Video of Triumph's 600cc triple turbocharged diesel motorcycle.

It produces ~40 bhp and can cruise at 100mph, draining fuel at about 110mpg. The top speed is limited due to the gearing and the low revving nature of diesel engines (@5000rpm). But, with the right gearing the top speed can be increased to 145mph with an increase in fuel consumption towards 90mpg.

A treat for Mark when he uses his Masda RX7 at the traffic lights blast off

Standing quarter in about 7.8 seconds, but the Wankle engine (triple rotor) allows for smooth reving >15,000 to 18,000 rpm

Looks like I have time before declaring a winner. I was worried that I would not have Internet. I am on the banks of the BigSur River, surrounded by redwoods and willows, watching kids float by, rocking out to 40 years of my fab hits, when I noticed that my iPhone had wifi signal. No phone but there is Internet out here.
