IF Yamaha had kept making two-stroke road bikes...

Warning, get some paper towels to wipe up the drool from the two stroke lovers - this hybrid R6/RZ500 was built in Australia apparently has extensive motor work, lots of Titanium and weighs in at 135Kg, don't know much more about it than that, just got sent the pics by someone at Yamaha NZ.

Enjoy -

Oh dear, from someone raised on two strokes, I'm in love.

Finally finished! I saw some pics of that bike when it still had the blue road gear on it, but wasn't quite ready to be ridden yet. I wish he'd left the expansion chambers raw, the welding was pure sex against the blue body work.

Would be interesting to see how it stacks up against a similarly prepped R6 with the normal four banger motor!

My desk rose a few feet

Nice, but it looks like a track bike only........

**Maha** · 6th July 2009, 15:26

Sexy bit of kit for sure.

Very nice looking bit of kit.

Is there any reason (2-stroke newbie) why there's a muffler for each pipe? I would have though you'd want to run them back to one can, or will that interfere with what's going on in the expansion chamber?

You answered your own question there mate. There is an animated gif that was posted up recently about what happens with the expansion chamber and why it helps with combustion.
