fw[2]: : klr kubota diesel

[RobertWichert]

Well, unless turbocharged, this thing would have to be four cylinders, I think. Do you have any engine specs at all? It seems way over what I would expect from a 650 diesel. And 120 MPG? Somebody is dreaming. Maybe 120 km/gallon, but even that is too high if it's got 90 HP. Robert Wichert P.Eng.

I haven't checked it out but admit that I'd like to play with one. The extra 40 pounds would be nasty on a KLR or any bike but as a toy.... Subject: : Klr Kubota Diesel Electric vs coal is interesting but I like this better. The diesel adds 40lbs heavier, 90 hp, 120 miles to the gallon and has a 6 speed transmission and is being built in BC.
