Yes you red it correctly, its TurboDiesel, and no, it is not the new Polo TDI, but a motorcycle.
A whole new bike who comes from Germany, The Neander 1400 Turbo Diesel... 19 votes
Yes, its a cruiser, its heavy, strangely designed, and worst of all... Its a diesel!
So first, those who are already judging, stop talking and read carefully the specifications : 1430cc, 112 bhp @ 4200rpm, 214 Nm @ 2600 rpm...
