Ah, the soft farting of a diesel engine - in a motorcycle! Now that makes for some cool idling at a stop light!

The Powerstroke diesel in my old 1996 Ford had a "Happy Dance" sound idle that I kinda miss in my much quieter - but much faster - 2008 model.

The Cummins engine that Dodge used, when uncorked (as so many Dodges were for some bizare reason I'll never figure out) sound EXACTLY like a giant, just won the weiner slamming championship fart. Other than that, I don't see why they couldn't build a viable diesel ride. Yanmar has been building diesel outboards for many years.
