Yeah, I think they mean diesel as in Diesel jeans or something... because it has a drab green paint job to look all tough-guy or whatever. It appears to be a regular Monster 1100 motor.
Its designed by a company called diesel design not a actual Diesel powered bike. Right?

From what I gather, this is the case. Same company that makes the overpriced jeans it appears.
I feel like a real jackass 
from the website...
"The Monster Diesel is technically based on 1100EVO standard version and offers the same technical equipment and specifications "

This, OTOH, is an honest diesel bike

Ohmydawg. That is one horribly ugly motorcycle. It can't even claim function over form.
