Same old thing! They state that the ORV people will get screwed but no real ideas on how to fix it. >> Stay informed about: Dirtbikes in the Sunday Times

I believe it was for sale at the time. It did not run through the auction any of the times I was there, but it sat there for many weeks. They must have been running it through at the daytime dealer sale? >> Stay informed about: Dirtbikes in the Sunday Times

Diesel is cheaper than gasoline here, about a dollar a liter. 800km with USD20! With my 1 liter compact car (it's a VW Gol, no, not missing the f, it is not golf, it's smaller), I spend about USD80 to drive 800km! Not to mention that a diesel motorcycle would be something exquisite, unique! I'd give an arm and a leg to have one, but since I'd also need the arm and the leg to ride one, I can't pay this price... -- Tiago >> Stay informed about: Dirtbikes in the Sunday Times

It can do 90mph (e.g. 144km/h) but to get 96mpg you'd have to slow down to 88km/h with is, umm rather boring. Between those famous 55 mph and the then top speed of 95 mph the mpg of my Volkswagen naturally aspirated diesel bus dropped from 28 mph down to a measly 16 mpg. But still, at these 88km/h you'd get a nice 800 km range from a 20l tank! Rowdy >> Stay informed about: Dirtbikes in the Sunday Times
