For a Diesel Motorcycle, it's too bad these are only for the military Click Here. It sounds like the best of everything.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Free', 'M')y real dream is a diesel bike - there are some who can go 1000 km with one tank filling!!! Plus you can use biodiesel without any modification...

38 bhp? Not enough. Perhaps it needs to be turbocharged. If it had 138 bhp it would satisfy me well, although that would be expecting a bit too much from such a small engine. Perhaps 60 or 70 horsepower would be a good target with installation of a turbo.
Imagine it: with proper gearing top speed might increase from 100 or so to over 120 and 0-60 mph acceleration might be 5 seconds. Couple that with 120 mpg or so. That would be acceptable, although I'd like faster.
Even better, build a faring for it to reduce drag. Fuel consumption goes down, top speed(with right gearing if rpm was limiting factor) goes up.
