Biodiesel Bike Sets World Record bbmf Sep 6th, 07, 04:13 PM #650 (permalink)
Die Moto, a motorcycle that runs on biodiesel,
set national and international records on Monday,
cruising to a top speed of 130.6 miles (210+km/h)per hour.

Built by The Crucible, a group of industrial artists in Oakland,
the bike has a modified BMW car engine and a handcrafted
aluminum shell. And it's a green machine, too. Running on
B100, or pure bioediesel fuel, the bike emits 78 percent
less CO2 than a standard diesel engine.
The team eventually hopes to crank it up to 160 miles per hour.
