Well, I still catch myself “clutching it” out of corners walking through WalMart… Dang fingers twitch all by themselves So maybe it is.

Paper ballots and an incredibly bloated and corrupt government. Much like this country, it all needs to be burnt to the ground and rebuilt. Makes me sad as that was and always will be my home, but it resembles nothing of the great state it once was.

Log Hopper FTW

What have you got against steam powered bikes?

Dang, I am compelled to be that guy. The Maico Spyder was 1983. The 1981 Maico was the Mega 2 (1980 was Mega 1). Just sold my Mega 1 440 to get some money to work on my 490 Mega 2 and 1982 490 Alpha!

If I didn't already know better, I might think the guy's name was George Prada.

If the 327 has the grunt of a carb'd 300, perhaps that would explain the plus 27cc. Yet will be smooth as butta', like the TBI's. Kawi really needs to not have the MX version need re-flash updates for an aggressive response. Although it's been reported that spicier jetting makes the Beetah 350 more tiring. Anyway, there needs to be enough to appease the ole BITD 500 boys.

One of the issues the 2T's are going to have regardless of how much power they make (and being undersquare only exacerbates the issue) is useable RPM. For equivalent HP, 2T has 3-4k less RPM which means it's generally going to produce more torque but useable RPM is a huge benefit to a 4T...you can get higher RPM out of a 2T but you start getting into shorter stroke engines that don't have the low end power needed. I think for a 2T to really be competitive you need to have a substantial tech leap to make that happen. All...

Youre both saying the exact same thing

Sorry if I'm coming across as a know it all asshole- not my intent. Was just trying to share some knowledge. What you shared is all true- but that is mainly focused on 4 cycle engines. When you look at data about "engines", the default "engine" everyone assumes is the dominate 4 cycle format of course. Not our niche but common racing 2 strokes. The most important parameter to performance of any engine is volumetric efficiency. So while bore and stroke certainly have massive effects on power character and power band, they will still always be second to VE in...

The only thing we're missing is a cameo by Epstein. Oh wait . . .

I only watch SX/MX on Peacock. ...and reruns of Emergency!
