This here’s the HDT M1030-M2 670cc JP8, but don’t let the charming name deceive you, this military-grade motorcycle is as tough as old boots.

Boasting a (patent pending) “heavy fuel” engine capable of running on Diesel, Biofuel, Aviation fuel and four other military grades of petroleum, it can traverse water 2ft deep and has a tank range of over 300 miles.

Its single, four-stroke cylinder will reach 95mph in the heat of combat, and at 33bhp it’s even suitable for restricted licence holders.

Despite a price tag of $18,500 there’s already a significant waiting list of survivalists, mercenaries and prospectors hoping to get their hands on its high tensile steel frame.

Hayes Diversified Technologies Inc. claim the M1030 is a “breakthrough in military ground vehicle technology”, one that comes decorated in Desert Tan, Military Green or Black.

That's pretty darn cool! Pricetag isn't too bad either considering how many $20k+ cycles are on the market.
