Diesel Motorcycles
I was wondering today if there was such a thing. So I searched for it when I got home.

Once Jan. 2010 comes around all diesel engines sold in the U.S. must be US_10 NOx compliant. Not to mention it must already have a diesel particulate filter.
You won't see a diesel in the US on a bike unless the above emission requirements are not appllicalbe to under a certain CC. There is simply no room for the additional components.

My family owns a couple of diesel ATV's.
I don't see why it wouldn't be adaptable for motorcycles, though I'd expect it for something the size of touring bikes.

He ended up selling it to a drug dealer up the road from him, and buying another gas job. It wasn't impressive. Cummins Diesels they are not.

This is a 250...prolly under no regulation. This is possible is they meet the NOx requirements, which most likely is going to result in an SCR system.
