Two stroke V four stroke

Postby Jonno » Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:47 pm

The two stroke isnt dead http://www.sae.org/mags/AEI/POWER/8157



Does honda rule the bike world?


Have a read through the articles

"Shocking costs of a four stroke"

"Shocking costs of a four stroke part 2"

"Shocking costs of a four stroke part 3"

"Part four, Two stroke rebuild costs"

"What caused the four stroke fiasco part 5"


Interesting read, conspiracy perhaps?

Mate I remember a similar article to that one about the Orbital injection in the dim past. My dad back in the '70 said that Orbital, then a small Perth based (I think) company, would be one to watch. From memory they have moved most R & D to fuel injection and were aiming at supplying FI systems to major manufacturers.

I still have a soft spot for 2 strokes and it seems that they are not yet finished. 8)

Orbital engine technology was awesome- Aprilia SR50 Ditech uses that technology and does over 100km/h from a 50cc two stroke- Aussie ones are speed limited tho - to 50km/h. :shock:
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R :) Yeah I like Kawasakis.

Jonno, your fucking dreaming mate......... :)

You may find the odd obscure backyard company attempting to revive them. But, it will be fleeting at best. ;)

I do dream a bit but I think you have been asleep and a few minutes of googling would show that it is far from dead ;)

Are you a 2st denier?


Get it on the pipe :twisted:
