    Where's all my two-stroke buddies riding these days?

    title says it all, anyone else out there rolling the two smokes? hit this up our race is slowly becomming extinct and once mr key enforces these new legislations newbies wont be able to enjoy the lustful fumes emitted from the rear of a two stroke. So lets thrive till we die. ehhehe

    Learners these days are all soft cocks with no mechanical abilities, and thus they flock to slow pieces of shit like CBR/ZXR 250s.

    At least they aren't as bad as the ninja 250s and hyobags, you have to give them that!

    It would be cool as to see RGVs and NSRs on the road but sadly I reckon petrol price has a lot to do with it in addition to imdying's observation... 2 strokes are absolute guzzlers.
    ...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.

    yer hardout the smokers are great. i get around 300km out of a full tank on myn and thats a 17L tank its not even that bad. with fuel prices any motorcycle is affordable to run so its not a fuss. Petrol is not a factor in this case.

    Everyone just goes for the CBR and ZXR's and Ninjas because they are a favorite, (they loookkkk cool as some people say) but when something goes wrong its so complicated on the bloody arsehole things.

    Two strokes are simple to maintain when you know what your doing before you buy any two stroke get it mechanically checked, and get the user manual and read IT! learn about the bike! and ull have it running mint to ur satisfaction.

    4 strokes never change they stay the same. run the same.

    3 reasons why you don't see many 2 strokes.

    1. Ended up in the ditch
    2. Engine's seized up
    2. or... they're just too bloody fast and too leaned over for you to see one.

    I've got another three weeks of commuting to work on my VJ23 before morphing it into race mode for the winter series. (money allowing)
    Probably should be shot on Both accounts!

    Averaging 12km/Litre + lube.

    I can relate to two out of those three reasons.

    Sadly, they are not the two that I would have any right being proud of

    Ok that is fucking terrible. Think I'd find it hard to use that much on the track with a 600. Is that for track fuel consumption?

    Are you for real? Mate I was using approx 500ml a lap at Taupo on a 600. That's about 7kays a litre I guess.
