That pretty much sums up everything that it's wrong with the industry. You guys seem to listen more to your competition rather than the potential customer base. Shame, that.

The first company that has the nuts to actually try and design on the basis of weight will make a big leap in it's market share.

I don`t think that is a fair criticism in this instance as a diesel bike is always going to be heavier than a petrol one. If a diesel bike can just match the weight of its petrol fuelled competitors that is an achievement in iteslf.
If ultimate lightness is your prime criteria then you are unlikely to find it with diesel power.

+1. And it looks nice...

Diesel Enfield Sommer promises 2 lts per 100kms on the Autobahn. 11PS and 180kg, I just wonder how it feels riding the Enfield on a German Autobahn...
