Maybe the 2 stroke isn't dead??

When I was in Mattighofen last year the KTM guy said that although the japs are scaling back their 2 stroke development KTM were still investing in smoker R&D & planning to make them for a while yet, cos 1. They sell plenty & 2. They like them.

All this crap about the 2 stroke is coming from the US,Kalifornia in particular,you can't even buy a 2 stroke lawnmower or weedeater there.It sucks when the rest of the world is influenced to such a degree by just one state in one country.

Yep,if it wasn't for Kalifornia we wouldn't be riding dirt bikes on the street would we Andy? Lots of positives,but the negatives piss us off.

Aprillia has released a revised RS125 stroker. Their SR50 scooter also has a direct injection 2 stroke with computerised fuel/oil mixture control.

And no hassling 2-stroke outboards. My old seagull starts first pull from cold even after a coulpe of yearsd sitting in a shed. 10:1 mix, mineral oil only
