Turbocharged Diesel Honda Motorcycle
This is a Bio-Diesel Motorcycle I've put together. It started life as a 1981 Honda CB650 Custom, now sports a turbocharged 954cc Ruggerini diesel twin running on Biodiesel, automatic with single speed centrifugal wood chipper clutch (Like my old Taco 22 Mini Bike. Best MPG to date has been 128mpg, best top speed to date @ 83mph. I'm sorry for using a cheap phone video, I'll get a better video soon. Thanks, Dave

Gonna tow something with that
SWEEEET.
That's cool as Hell, man.
This is really badass
i have an enfield diesel, was it hard to find the correct variomatic cluchts weights/springs? d you think you have the best set-up with it?
I bet it will pull faster then my 10 hp enfield..
how hard it would have been to use a more common engine..like a rabbit diesel..or not ..maybe the oil pan is too bulky..right??
I'd love to see better videos of this
How did you turbo it? Have you had heat management or reliability issues? Where did you buy the engine? I would like to buy parts and JetHot coat them, then crank some serious/moderate power out of it. The Ruggerini seems to be the best option since it has separate cylinders and copper gaskets. You can do a cylinder hone and put new rings in without dismantling the entire engine. Good choice if you plan to abuse/experiment with it. I'de reallly appreciate you getting back to me, thanks, Ben
Very cool! This belongs in the Horse B.C.!
Cool.
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Rock on!
