Two strokes the sound and the smell of them still makes me feel like the excited kid who learned to ride on one.

[hdidane]

408hp/ Liter N/A is still unmatched to this day . simply amazing. gotta bring 2 strokes back if you with me hit like.

[HomebrewSubaru]

Had an 87 Yamaha RZ350. It near killed me a few times. I killed it... twice. We loved each other.

[thegit]

two strokes will always have a special place in my heart

[dannyboy]

4 stroke :
2 stroke: PAM PAM PAM RUTUTUTUTUR TUTUTUTU PAAAMMM PAMPAM

[Mark-nuvg]

The sound of a big two-stroke revving out at max r.p.m. is the best and baddest sound in the world.

[retroman]

Its sad that most people these days don't even know what a two stroke is. I ride a 74 Kawi H2 750 and always get people asking me why my bike smokes and when I explain that its a two stroke they get confused or look at the pipes and then tell me its a 3 cylinder not a two cylinder...

[Jodyrides]

I raced both two strokes and four strokes. I won six championships, and two national championships on two strokes. The two strokes had no engine braking, and in the back of your mind you always expected it to seize.. two strokes were much cheaper to maintain, and easier to work on. My TZ 250 require new pistons every 200 miles, and a new crankshaft every 600 miles..I like the two strokes

[michielpoortvliet]

My dad and i (then 17 years) bought a Honda nsr 250, we had such a blast with it. Everytime my dad started it and was tuning it and tested the throttle response...man if closed my eyes in my imagination i was in the paddock with doohan, schwantz, rainy. Good memories. I cherish them with my heart

[Tellbrack]

Bring the two strokes back! Pure racing beasts! Love it

[rustyshackleford]

Its crazy to think what advances we've made in like 75-100 years, i remember reading that a lot of early 1900's Harley single cylinder engines were around 350-500cc and only output 3-4hp on average (not to say there werent more powerful engines developed) but the power per displacement is just amazing nowadays

[BornProtector]

One of the most amazing things about the 2 strokes for me, besides the thrill of the ride with that narrow powerband is that, at high revs both the single cylinder and multicylinder bikes sound very similar unlike, the 4 strokes.

As an ex 400 cc production racer in So. Calif in the early 80s I eventually became a proud owner of a TZR-250 later in 1992. Living in LA I had the title of being the top rider from the rock store to the view point at Mulholland Drive in my ex RD-400 cc Yamaha. A decade later I recaptured my title on my tiny TZR-250. This TZR was like riding a 17 lb bicycle with 100 horse power, even though my TZ R was putting out 65 hp. This thing was crazy fast going into, and out of turns. I used to laugh so loud inside my helmet as I used to leave everyone in the dust on the way to the view point finish, even though they had stripped down Suzuki 750s specifically for this Mulholland ride with well over 100 hp.

(00:45) Suzuki RG500 Made up until 1989, I have one of the last of the 6, 276 made, RG500 CH number 873 RG500 Pepsi-Suzuki "Kevin Schwantz" GP Race Replica. It goes 'berserk' at over 7000 rpm when everything, timing, carburetion and disc valves really set to work. Best bike I have ever owned and ridden, and that's a long list.

[jillianhorsley]

Back in good old 77 i rode S2 350 kawasaki, an RD 250 and my very first bike was a yammy DT 175, i loved them all. Now there is an original Suzuki 1100 Katana 83 model in the garage, i miss going out for a blast.

[lordmurray]

It’s not only the power but how light the whole package was when compared with the 4 strokes . Put a huge smile on your face every time you fired it up. Castrol R heaven.

[lavissa]

no one gonna talk about the smell of the exhaust fume?
Its like a perfume

[stableianForacle]

I’m glad I owned many two strokes .. screw green peace

[josephfreeman]

Nothing beats the old Honda CR500 2 strokes. Mad power to weight ratio and the gearing is 1st to hooolly sheeeet.
