Hello,

I am currently between motorcycles (wife says I have to pay off the car before I can buy one, but that happens this winter).

I was glad to see someone is making a diesel bike, but wish it was the manufacturer and not some company making the modification.

My dream bike would be a recumbent (feet-first) with enough ground clearance to not be afraid of speed bumps and such. It would also be a diesel hybrid with variable ride height (for lowering on the highway).

With either hydraulic and pneumatic shocks, I am not sure why this is not standard on all vehicles. Go fast, go low; slow down, raise up.

But, in reality, I am starting to think of a smaller, dual sport bike than the larger cruiser I as originally thinking of (larger as 750 to 1100 ccs, not 1400 to 2.3 liters).

Seems the dual sports seem to get better gas mileage and they are more useful (aren't afraid when the road ends).
