I think that'd be plausible outside of the US, but unfortunately US diesel just sucks. Though you're right, but only in low-rpm/high-power situations. I can only imagine how that'd feel to have 3/4 of the power applied to the wheel at 1200 rpm ;) (on a motorcycle) On the arena of alternative fuel, there is an electric motorcycle that is either coming out Real Soon Now (tm), or is already out. The downside is that a Geo Metro could smoke it..... I think it was somewhere in the ballpark of 0-60 in 14 or 16 seconds.
