Diesel Motorcycles
 
I was wondering today if there was such a thing. So I searched for it when I got home.

Once Jan. 2010 comes around all diesel engines sold in the U.S. must be US_10 NOx compliant. Not to mention it must already have a diesel particulate filter.

You won't see a diesel in the US on a bike unless the above emission requirements are not appllicalbe to under a certain CC. There is simply no room for the additional components.

My family owns a couple of diesel ATV's.
I don't see why it wouldn't be adaptable for motorcycles, though I'd expect it for something the size of touring bikes.

If they're the polaris diesel atv doesn't it take two batteries?

Most of our Armed Forces are "single fuel services" so they (Army or Marines I think) developed a diesel KLR. It's heavy and slow and awkward, but it will push over a brick wall.

This one:

This is a 250...prolly under no regulation.

This is possible is they meet the NOx requirements, which most likely is going to result in an SCR system.
