Maybe it would go faster if it didn't have 13 fuel tanks strapped to it...

I think it is super cool. I would love to have a diesel engine in my sidecar rig.

ignatz72 · 01-16-2013, 10:31 AM

It's definitely nice work shoehorning all that into a BMW frame. But if it gets 83mpg, wouldn't the original tank get you over 400 miles?

Maybe the other tanks are for the bio-D.

With no saddlebags, it would seem to be relegated to city commuting or hack duties...

Why not put a diesel generator in the sidecar and convert the bike to electric?

And Yanmar is the Ultimate Tractor. I love that idea...

Thats actually pretty sweet and if it was a little closer and a lot cheaper, I'd be tempted..

BMW's motor design is based on an airplane engine, however earlier models of this motor had a flaw that was finally removed in the R75 model. Additionally, the R75 is known for reliability and endurance. This motorcycle has 19,000 original miles and would be quite a prize for a BMW enthusiast and the economy minded. I had planned to change the point system over to a Dyna III electronic ignition, which would give this motorcycle additional, power and fuel economy. However, there are some that are concerned with the possibility of an EMP from a solar flare or nuclear attack, in which case, you would be one of the few with a working vehicle since this motorcycle currently has not electronics to be effected.

You can pay cash or barter. I am interested in cnc milling machines, kwik switch tooling, possibly other tooling, lathe with large swing

I can't imagine what that thing feels like idling at a light. I have a Yanmar 3 cyl in my JD 955 and it shakes that 4000# tractor like a pitbull with a cat in it's mouth. Cool, but not as friendly as you might think.

The possibility of nuclear attack is exactly why I'm retrofitting all my vehicles to not have that darn electronic ignition...
