Here's a few pictures sent me by Peter who attended the Euro bike show.

Please excuse the large size

Too big I think

This fits a 1280x800 laptop, and 1280x1024 screens, should be fine for most usage.

interesting bike, changing that belt looks like a mouse trap.

Turbo Charged and shaft drive it appears to me.

I hear that the shaft drive off hondas can be found for good price. So many trikes being built that spare shaft drives are floating around all over the place driving the prices down

A lot of engineering gone into something that is unlikly to sell. Its got all the things I would not want in a diesel bike. Automatic, single sided swinging arm, lumpy tyres, spokes,tubes,comon rail, which means carring around a load of computer bits. For a sort of trails bike the sump looks a bit exposed.

I think the problem with shaft drives from petrol powered donor bikes is modifying them to suit the relatively low rpm of readily available diesel engines. Otherwise picking a Guzzi V35 or Honda CX would be a more sensible choice than Enfield.

no where near a trials bike in design. More of a dual sport bike. Did not catch that it was an automatic CVT drive

Wonder if they went that route to compete for military contracts. Right now HDT has no competition.

found this old thread on another board about this bike.

More pics in This thread It was not till I saw the linked thread did I realize the pics posted here are of two different bikes. One is a complete bike and other is a skeleton of the bike.

Is that Yochen Sommer I spy in the background?

Hi Dave,

yes, you are right. It's Jochen in the background.

Well presented bike. As Stuart knows the only pick at the bike was the exhaust, wouldn't it have been better to place a motorcycle oriented exhaust to the rear of the bike similar to a conventional bike.

The exhaust would never pass over here.
