diesels do shake a bit at idle/ lower RPM, but I don't suspect a single cylinder would be any worse than a China 2 stroke...
sound real cool if there were an exhaust brake to aid in engine braking.... Exhaust brake in Semi terms is the " jake brake " and is what makes the chattery exhaust sound as many Semi's slow down

Haven't seen one in a while but they used to make diesel model airplane engines. I had several. They were strong runners for their size with the only drawback being hard starting when cold. Wonder if they're still out there?

a diesel would be awesome for a bike. dunno where you would get one tho aside from designing it yourself.
crazy expensive, but would look and sound cool! Also 1.5" too big but there is always a way. (Contingent on hittin the lottery)

Wow.. I knew they weren't cheap but I thought they were under $1k... anyway, Hatz diesels were what I was thinking of, just couldn't think of the name at the time.. I remember dreaming about putting 1 in a go- kart I had 5-6 years ago.. but if you figure maintinance. diesels run forever and are more efficent
2 funny Matt. Got me wondering about this and I wont post links, but there are ways to convert a gas 4 smoke to diesel. Think I am gonna stick with propane conversion. Just so I can blow stuff and my self up cheaper, snork. (I am still looking for a small diesel though!)
I read a while back about diesel motorbikes. We have to ask eDJ. Any one seen him? been a while or have I just been missing his post's?

He really is a great "out side de box" thunker. That brake idea is awesome. If you see him Tom, ask why cats "don't know its not garbage" 2dang funny and eDJ made a Tshirt about it!
