Here you go boys, clean two-stroke tech:

A modern, road-going two-stroke sportbike would be incredible. The best part is, modern tech (see above) makes it possible.....

There's a feature on about 5 modified RD500's in practical sportbike mag this month, one is similar to the one in the this thread but don't think it's the same one (not as nice)

I love 2 strokes [premature combustion :lol: :wonker:] , 3 of my 4 bikes are 2-strokes, that says it all :thumbup:

it was a sad day they stopped making the 2 stroke middleweight roadbikes, and then they drive them out of road racing and MX. at least they are still there in Trials and Enduro.
