two stroke road bikes......it has sparked a memory of 350 kwaka triple 2 smoke I once owned...nasty bucking beast that it was....(goes misty eyed...)
Experience......something you get just after you needed it
He rides like a Nana though Kick. This thing's going to cost him a fortune in blackened plugs as it is.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
very nice bike mate. looking foward to seeing more of it
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
He takes it easy on the road I believe...
Pretty quick on his bucket though.
He's merciless on a bucket.
He put FXR 150 headlights on the YZF. That should give you a good idea of just how fast he rides at night. Besides as a mate it is my duty to ridicule him because he hasn't gained an ounce of fat in 20 years and can manufacture a pocket bike from a 6 pack, using only a chewed fingernail as a "machine" tool.

Yeah I ended up with the 496 as less likely to vibrate as bad as the 535 I was originally considering. 610 would be silly & the rest of the engine gets a bit edgey after 100hp. I'm aiming for 90hp with a faat midrange. Weighing at ~ 140ish with empty tank should be quite entertaining.
Flexy frame? Well may consider bracing, but despite the enormous frames of modern bikes I think the main advances have come from stiffer forks & swingarms controlled by decent suspension. I don't think it is going to be too bad, but have some ideas if it is.
And yes I am slow on the road but I'm having fun.
Spent last night cleaning out the callipers. Bike is littered with Titanium & ally fasteners.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Well the engine kit is being shipped today & they got the wrong quote for shipping so want another $100. Super. Budget already spiralling & wonder where the money is coming from.

Looks sick! Saw it up on rgv forums. Will keep an eye out for how your project comes along.
No new law. . .yet. I'm pre-empting it. Vehicles are having to pass anti smoking test & this is heralding in the move to be more green. 2 strokes have a leniency clause as they of course wouldn't pass. But they are expecting most old bikes & cars to be off the road soon.
I believe that soon you won't be able to first time (or re-register a lapsed) vehicle that doesn't pass these tests or perhaps even a measured emission test that would be done at initial VIN test.
This is my theory only but looking at past performance & the greens having the ear of the govt I wouldn't bet against it.

Oh hell yeah, nice machine!!
It's a dream of mine to one day make my own NSR500....
