Don't get me wrong. I don't mean Apples, as in Macintosh computers, but as in the fruit.
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 go, an alternative fuel motorcycle, that can go really fast, and is good looking....
6,000 apples is a lot of cider....
