Honda sell millions of scooters in Vietnam alone...you think they'll bother with a few piddly MX bikes?
At least come up with a legitimate reason. Be honest and say you like the sound and smell. Don't say they are too difficult.

I am a Honda man thru and thru, but if my 450 blows, I will go the 500AF route. A real bike.
I spoke to the test rider who is going to be doing the endurance testing next year. Expect to see aluminum framed RM 2strokes either next year or the following.
I know the "Suzuki 2stroke return" rumor has been around for a long time. But this is the first time I heard it from a legitimate source, not some sales rep at a dealership.
I can't remember if my friend said the 250 would be back also. And I cant remember if he said the bikes would be available in the US. But they most certainly will be made for Europe.
This move by Suzuki sure will help their dealerships and unit sales if brought to the USA. While Suzuki's sales worldwide are good, they could use a boost in the States.
oh, and ask Mr. Engine Ice about some of the factory mechanics at LL's this year when they had to rebuild a few two strokes.
Also, I don't buy that a certified mechanic at a dealership can't rebuild one. Complete bullshit.

As far as I know you can race CRF150 at least in UK, Ireland, Belgium, Spain, Finland (this one I'm sure), Portugal and Greece.
Also CRF:s aren't banned by FIM at Italy either, it's their federation. There's Honda Extreme Academy (a race series just for Honda CRF150) in Italy also, so you can race CRF 150 there.

Funny thing that MXA claims this kind of shit (without any proof or link to the original news) and everyone just think this is the truth. Nice work MXA ; )
I still call bullshit on the dealer not being able to fix it. So you're telling me that a customer brings his two stroke grass trimmer/snowmobile/water pump/generator/lawn mower/watercraft/motorcycle for a top end job and said dealer is going to tell the customer to go somewhere else because his mechanics don't to know how repair two strokes?
TWO - as in, more than one and less than three.
TO - as in, going TO the store.
TOO - as in, Fathers are TOO dumb.
I had a kook that had a certificate for advanced steering and suspension systems sit a automobile strut on the ground and zap the nut off the top of it with a 1/2 inch air impact. Two years of school and $24,000.00 of his parents money down the drain. I've had them not know the difference between 80 grit and 600 grit sandpaper. BUT, they were "certified".
Certified does not in any way shape or form relate to capable.
Meanwhile, 50cc 2 STROKE kid's race bikes cost $4K and are extremely expensive to maintain.
Remember, 50s are the entry level and you must have a 2 stroke to be competitive.
