a company in holland makes a 3cyl diesel bike (same engine from the diesel smart cars (non us, because we think all diesels are loud and smelly aparently)) it looks like a BMW sport touring bike minus the engine shape. i would LOVE to be able to get my hands on one of them, but they have no plans to import them into the US
