Is it possible to produce a diesel bike in a compact model?(Yes)? |
As for the issue of making a compact model, as in a small engine model of say 200 cc, yes it could be done. Why it isnt done is a very good question... Diesels can be made in 2 stroke, in modern light materials and / or with turbos or even with lpg injections systems. Any or all of these could be incorporated in a small powerful and super efficient small motocycle. Even the Enfield 325 gets 200 mpg, so adding 20% each for turbo and LPG injectors ( conservative ) it should be easily possible to get 240 mpg ( about 100km/ litre) from one modern 325cc job, (..not to mention run it on cooking oil, with minor modifications...) All of this is without accounting for weight reduction of modern materials. Turbos and lpg injection would also each add about 20% power, and therefore performance. So it come back to the "why not" part, a suspicious mind ( ..like mine..) might say that many big oil interests dont want you to ride 1000 kms down the road on the smell of your mum's cooking. L.O.L Yes it is possible. But since the Diesel engine is way more heavier than gas engine+the usage of fuel in diesel engine is much higher, it would not be economical. Yes it is possible and one was made in India. The name was Royal Enfield Taurus. But the bike failed, firstly it was very heavy as compared to other bikes. But it was very efficient. |
