Ya know, the Alessi's are always saying about how they beat RV 90% of the time as an amateur, but I've seen both Alessis ride 80s a few times during the peak of their amateur career, and not only was I not very impressed, but after watching RV in this video I just don't see how he didn't wax Mikey all the time!

The two-stroke engine's mystique flows all throughout the land, sea, and air. Kneel before the mighty, shudder in fear of the growl, and relinquish your mind to the essence of nirvana.





Not a dirt bike but I LOVE the thought of these engines and the bikes they powered. Honda NSR500 engine:

My current project here in Japan, where road going two strokes are still legal, and pretty common.

TZR250 chassis, RD500 engine'd YZR500 replica with Nigel Kimber fairings. This is Nigel's bike, I'd be happy if mine turns out HALF as nice as this. 120-130HP 500cc two stroke ~295lbs... makes a GSXR1000 look like an XR100, and its a 25 year old engine design in a 15 year old chassis. but, yea... two stroke suck. LOL







Kevin Schwantz, biggest set of testicles on the planet, 190hp 500cc two stroke with no traction/wheelie control.


250Fs make GREAT parts bikes.

20+ year old engine design STOCK in an up to date chassis vs. a brand new state of the art 450F, and it wouldn't even be a close race.

last production 500cc street bike, it could have saved 2 strokes, but instead it killed them because the injection system was horrible.


Smallest human being no afraid to use ALL of a 500.

there is a company who is a sponsor on twostrokemotocross whom has a plug-n-play unit for 1,000 dollars. technically is converts the carb into a throttle body so its a bit like the TPI 305 chevys from the late 80s (L98 engine'd vette for example)

I think the site moderator is going to try it on the YZ144 he built. they claim 10% horsepower increase by bolting it on.

what you guys should be checking out is the Ossa 280RS trials bike. reverse engined, downdraft injected two-stroke. if an MX-centric company buys into this technology, game over buddy. look at the engine integrated into the chassis ala F1.

the technology definately exists, its just a matter of getting someone in this piss poor world economy to take a chance on it. I would be willing ot bet if you see it, it will be on a Husaberg, which is essentially KTM's R&D arm. they try it on a Husaberg, if it sells, it gets put on the KTM SX line.

it is truly my dream to see this happen, and see Honda go into a hissy fit over it, and pull out of the AMA scene, thus shotting themselves in the foot, proving that the US MX scene is stronger than they think. dont let the door hit your ass on the way out Honda, if that comes true.

Yesterday and today was a 2 stroke only race at Sleepy Hollow MX in PA. I was there and raced. Had a great time. There were a bunch of good vintage guys there too... The track prep was a thing of beauty, the smell was grand, and the racing was glorious... I'm sure someone has pictures..

Wardy was fun to watch on a big bore. Had excellent throttle control and was always a threat to win, rain or shine.

Just busting balls Flatliner Wink It seems like I heard the same thing - that it was basically finished. Thought I heard they just don't feel like releasing it yet. I can't recall the reason though.

I rode a 2 stroke Saturday (because I was working on my 450 fork and I felt like going riding before I was done)
I had a lot of fun, but I basically don't know how to ride a smoker on the track. I can't get in the power band at the right time.
And I never thought I would say that, but I miss the engine braking.

The clutch is for more than starting & stopping. It's like the little man in the boat, you find it and it is all worth your while.

It is a KTM 300 XC-W. I assumed it would have had enough grunt in the middle. It definitely feels a lot flatter than my old YZ250. I don't remember having to abuse the clutch with the YZ. But it has been a few years. Maybe I did and just don't remember it.
I think the 300 needs to have the head shaved to get a bit more compression. It is a very common mod, especially at altitude like in CO.
