
