Track T800CDI Diesel Motorcycle Quick Ride - Other Street Bike Motorcycle Review - Motorcycle USA




Evaproducts Track T800CDI is the most-advanced diesel production bike built yet and MCN got the exclusive honors of test riding it. The Track T800CDI is a new adventure-style motorcycle from Dutch manufacturer Evaproducts using a turbo-charged, 800cc triple-cylinder from a Smart car, mated with a CVT transmission and shaft drive to keep the engine at peak torque.

The engine gives a claimed 45 hp and 78 lb-ft of torque, but more significantly Evaproducts claims the T800CDI has fuel consumption up to 140 mpg for general riding – twice the economy of the most efficient large capacity petrol motorcycles.

The chassis is designed to compete directly with the KTM 990 Adventure and BMW R1200GS, so it has WP suspension, Brembo brakes and a modern trellis frame.

MCN’s Chris Newbigging is the first journalist to hike a leg over the prototype on a quick ride -here’s his first impressions:
