Showroom in 92

I could be complettely wrong and I hope I am but just got my deposit back. More I thought about it the more I realize its a HUGE undertaking to build a close to perfect big bore 2 stroke afte two decades. So much going on with electronics and crap. I decided to wait till next summer for my new big bore 2 stroke from KTM. Ya, it will be a new model also but KTM has been building 2 strokes non stop now and can use data from that to transition into a 350/360 or whatever it ends up...

I want the 327 to be good soo bad, the hype has been crazy and it looks sick! But, I think it's gonna be a pos. It sounds like shit in all the videos and seems slow. Plus it's heavy. I hope I'm wrong. Looks like Kawi still has some work to do and they're pushing dates back...

I have lost any desire to go the SX/MX. The noise, the dirtiness, and above all - people. The older I get, the more I don't want to be around crowds. I thought I wouldn't get this way this quick, I'm only 31. The only thing I miss are the pits. Good thing we have Pit Bits (for now).

I'm on the realistic side of electric and know it will be a sideshow to real bikes in our lifetime

I think everyone or most who ride the stark are blown away and think it is amazing at first. But then every person I know including myself who have owned one eventually start to realise it's limitations and go back to real bikes. Electric is so far from being a replacement to gas it's not funny. The technology upgrade that has to happen for it equal current gas bikes will not happen in any of our lifetimes.

Come on ML WTF is up with the AI touch up? 100% unacceptable.

A picture swap is in order. That vital picture is an AI mess. Sponsors would not be impressed.

Maybe the powers that be here touched it up? Agree with other posters that this crap is ridiculous and is unnecessary.

I guess Vital used ChatGPT or similar to add 'Latest News' onto the image, which in turn screwed up the rest of the image.

Not sure what that guy was thinking on that reed cage but that's a butcher job. New cage and reeds will definitely help with the starting issue. Most folks don't think of reeds as a maintenance item but I change them every season. My 86 was getting a little more hit or miss on the 1 kick dead engine start so I put new reeds in and now it's been a hole shot machine. If you don't like the weak drum brake you can always do was I did and switch to the 81 YZ465 rear wheel and drum brake...

So awesome congrats! I just got a new ring dinger too! It's so fun!

I was thinking the same thing after watching the previous videos. When under load it doesn’t rev into the top of the rpm range, indicating the power goes flat up top like you mentioned. Axell was riding it like a 250F. I have to admit it sounded better than the earlier videos, but now that you mention it, it’s not under much load on Axell’s track. Stoked to hear it rev a bit, but my money is still on it being a midrange motor that goes flat on top. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just an observation.

I am sure it is a good bike. I have ridden 2 strokes for 58 years, from 125cc to 500cc, and honestly that is definitely the worst sounding big bore 2 stroke that I have ever heard. It sounds more like a 150cc.. not a big bore, especially when it is rev'd out. Sounds like it flattens out very fast. I am also sure that every guy that has put down their downpayment is hating my post, but it is a 2 stroke, so it should be easily fixable, aside from the fuel injection which will require sending the ECU...
