Diesel Motorcycle, Being Started and Built Around A Kubota Engine And Custom Frame From Kraft Tech

Stumbling around a good motorcycle event is all about people watching and also catching some of the great rides that show up. One particular motorcycle that got a lot of attention was this custom built bike, from Dethmachine Fabrication, which just happens to be powered by a Kubota diesel engine. Quite the marvel of engineering and everything seems to fit well together stylistically. Kudos to breaking new territory and for the amazing machining on this bike.
