That's correct.   The USMC has been converting Kawasaki KLR 650 to
diesel for years.  The main reason is that most of the big military
hardware runs on a fuel similar to kerosene or jet fuel (i.e. they
don't carry gasoline around with them).  The performance suffers a
bit, but the bike officially gets 96 mpg at a steady 55mph.

  The company that does the conversions is http://www.hdtusa.com/vehicles.php
