One by one all of the major car manufacturers are abandoning their diesel offerings because of the complexity of the engine controls and the chemical plant that must be installed in the exhaust system to try to tame the emissions to a level that gas cars easily meet. Reliably. And in the real world. Not just once in a while in the lab. I work as a mechanic at a Mercedes dealer. We build some of the most advanced diesel cars in the world. They are so unreliable for check engine lights that I would never recommend them to anyone. Way too complex. You think you can fit those trap oxidizers and chemistry sets onto a motorcycle?
