Any fans of 2 strokes?

[Oldman99]

Stumbled onto a Kawasaki KH606. I like the simplicity of 2 strokes, but this is pushing it.

The H2 was a 750cc triple and it only had about 74 hp at 6800 rpm.
I dont see this thing being any much better with 7 cylinders.

No garage is complete without a stinkwheel mine has this one and once I find the right Yamaha RD that'll be joining the fleet

My favorite 2-stroke remains the one I had two of:

2 stroke fan? YES! I hope to own a proper street only (no enduro bike) stroker someday.
For now I get my premix smoke fix from a 60s era motor scooter with 4.2 horsepower of "fury".
It is fun though.

Only 74? In it's day it was the horsepower king.

Cycle World's favorite is the RD400.

So there is the real "widow maker"

RD350 was my first street bike. The "hit" scared the snot out of me, not enough to stop WOT!

Nothing like the way a highly tuned two stroke comes on.

Wish they were still produced for the street. My best handling bike is probably this:

So there is the real "widow maker"

I actually owned a widow maker. I bought my '73 Z1 from my cousin's best friend's widow.

Loved my rds. 350LC from France was the nicest one I owned.

Heres an interesting swap if my 450 engine ever calls it a day...
(skip to the 49 secound point)

Someone here started a snowmobile engine swap a while back, but the thread dropped off of the map.

[Oldman99]

Yeah, I just found it.

Looks to have the corning capabilities of a lowered Fatboy with two flat tires.

Couple more pots and the side stand is redundant.
Have you seen the far side, the kick start is far far away.
