(based in the Netherlands), are planning to launch the TRACK Diesel Motorcycle in 2007. 3 prototypes will be manufactured in 2006, one of which can be seen running in a video clip viewable at the bottom of the 'Diesel Picture's' page from the E.V.A. website. E.V.A. plan to bring 100 machines to the market in 2007 and PR will start approximately around 09/2006. HDT Limited Edition KLR It appears that this bike is late coming to both the Military and Commercial sectors. Watch this space for updates. The text of the June 2006 Newsletter: As most of you already know, HDT has had to delay production of the commercial D650 Bulldog due to recently increased orders for our military models. During the last 6 months, in anticipation of our commercial model release, we have greatly increased production capacity with the completion of our engine and motorcycle assembly lines. Unfortunately, for our commercial customers, the expansion is now needed to fill our ongoing military requirements. We maintain plans to produce our commercial diesel motorcycle, the D650 Bulldog, and are increasing our production capabilities as fast as we can. I want to personally extend my thanks to all you who have shown interest in our diesel motorcycles. We will continue to publish updates of our commercial motorcycle release through our newsletter. Fred Hayes President HDTUSA Some good news: In the last few months, we've been able to improve performance and overall operability. We've been able to improve power throughout the rpm range and further reduce vibration at cruising speeds. Fuel mileage has also been improved. (See Economy Run in Upcoming Events). Biodiesel: We've had a number of requests to do more testing using various blends of biodiesel, including B5, B20, and B99/B100. We'll keep you up-to-date on the test results. Motorcycle Assembly Line: We've started using our new motorcycle assembly line. It will allow us to improve efficiency, increase production rates and retain high quality. Engine Assembly Line: We are just finishing our new diesel engine assembly line. It is a big step from modifying existing motorcycles to producing our own motorcycle engines. HDT is using innovative production techniques, such as these specially designed engine stands to try and keep costs down and quality high. R&D Center. We finally moved into our new R&D Center where we're continuing to find more power, smoother operation, better fuel economy and lower emissions. Currently we're testing various blends of biodiesel. Very interesting stuff!!! More on biodiesel later. Dynos. We just took delivery of our 3rd Dynomite motorcycle dyno from Land & Sea. (www.land-and-sea.com) This makes our third dyno from Land & Sea. We have the original engine dyno, our eddy current R&D dyno, and the latest unit that will be used for final production testing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The text of the October 2005 Newsletter: Commercial release of the Diesel Fuelled D650-A1LE Bulldog! We are very excited about the production of our new commercial version diesel motorcycle the D650 Bulldog, which is the theme of this month's Newsletter. We have had an overwhelming response and have received literally thousands of inquiries. Due to the volume of e-mails and telephone calls we are unable to respond personally to every inquiry. We can assure you that we are receiving each and every message. Just a reminder, the surest way of getting updates and information about our company and product releases is through this newsletter. Currently, we are undergoing a final review of Federal and State regulations with regards to our commercial motorcycles. We plan on accepting firm orders for the D650-A1LE Bulldog soon and will be announcing the availability date through this newsletter. Below is a list of just some of the features we plan on offering for the first limited release of the Bulldog. We will be offering a limited production run in 2006 and full production will start for the 2007 model year. First, the 2006 Limited Edition D650-A1LE Bulldog will be very special: It will be the only production run of commercial diesel motorcycles that will use the military engine and limited to only 200 units. _ The D650-A1LE will have custom graphics by Wally World. _ It will have special Noleen/F1 rear suspension and custom tuned front suspension. _ The D650-A1LE will be available with the customer's choice of Dunlop D606 or D607 tires. _ Gearing will be customized to the rider's preference for on-road, off-road, or adventure touring. _ The D650-A1LE will have a custom seat cover. _ The D650-A1LE will have a custom, military style, tool kit, especially equipped for adventure touring.

D650-A1LE Bulldog, HDTUSA will provide you with a custom, military-style leather Bomber Jacket that includes a special patch with your individualized engine serial number. Additionally, each bike owner receives individualized documentation and a bronze medallion with the individualized engine serial number. Individualized engine serial numbers will be assigned on a first come, first served basis, with the exception of serial number 00001. We intend to auction off the first production unit with the proceeds going to a Marine Corps charity and the Marine Corps Heritage Museum in Quantico, Virginia. Owners will be provided with monthly updates as to the progress of the commercial production. Third, we will be offering a limited choice of colors and graphics. We are working on color and graphic details now and will announce the options in an upcoming newsletter.

A non-refundable deposit of 10% of the purchase price will be required to hold your bike. The balance will be due on presentation of documentation and notice that the unit is ready for shipment. For our customer's protection, deposits will be refunded if HDTUSA is unable to deliver their motorcycle. We plan to provide more details on the 2007 full production D650-A2 Bulldog in an upcoming newsletter.

A recent Press release stated: ........However, to promote the civilian version of the diesel motorcycle we will shortly be offering a limited number of bikes to the public with serial numbers xxx-001 through xxx-100. We will be requiring a substantial deposit that will go into an escrow account, in the event that something unforeseen happens to prevent us from producing a civilian version, this deposit will be fully refunded.Full details will be on our website as we get further into the project.When we do go public with the diesel motorcycle it will be available in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, then the rest of the world. Price has not been set yet but we are guessing at about 20% over the MSRP of the KLR 650. Back to DieselBike.net
