Before someone starts yelling Dupe, I know that it has been brought up previously...I am just curious to see if anyone has contacted them for possible civilian sales.

I have seen "rumor blogs" mentioning that F1 was trying to feel out a civilian market. If they are selling them to joe public than I will buy at least 2.

Anyone got info on this?

an 8.6 second 0-60 time? I'll pass. You'd be a sitting target for any highway riding and always having to push the hell out of it just to get to speed. For a trail only or offroad/farm only bike it doesn't look bad, but you're better off with a scooter if you just want a bike for the street/gas savings.

Doesn't that thing get like 200mpg? That would be the ultimate SHTF motorcycle.

With a 0-60 like that, the shit better hit the fan slowly.

IT's a diesel guys. That means LOW end power, not run it through the gears as fast as you can. I'm sure it will get out of it's own way.

the diesels will run 20 percent higher in price than the gas models, and they will be limited production if they become available
