And another Diesel Bike

[Stuart]

Many thanks again to Ron for this, another rare and newly found bike
He says-
"It was built by a chap in the Ukraine. He stretched a Jawa 280 mm and then added a Czeck built 6 hp diesel (an engine name not recognizable to me) of 375 cc's. The engine was coupled to Dnepr MT-10 clutch/trans/rear wheel by way of a flywheel he machined himself. If my translation is correct, the engine develops full torque at 1500 rpm's. All this at the cost of approximately $500. And reportedly capable of 90 km./h."

G'day Stuart



Hay! That's a rather creative piece of work for the money he spent on it. I like the sporty twin system setup and the other little bit's n pieces he has come up with. Looks like he's done a good job mating up the gearbox to the engine by the pic's.




Cheers

This response is taking us back to 2007 but I thought we might want to add this to our Diesel Bike Trivia Quiz. The Ukrainian bike referenced in this thread is noteworthy in that it may be the only one in existence being powered by a 2 cycle diesel. Do we know of others?
