Just looking at the new Evinrude G2 150-300hp engines I know its a boat motor but!!!
The E-TEC G2 delivers up to 30% more torque and burns up to 15% less fuel than competitive outboards. Delivering best-in-class torque, best-in-class fuel efficiency and the lowest total emissions.
The E-TEC G2 engines are cleaner than competitive four-strokes.
100% Global Compliant, so no matter where in the world your
boating takes you, the Evinrude E-TEC G2 is welcome.
I think the issue with bikes (especially dirt bike 2 smokers) is weight and generating enough power/pressure to run the injectors etc with direct injection?
They dont have that issue with boats extra few Kg no issue, on a dirt bike big Issue.
The other manufacturers might not. But pretty sure KTM would do it if they could, they still have a 2 stroke heart.
The rest just wanted to go four stroke because everyone in the food chain from manufacturer to Mechanics make a shit load more money out of four stroke sales, parts and engine/valve reconditioning.
This pollution thing is a crock of shit! You could start all the 2smokers in the world up and make fuck all difference to the pollution, its about money.
