Dutch diesel bike

At last weeks travelmaniacs weekend in Leersum, Holland. I had the opportunity to ride this bike for about 10 minutes. Great thing. It looks very nice (in my humble opinion). You probably have to get used to the sound, especially the whistling of the turbo is a bit weird on a bike. but the ride is very smooth and easy. It doesn’t have a manual clutch and it does 900 kilometers on a 20 liter diesel tank. Also I think its fast enough for road use. Haven’t tried it off-road but the videos on the Dutch website look promising. If not for the price (17500 euro) this has the potential to become the ideal travel bike.


E.V.A. Products in dutch but with nice video and pics
