OUR FRIENDS in the USA at hellforleather.com have unearthed firm evidence that Yamaha are in the process of developing an inline-four intercooled and turbocharged diesel.
The company have filed a patent application for a compact design, which will see the turbocharger located close to the cylinder head for minimum turbolag.
We think it's a spanking idea. OK, it may not be suitable for high-performance superbikes but the right sort of turbo-diesel engine would make an ideal powerplant for many real-world machines.
Would you ride a turbo-diesel bike?
