As much as I like the diesel conversions on motorbikes, you make me come to the conclusion that it is a lot of involvement / hassle for basically regular 125 cc performance, be it acceleration, FE or top speed and even purchase price.

I have checked on the dieselbike.net forum because I thought there was more potential in dieselizing a bike engine.
The answer is basically no from the narrow minded engineers from automotive and yes for the dreamers.
