Shipping for the 20 hp diesel engine is about $180.00 to Detroit. With the cost of the engine, it comes to $1000.00.

Not cheap, but at 140 mpg, it might be less prohibitive than you estimated.

That still leaves us the need to graft it into a motorcycle frame. Check out the for sale section of dieselbikes.net for some running units.

Thanks,

Paul

I can buy a lot of gasoline for that price and my car gets 40MPG, so its not worth it.
