They must have looked at my poll. Smart move if true.

I'll believe it when i see it... I imagine they could build an EFI 2-stroke for quite a bit less than a 4-stroke. I have nothing particularly against the 4-strokes, but the 2-strokes are cheaper, lighter and easier to maintain.

I've been reading about a similar rumour for about a month now, only it's Suzuki. Must be true, it's on the internet.

I fully expect Honda to do just that.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

I heard Honda was bring back 2 stroke race bikes that are going to be powered by yamaha marine engines. No joke. Suzuki will also be handling the forks and KTM will be providing them with with a bolt on works swing arm and shock that will get rid of the pesky linkage.

hey wouldn't that mean that you could make the powerband way way longer, like a fourstrokes... hence negating the need for thumpers?!??!

and dropping the price of bikes, helping the sport, making the teams rich again, and letting us all make 2 stroke noises as we watch the horizon go by???

Damn I miss 2 strokes....

Buell will come out with a MX bike before Honda makes another MX 2 stroke!

Hopefully they come with an all new design not a repackaged 2002-2007 those weren't class leaders by any means.

I have been told that one of the majors has aquired license to use BRP's E-Tek direct injection technology. The system works awesome in the snowmobile and water industries........................so...............maybe ????
