hello.....i am looking for a smaller motor that would be able to be put into a motorcycle frame.....i think that a 150mpg diesel bike would be awesome......but i just dont know of a motor that i can use....needs to be light enough to hold up with your feet at a stoplight and stuff but yett bigger than a 50cc 1cylinder ya know....is there like a 250cc 1,2 cylinder or something like that out there...doesn't have to be turboed or anything i just want to know what motors are out there that would fit...or a couple companies that make small diesels like this.....thanks in advance

Check out http://www.dieselmotorcycles.com
I actually went up and checked these out at one time. They're mostly for military use, but at one point, the company was considering civilian sales. Don't know if/when that's going to happen. Gets about 100 mpg.
I also found this site: http://www.dieselbike.net with a lot of home-built customs. Seems like a lot of people use the 406cc Yanmar motor. Here's the Yanmar page.

If you're interested in buying a REAL Yanmar, here's a list of their U.S. Dealers.
