Been scouring the web for happiness... it is hard to find lately....
But the Hero page is book marked - and it is the shining bright spot to the tempest in the tea pot.
Love their Impulse in Orange....
So any EBR news as to the 450 dirt motor migrating into that intent ?....?

150cc's .... no bueno.

Any new news? Hints? Teases ? Moto Happiness >!?

Panheads is evil insidious machines with minds of malcontent and roots reaching to the very bowels of hell.
I know that's not quite what you were looking for but it's all I got.

Oh, you wanted GOOD news?

Very sad about Track Dutch, yet very intriguing about the Ducati Diesel!

The only happy motorcycle news I really need is when my odometer flashes at me that I've passed another thousand miles.

You do realize the Ducati doesn't actually have a diesel engine, right?

Well that's terrible motorcycle news!
Is it a translation problem, or are they just moronic?

Next up, the monster 1300cc turbo! (powered by an NA 800 cc motor)

"You do realize the Ducati doesn't actually have a diesel engine, right?"

actually no, I am not, I really have never looked at Ducati monster - so I never saw the drop down - did someone spoof their site ? Or is April 1st early for next year ?

I really thought there was something truley inovative on that page...until I read the first line in paragraph: "The Diesel Style Team, under the guidance of Diesel founder Renzo Rosso"...blahblah...

Bike definately does look good though I am so glad my gf isnt into bikes like she is into shoes.....

Diesel is a fashion company, most noted for their shoes. It's just a regular Monster with "bold, new graphics!"

Hayes Diesel has a streetbike in test (DOT and EPA) but their contract with the USMC to do the conversions on the gasoline-engined KLR fleet has taken priority.

This is NOT a diesel-converted KLR650 engine but a new, purpose-built, purpose-designed diesel dropped into the KLR.

We got to see a couple a few years ago just before they had to stop their testing.

claiming fair use parody :

Where have all the good rides gone
And where are all the rods?
Where's the street fighting Mercuries to run the daring roads?
Isn't there a white night needing a fiery speed?
Late summer night - I grind
And I turn
And I dream of such a steed .
I need a Hero. I'm holding out for a Hero 'til the city is out of sight.
It's gotta be fun
And it's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the track.
I need a Hero. I'm holding out for a Hero for adventure
Its gotta be dirty
And it's gotta be soon

And it's gotta be larger than life!
Larger than life.
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's a cycle yearning for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

It's gonna take a supermoto to sweep me outta that corner.
I need a Hero. I'm holding out for a Hero 'til the end of the night.
It's gotta be soon
And it's gotta be fast

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea

I could swear there is someone
Somewhere
Goading me.
Through the wind
And the chill
And the rain
And the storm
And the ride

I can feel its launch like a fire in my blood.
I need a Hero.
