If you don't want to lie about your own product, well then, just lie about the product you're comparing it to. :lol:

Yeah, it's VERY hard to see a decent reason of that placement, underseat is the obvious place with maybe a big ugly Kevlar crash protector over that very expensive engine . It's a Smart diesel isn't it?

Ross, who makes that one. I am out of the loop, as I don't follow current offerings. I find diesel motorcycles interesting, as they promise some things that I like.

The Track T-800CDI is being produced by E.V.A. Products BV Holland and uses the 800cc three cylinder Daimler Chrysler diesel engine used in the smart fortwo diesel, military UAVs and marine applications, matching it with a CVT, frame, driveshaft, running gear and ECU produced in-house. The engine uses a turbocharged intercooled Commonrail direct injection engine and produces a whopping 150Nm of torque. It comes with three pre-programmed ECU settings enabling it to be switched to run on 100% Pure Plant Oil (such as sunflower oil) or into a highly efficient but lower power diesel economy mode. E.V.A. CEO Erik Vegt describes the bike as a “BMW GS killer with KTM LC8 drivability and Suzuki Hayabusa-like torque.” “It’s the ultimate long distance and long life motorcycle that can run on diesel fuel or 100% pure plant oil,” says Vegt. http://www.gizmag.com/go/6493/
