Bike that races on Bio-Fuel!


Hayes Diversified Technologies (HDT) has come out with a B20-fueled diesel motorcycle which is making waves on racetracks. At the Bonneville Speedway's 2007 International Speed Trials, the bike won several races. Fred Hayes, promoter of HDT and chief test rider Byron Schmidt rode the bike on the track in and achieved a staggering 103-mph on the standard model and 110 mph for the turbo.

Amazing isn't it and eco-friendly too. The Bonneville, HDT's diesel bike is capable of fording a 24-in stream, and climbing or descending a 60 degree gradient slope while operating on any version of diesel, kerosene or jet fuel. These bikes run on B20 biodiesel (20 percent soybean, vegetable oil and other agricultural components; 80 percent petroleum diesel) and runs better than a petrol bike.

HDT diesel bikes have been regular Bonneville contenders since 2004, albeit with little class competition.
