Lots of styling borrowed from Ducati and MV Agusta.

Is there a reason that so few companies can make a naked bike without being nearly a perfect copy of the Monster?

What a waste! Here we have the largest builder in the world of TDI technology and all their doing is revienting the wheel to grab some market share. If I ran VW, that bike woiuld be sporting a TDI and not a L-twin mill.

Of corse not. What I think they should do if they are serious about buiding bikes is to use there considerable resources to develop a motorcycle specific TDI engine.

A diesel engine's compression ration is ~20 to 1 versus ~10 to 1 for gas. Engine braking would be huge. A slipper clutch would be required. The RPM's would be much lower. ~5-6k redline. Great idea for a cruiser, not sure if I like the idea for a sport bike. A 500cc TDI could have a massive amount of torque (think 75fp+) but still get 75+ MPG.

if thats the case then thats a good idea... but if its just a 1.6 with 125hp, thats just out of date w/ hp and displacement... you dont need a 1.6 motor to do that.

It's been done in prototype by those Thunderstar guys. It would be nice to find out if they ever plan to do anything with it. It seems all data stopped flowing about it a couple years ago.
