IIRC, Royal Enfield is the company that makes a diesel motorcycle. Must be a bear to kick-start.

I've actually seen a RE Diesel and I believe they were only sold in India (I think it had glow plugs AND compression release but I don't know how that would work).
That said, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is harder to start than a BSA 441 that has "personality". There is a dent in the ceiling of my garage where my head hit after mine "kicked back". I have given serious thought to shooting it a few times.

IIRC, Royal Enfield is the company that makes a diesel motorcycle. Sadly, Royal Enfield's Taurus motorcycle, the diesel model, is now out of production. Rumor has it, however, that the US Marine Corps has field-tested a diesel version of the Kawasaki KLR.
