I don't know if I saw this here first. A San Diego project to Baja Test future fuels. There always seems to be a camera around.....

B1K is not the best place to test some kind of new vehicle. It looks like it must weigh a ton.

I believe it was a three cylinder mercedes motor, bmw rear end and KTM forks. Their goal was two hundred miles. TW has some pics at the start line.

If it was the same bike they set the algae fuel speed records with, it was an Mercedes 800 cc three cyl diesel, bike made by Track in Holland. 50-100 mpg depending. Turbocharged and intercooled.
It has a CVT and CDI. and DNF too.......:lol::lol:
