This amazing machine got around 65-70 miles per gallon at 75mph in the Black Hills of South Dakota when it hit the road for the first time!!!  Jeff finished building this motorcycle in the summer of 2004, just in time to bring it to the annual  motorcycle rally in Sturgis SD.  It performed perfectly!!  He took it on several rides through the steep, Black Hills and was very pleased with it's performance. It got excellent mileage and had plenty of power to ride up the steep grades.

This bike has been featured in Diesel Progress, (an industry specific diesel magazine) Cycle World magazine, Brit Chopper magazine and on The Kneeslider.com.  It turns heads everywhere it goes and ALWAYS has crowds of curious people gathering around anytime it pulls into a parking lot or motorcycle show.

With no end in sight of the rising gas prices, this motorcycle, with it's diesel engine and hydrostatic drive system is an excellent alternative to run of the mill, "normal" motorcycles and gas guzzling, inefficient  automobiles.

This motorcycle is very FUN and EASY to drive!!  Within just a few minutes of being on this motorcycle, anyone with previous riding experience will have the feel for it..... It's extremely addicting to ride!!!

 

Our DVD is now COMPLETE!!!

We have put together a DVD that explains how we designed and built this motorcycle. It gives a list of the components we used along with part numbers and it explains how this hydrostatic system works and the advantages it has over other drive systems.  We also have the major components taken apart to give a look at what is actually happening inside the hydrostatic pump and drive motor while the motorcycle is driving on the road.  This DVD is FULL of information!!!  It should give anybody who isn't familiar with hydrostatic systems a good idea of how they work!! The principles of the hydrostatic drive system explained on this DVD could easily be applied to other types of vehicles.
