Not much info, it's probably just a prototype and aimed at military uses...

That actually looks like a Track T-800 CDi. A diesel bike built in Holland, with the engine being a three cylinder diesel engine from the Smart car. <they started selling the bike in 2009, and I believe have stopped since 2012. Although a good idea, it was plagued with problems. Here is a link to a post by a guy who had one for some time, but finally gave up: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=957866

What a pity they were so unreliable. I've been wondering recently about the possibility of a lightweight turbo diesel in a bike. Should have realised someone had already done it.

Kawasaki has been producing a diesel KLR 650 for the military for at least a decade

Forget diesel, turbines are more reliable, can burn diesel or JP if tuned right, and you can melt plastic car bumpers at traffic lights:
