Re: I think I want a 500 2-stroke!
I've got a pair of TDR250's which are great fun when they're running.....I suppose if I stand them side by side and rev them at the same time I sort of get the 4 cylinder sound....!
The problem with two strokes, and I quote Bob Farnham who tuned both of mine, is that nothing comes for free. You can't actually get more power from them, you just cram it into a narrower part of the power band, ie: you can have 45hp over 2,000rpm, or 50hp over 1,500 if you get what I mean. Also with 2 strokes more power = more maintenance. On my TDR's which both make about 50bhp at the rear wheel I need to do the pistons ever 3,000 miles. If I don't the piston rings jump the pegs, rotate around the piston then catch a port.....and barrels are getting hard to find now! |

Re: I think I want a 500 2-stroke!
A nice piece about 2 strokers in BIKE magazine this month. I must say I've always kind of fancied one of the later RGV250s, but for now I'll settle for my mega high performance mz etz 301 - which is once again in bits I should add.
