Diesel overlander - oh yes. As you say, EUR17,500 is quite a bit - but not absurd given that it's still basically in prototype.
I see to remember that Kawasaki were making a diesel version of the KLR650 that was being tested by the US military. I've never heard of them becoming available for general purchase, but I bet you could but the same engine that it has easily enough - and KLR650s are hardly rare. Okay, so it's outwith my level of home spannering, but I reckon and enthusuast could build a copy of the diesel KLR for not very much. Imagine - 1000km range!
Interesting the see that they've also developed a 2wd system for the LC8 - http://www.2wd.nl/
Cheers - Andy
