214 MPG, and that's with a 125cc gas engine. Given the significant improvement from just aero and gearing mods, I'd expect similar improvement on a diesel... and this would be a way to fix the speed issues, too. (And, most diesel bike builds have far worse aero than that Honda had to begin with.)
Not a diesel, but an interesting idea for a diesel build...

That guy makes recumbent (tri)cycles for a living, and they have a waiting list that has stretched so far that they no longer give out due dates on your order, just that it will take over 2 years. DIY doesn't do this much justice
