Sweet!, I got to have a look at the RS500 they have not too long ago.

My RG150 uses about as much gas as the ZX10 - The 2-stroke ZX1100rrrr rrrrrr rrrr will be insane on fuel through Auckland traffic - but the lane splitting potential...

They'll need to hang lead weights off the front of the thing to keep the front down come powerband.

That on the poor bastard riding it will know what it feels like to have his brain pressed firmly against the back of his skull.

... Sounds like great fun!

Imagine putting it in something like rolf bilands beast,
getting a passenger just sitting there(like they were if front of a ps3)
and then taking for a spin round the IOM
(or anywhere)
you would need a drip tray for the passenger,
possibly something to wipe there eyes off the visor

Everyone knows that 2 strokes got massive horsepower BUT NO TORQUE to speak of....

Are you MAD????

I wonder if they do a 2l 2-stroke 4 cylinder boxer engine with a twin-turbo setup. Time to liven up the old GT-B a bit

**Conquiztador** · 23rd April 2009, 22:30

A 3 cyl 2 stroke that is modern, has brakes, and can scream! If money was not an obsticle...

There is something magic about leaving 2 stroke smoke at 200K/h when passing cagers...

**nudemetalz** · 23rd April 2009, 22:40

2.2 litre 2-stroke = how many GALLONS per mile......

But then again, who would care with that sort of "HOLY SHIT!!!" going on !!!

I've had modified bikes before (no, not THAT modified). Insurance just start to get worried, as they believe you have done it because you are going to use it

Therefore, great danger, and a big fat premium.

Sure it'll be feeble by comparison outside the powerband.

It's no different from when people say that IL4s have less torque than V-twins. It's incorrect. What is correct is that the V-twin will have a "fatter" torque curve - less peaky.

Yeah,my bandit is so peaky.
How peaky?
I almost had to change out of 5th gear the other day

**munterk6** · 24th April 2009, 08:07

I wonder if certification would be a problem? being two stroke the noise, the emissions and the power to weight miracle would have any cert engineer shaking his head I reckon.
Anyone know the legalities in NZ on this?
