New Kickboxer Concept is all-wheel-drive diesel insanity on two wheels

It's been a while since we heard from Ian McElroy. As you may remember, he has the twisted eyes that came with the idea of the filing of a Subaru boxer four-cylinder engine between the rails of a motorcycle frame. Now it seems that he has a busy bee, as was shown taking his first on the concept kick boxer. McElroy has set about Reimagining his creation with a diesel boxer lumps in the center of the action. The engine is still available from Fuji Heavy Industries, although it is both small lumps and efficient than the old petrol.

The latest addition to the kick boxer family offers new body and a different swing arm design with a new turbo configuration. Not crazy enough for you? How about an all-wheel-drive version of the oil-combustion-engine stuck in your pipe? McElroy was a twin-chain design that works with some help from a jack shaft, pinion gear and a drive shaft.

These are not just some random renderings, though. McElroy says it all CAD files it needs to manufacture the bikes and set up. All he needs is to do the coin. Shall we start passing the hat?
