Not to be a nay-sayer but ...
The Goldwing is already too big and much to heavy. I've been hoping the redesign for 2010 will address this.
diesel would be great if they can get the perfromance without making the bike even more heavy.

| How about a plastic block with aluminum heads and magnesium exhaust manifold with t15 garrett turbo built in. Water cooled with built in cold air changer.

Ran across some interesting facts on car engine weights. (without trans)
Toyota Corolla 1.8L @ 150#
Subaru 1.8L 1981-86 @ 190#
Peugeot 204 (diesel) @ 272#
Mazda MX3 V6 2.5L at 160HP @ 320#
One Toyota straight 6 (complete gas engine) @ 176.65# http://www.toymods.net/mos/img/1G/1G%20engine%20weight.JPG
GL-1100 engine (about) 238#
GL-1500 engine (dry Clymer) 275#
GL-1800 ???#
Is a diesel feesable on a Wing? The 272 pound Peugeot 204 says it is, add the trans weight (about) 68#, total about 340#. . . . looks good.
