Two-stroke motorbikes

[Cosmik de Bris]

Emissions laws will have stopped them in western countries wont it?

Yeah but with direct injection and other modern stuff they might be able to beat the regs; if there is a will.

Yes. As I understand it, direct fuel injection for 2-strokes has already demonstrated an 80% reduction in CO and hydrocarbons plus 50% reduction in particulate matter and 40% less total CO2 emissions.

Ignores the tens of thousands of off road 2 strokes in production.

The TS250 looks fantastic. I'd love one with the rounder hole heatsheild on exhaust. Haven't found one in my price range (charity?) Yet.

Still by a brand new TS185 Suzuki in Japan - and in UAE I believe...😀

The KTM engines apparently use transfer port injection and should be in bikes later this year.

I hope they're absolutely fantastic too. Might make Japan get back into them. One can only hope.

Awesome looking bike those. I'd love one of my old KR1SPs back that's for sure.

Couldn't decide whether to put this link in the bike porn thread or this one. I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure?

No drawings this time, pics, lotsa pics. For those lusting after the return of two strokes, knock yourself out.

Ive managed to pick up a low mileage alloy frame RZ500 recently.
Im fairly confident we wont be seeing new bikes anything like them ever again.

Leave out the electronic control shit,keep it cheap(ish) and watch it sell bucketloads.


The Japs'll follow like drones.

There is a class in the US, Super Single if it's still going, that produced badass rides like http://www.cycleworld.com/2007/09/13...cer-first-look

I'd kill for a fancy DI 2smoke gussied up like that.

And on second look, http://www.racetech.com/page/id/61 has kits for sale
