Introducing Die Moto, a custom-built performance diesel motorcycle capable of running on diesel, biodiesel, or straight vegetable oil (SVO) fuels.
Designed and fabricated at The Crucible by a team of environmentally conscious vehicle enthusiasts, engineers and artisans, the Die Moto is out to prove the viability of alternative fuel technology in performance vehicles.
As fuel efficiency and low emissions become increasingly important, diesel technology has responded with improved mileage and easy adaptation to biodiesel and SVO.
The team constructed Die Moto from a BMW motorcycle, replacing the motor with a high performance BMW automotive diesel engine only available in Europe.
Team leader Michael Sturtz, the Founder and Executive Director of The Crucible, has garnered considerable notoriety throughout the country for his wildly original synthesis of art and functionality in everything from vehicles to fire operas. The resulting motorcycle will be a motorized work of art—an automotive engine on a motorcycle chassis encased in a hand-crafted 3/4 aluminum fairing reminiscent of the GP racers, paying homage to the early pioneers of motorcycle daring.[/Quote]

I photographed this bike at Laguna Seca Moto GP this year. Still a gorgeous example of what you can do to a Kawasaki ZX-14
Well, that's all I had time for. Great show! We'll have a booth at Laguna Seca MotoGP on Turn 1. Looking forward to that already - July 2007!
Thanks to all the .org members that swung by!!
This show made me think I need to start getting some more bling-bling suff for the busa!
