it's all got to do with the "1 fuel" battle plan
I read about it somewhere researching ethanol production

Following my previous contribution and then Barry's subsequent post, I wonder why nobody ever tried to market a diesel single cylinder motorcycle with an automatic gearbox or variomatic style transmission as in the DAF 33? I'm sure it would have been possible and even economically feasible in the day, but now? maybe I'm being too nostalgic, eh?Some Guy turned up at the Norton Factory at Shenstone with a single Diesel motor. It looked good but when in first gear went down the road like a Kangaroo each firing of the engine sent the bike into a Kangaroo jump. Sorry but it looked very funny.

Did you already read about this bike:
Thunderstar
The had classic rider Jan Frank Bakker do a few laps at the Assen Ducati Club races with this bike, but it wasn't a big performance, think the problem was to much engine breaking. Laptimes where not very impressief, short time later bike was history, never to be seen again.
Like with the diesel cars in le mans engine specs are very close to petrol engines and hasn't much to do with diesel engines in modern roadcars, like mine outside the house.
