Anyone heard of this? Lends new meaning to the term tractoring up a hill: Turbo Diesel

It's great when engineers rethink something that's been a given for so long, and they seem to have rethought the entire street motorcycle. Those counter-rotating crankshafts do seem wierd at first but are key to making the diesel concept work with just a few cylinders. Hadn't thought about it benefiting the piston like it does, too.

Yeah, that flash presentation was honestly one of the stupidest things I've ever watched though.. Kinda interesting to see a diesel bike though.
