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?

interesting reading.
shoulda brought a 2banga

it mentions jap bikes only tho

ahhhh true true
id hate to think id need to replace parts (apart from oil n filters) after 10hrs.....
and 15-20hr engine service life
thatd have to be full racing id like to think....

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.

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.

I read that again and thought you said shed

That may be why he built his shed though.......for some quiet time alone

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
