Not Kawasaki related, but 2-stroke related. French publication Motoverte asked some people about the return of the two stroke and here's what the KTM boss in France had to say. I highlighted an interesting part. "We're one of the few manufacturers on the market to have always kept 2-stroke motocross bikes in our catalog. 4-strokes have gained market share because they're easier to ride, but technology has allowed us to smooth out the behavior of 2-stroke engines and broaden their power band, just like with 4-strokes. 2-strokes can be very powerful, but until now, you needed a certain skill level...

You’ll see a Stew Baylor video within a month or so. You may even see it raced by another rider at a GNCC by the end of the season.

Bam has never screamed “Red Bull guy” to me. If he goes HEP, I’d bet we see him in full TLD with some insane custom Twisted Tea lids.

If Barcia lands that spot, gear deal? Troy Lee Designs gear? Seems like he’s always had a good relationship with them no matter what team he is on, ex: Troy Lee Painted helmets A Stars gear Yamaha days, personal drink deal, Red Bull? Seems unlikely, but you never know

Where else did you want them to mount that electronic power valve? Cylinder heads have been almost identical on every single Japanese/Euro 2 stroke for the last 20 years, both these bikes have entirely different bottom end designs, both have case reeds, the cylinders themselves are different, not to mention Kymco isn’t producing Chinese cylinders for Kawasaki unlike KTM 😂

They’re different, that’s like saying, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha were copying each others engine designs back when 2 strokes were still at the forefront because they looked similar. The Japanese brands all looked similar but were different. Were you expecting a modern fuel injected Japanese 2 stroke to look like what they were developing 20 years ago? 😂

I'd keep a lookout in the coming weeks. The latest YZ trend carried from 06-21. Then we saw the 'X' models come in and sell like hot cakes. Then the face lift in '22 followed by a new 125 engine in '23. I agree there has been some speculation with CW2/KR557 rumblings on the YZ big bore talks (YZ300/YZ350F). I dunno if I'd sell the farm on a new YZ offroad drop in '27, but with the Beta 350RX and now the KX327X; I think it's a safe to say that discussion has already happened with their engineers and wouldn't...
