I’ve owned quite a few BMW 3-series’ over the years and every generation has their own very unique smell. E30’s all smell the same, E46’s all smell the same.

Appropriately named News source.

Yeah, it’s a completely new engine aside from a few basic parts.

They used the same block as the standard KLR650 for that engine? That would be most impressive.

This is by far the most impressive diesel motorcycle engine created.

The compression ratios that diesel works at requires a substantially more robust block, forcing them to be made from very heavy iron or some extreme aluminum alloys.

Thank you for giving up on your war against guns. Please encourage your fellow “journalists” to do the same.

I’ve lived in every state on the west coast and now live in Idaho. Truck country.

We don’t sit at home in the evenings counting coins and eating ramen. We live a very comfortable life and travel quite a bit. Headed to Hawaii next week, NY a few weeks after that and then Canada for fishing in October. Don’t worry, our lifestyle is not hurting at all. We just make sure that we plan ahead and have the…
