The Scouts have diesel versions of the KLR650. It's still a 650, but runs on the same JP8 that the Abrams and Humvees do. If you're interested in buying one you'll have to wait, the company making them does have it licensed for civvy use, but the military has ordered so many it can't make civvy bikes yet. Oh and it's 35K a pop...
