2-stroke primed for a come back?

I just got out the dyno charts from from old LC (stock engine) looks great the torque and power curve matching lol, thats were the fun is ;-) old strokes kick arse, i dont even like YPVS engines that much , smoothing out the power , what a stupid idea lol ,Pre 82 Post Classics Rule ! ! !

Damn straight,totally agree and YPVS was invented so 4 stroke riders could learn to ride em.

Only got through a couple paragraphs, and stopped reading the bullshit.

Modern four strokes are "peaky"? To get more power you lose torque?

Ride my race bike, ya cant get anywhere near full throttle till it's reving, because the MASSIVE amount of torque between 6 and 10,000 rpm just points the front wheel skyward.

With modern oils, no 2 stroke should piss smoke everywhere anyway.. thats just a carry-over from days gone by, when if it DIDN'T piss smoke everywhere, you had forgot to mix the oil in the fuel.. Running 100:1 Amsoil I get NO smoke at any time, bar none.

Agreed, modern two-stroke oils reduce visible smoke. What they don't reduce is the unburned petrol that comes out of a two-stroke, about 20-30% of what went in. Direct fuel injection can eliminate that, too, and is used on outboard motors, but as I understand it, direct-injected two-strokes to date (Bimoto V-due) have had a very abrupt power delivery that makes them unsuitable for motorbikes. The Orbital fuel injection system is supposed to avoid that problem. I wish them luck, but I'll wait until they've actually built one before I'm convinced.
