Looking for a Diesel Motorcycle M1030 for my collection

Anyone have one of these for sale? AKA the Diesel Motorcycle. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!

The Indian Enfield Company did one based on an altered English Enfield produced in India, it was supposed to get 200 MPG. And the USMC has some I believe, based on a Kawasaki or some such design. It's a wonder other bike builders haven't picked up the idea yet. Good luck on your hunt,

Cheers,

Thanks for the information. I should have been more specific. I don't need information about the bike. I want to purchase one. Sooner than later hopefully. If anyone has any information to the whereabouts of one of these bikes call me 612-239-4971

Thanks.

jsrovers, you are looking for the 'Holy Grail' of military motorcycles!
I don't know if any of the diesel engined 'HDT' KLR's have made it into civilian hands yet.
I own (and so does M813RC) a couple of the M1030B1 (gas) KLR650's.
I searched for the diesel one for over a year, no dice.
There was a big push from KLR owners to get Kawasaki to produce a civilian version but it never happened.
If you ever find a diesel 650, BUY IT FIRST, then brag about it here!
Good Luck!

It's really hard to get a hold of diesel motorcycles as far as I can tell. The military sucks up all the ones produced by the few companies that make them. I was looking for one too but ended up settling for a dual-sport gasser.

I think I remember GL selling a few about a year ago.

Hey Sarge,
I am up at Ft. Hood. How might I get a chance to ride one of your M1030 or take one off your hands for you?
