Originally the purposed civilian release date was for 2006 but it looks like 2010 is the projected date now. If you want to get 110 miles per gallon and up with a 670cc motorcycle then you just have to check this out.

An adjustable seat? Longer frame for cruising but short enough to be nimble on the twisty turnies. Overall it has to be comfortable from the get go but also have plenty OF get go and with good mileage. I think today's cruisers could be a little better on the fuel mileage side of things.WooleyBuggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15731631725262074662noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261369.post-45350621606140181302009-11-16T15:38:00.000-08:002009-11-16T16:21:28.430-08:00Diesel Powered MotorcycleAs if you have not guessed already, I like motorcycles. While I was doing research on, and looking for, different styles and types of small engines for a bike/motorcycle I wondered again about Diesel powered units.
