Well, if a Triumph can run on apples, why can’t a V-Twin be made to run on, say BBQ or Beer! Here’s the story-Students from the Prince William School in Oundle, Northamptonshire, with help of Bike magazine editor Rupert Paul, have converted a Triumph Daytona 675 to run on a bioethanol fuel made out of apples. With help of Triumph motorcycles, they managed to modify the fuel injection system to run on the new fuel. Some 6,000 apples were required, but in the end, it worked. The Triumph Daytona 675 managed a top speed of 158.7 mph (from the original 135) on the track. So there you have it, an alternative fuel motorcycle, that can really move.
