ThunderStar TDI Motorcycle

ThunderStar 1200 TDI - diesel motorcycleWe've been saying it for years, the future of vehicles is likely not hybrid, it's TDI - Turbo Direct Injection Diesel. Thunderstar seems to agree, having just developed a three-cylinder, 1200cc, TDI motorcycle. Weighing in at 455 lbs, ready to roll, it produces 90hp and 150 ftlbs of torque in stock trim. Add a performance chip and horsepower climbs to 120 and torque increases to a pavement rippling 200 ft.lbs. The best part is the triple sips only one gallon of diesel fuel for every 150 miles of riding! Want to see it? pic 1 | pic 2 | pic 3 | pic 4 | pic 5 | pic 6 | pic 7 | pic 8 And it ain't bad looking either. But with 200 ftlbs of torque, you'd have to change rear tires more frequently than fill the 6-gallong tank. Here's to the future! [of tire development?]

Please drop this engine into an FJR-style sport tourer so my ass will fall off before I have to fill the tank.

'Been waiting for something like this since the 70's, and finally they introduce it, correctly to boot, with more than enough power and enough torque to pull a ski boat! With this, I can tell OPEC to go take a flying f___! Can't wait to see the sport tourer. How much does this guy want? I've still got my first born male...He needs to think "European Delivery Program".
