not sure, i know i posted it in the bike section a long fuckin time ago when they first released the info. if they actually produce it, im guessing $25k. it would actually be worth the money too, bad ass bike.

thats the smallest diesel they could find that was reliable, mass produced and would work. why does it need to be smaller? you need more then 150mpg or less then 250ft/lbs? shit, i think its perfect, just wish theyd make then and they'd be under $15k.

Pretty sure Audi wouldn't sell them the motor for cheaper...

They scored the motor out of an Audi... did you miss that part. They didn't design the motor at all.

Eh, easier to use a car motor... a very very small car motor.

What they should use, is one of the 600cc TDI's audi has kicking around.
