Hi again.

I mean this in the nicest possible way - but don't be fooled into thinking diesels are any worse than motorcycles. The SV1000 puts out 0.14g/km NOX, my friends 2 litre turbo diesel people carrier puts out 0.075. So considerably less. Don't forget, we don't have cats and older bikes are less efficient in the name of easier power delivery. I choke like hell when I'm stuck behind an older CBR for example, my VFR750 absolutely stinks (it's running fine, believe me)...so there's not much weight in a car being any worse than a bike.
