-MAVERICK- Liked a reply to forum topic Kawasaki is bringing the two stroke back!
7/28/2026 10:27am 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...

7/17/2026 8:29am 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.

7/16/2026 6:23pm 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

6/3/2026 5:27pm I thought we were arguing about cylinder heads? Not case vs cylinder reeds? 😂

6/3/2026 5:29pm 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 😂

6/3/2026 5:19pm I think your arguments pretty invalid, it’s been this way forever 😂

6/3/2026 4:19pm 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? 😂

6/3/2026 7:36am It will be interesting to see how Star handles the changing sound rules and the new 250’s updated bore and stroke next year.

6/3/2026 7:36am One Japanese brand left to announce their 2027’s, Suzuki. Are we gonna get an updated RMZ and new KX 2 Stroke in the same year 😂
RH447 Liked a reply to forum topic 2 stroke resurgence will the other OEMs follow?
6/2/2026 2:01pm 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...

6/2/2026 11:56am 227 along side the 327 would be killer

6/2/2026 11:46am I think you’re right, Yamaha would be the first in line to follow Kawasaki if these things start flying off showroom floors. We’ll know Suzuki’s game plan within the coming weeks. (2027 RMZ450)
