They are still a little shy on hp but have a lot of torque as to be expected from a diesel.

This one (from article) should perform close to the SV.

The bike uses a turbo charged, direct injection engine, with intercooler. It produces at the moment approximately 70 bhp and 160 Nm (118 ft pound) of torque. We will increase the power and torque later this year to more than 100 bhp and between 200 to 250 Nm of torque. We decided to slowly increase the power output of the machine, so we can easily see what the effects are and because it’s an enormous amount of torque on the drive train of the machine. It has five speed gearbox and a dry slipper clutch.

After the recent talk about diesel in a bike. I thought about this old thread.:whore:

That thing's gotta kick up some serious heat. That's an insane amount of torque!!:yikes:

:iagree: It should defiantly rip some asphalt even if its speed is way down.

I'm a diesel nut myself and I'd pimp that thing! I love the smell of diesel!

All you gotta do is run biodiesel in that thing and you'll smeel like a fry cooker going down the track. :lol:

I'd pimp the hell out of that thing!!! I wonder what it sounds like...
