This here’s the HDT M1030-M2 670cc JP8, but don’t let the charming name deceive you, this military-grade motorcycle is as tough as old boots. Boasting a (patent pending) “heavy fuel” engine capable of running on Diesel, Biofuel, Aviation fuel and four other military grades of petroleum, it can traverse water 2ft deep and has a tank range of over 300 miles. Its single, four-stroke cylinder will reach 95mph in the heat of combat, and at 33bhp it’s even suitable for restricted licence holders. Despite a price tag of $18,500 there’s already a significant waiting list of survivalists, mercenaries and prospectors hoping to get their hands on its high tensile steel frame. Hayes Diversified Technologies Inc. claim the M1030 is a “breakthrough in military ground vehicle technology”, one that comes decorated in Desert Tan, Military Green or Black.
Old hat. The yanks have been using diesel/avgas versions of the kawasaki 650 for years. Its just bringing the bikes in line with the common fuel policy. Strangely enough we could have had this years ago through kawasaki but the MOD opted for honda CR250 and 500's for some daft reason.
I didn't mean the bike, that is all new but the technology has been around ages, it all back handers and old boy network where procurement is concerned.
Nope Shell, not rode the diesel Kwacker but did once ride an Enfield Robin with a diesel lawnmower engine. It was slow. Fun though in a quirky way. Like forecourt peeps informing you that you filled with diesel.
