"An innovative custom-built biodiesel motorcycle has shattered the World Land Speed Record for diesel motorcycles at the BUB International Motorcycle Speed Trials at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, achieving a speed of 130.614 mph (210.203 km/h)."
Yes, another milestone passed for Diesel bikes. All concerned are to be congratulated

Applause to the ones who headed such a great achievement! Is this an indication BMW might have pricked there ears to the notion that interests are taking place with diesel powered bikes? Well fingers crossed I hope so.
BMW have some of the most outstanding technology in vehicles, both M/C and the four wheeled variety.
If anyone can build a reliable well presented diesel bike, BMW would be one of my picks. So come on BMW get behind a new trend.
Only time will tell!
Cheers
