This here seems like a good starting point for a next gen development. Not sure why these guys haven't posted an update in the past couple (few?) months...

Now I am a big Diesel fan and run them in my trucks and boat. They have no place in MX bikes and neither do electric motors. Two stroke explosive power all the way. There are no other options. Unless a four stroke is your flavor. Next best thing if a two stroke doesn't work for you.

This is the engine you want, 700 tandem twin.

Now we are talking Uniflow.

Recluse clutch on that thing and a wheely bar out back.

no gearbox
but hmmm... a properly tuned 700 counter rotating disc valve twin.

if you could get it to pull cleanly from idle you probably wouldnt even need a gearbox haha.

and that would be its advantage!

The misfire you can hear is from copying analog tape to digital. First run ever for this engine.

Detroit diesls (and the engines of ships) are two strokes. The Detroit diesels, despite being two strokes, have valve gear. Not a win in my book. But they are cool motors. Very narrow powerbands (hence the 16 speed dual shifter transmissions in those big rigs back in the day). If you want one in your motocrosser, expect the engine to weigh more than 2 other bikes on the track.
