General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Finally 125's again

Thats 1 good thing about the internet; the 2 Stroke messages spread all over the globe.
We stand close to the dawn of a new era. Changes are in the air...!
2 Strokes must no longer be sidelined, bring them back to the BIG show!
The 2T will make a great comeback somehow..

Yea, his move doesn't have to be a bad thing.
I don't know if he is anti 2 stroke, heck it might even be a good thing
for the company's 2T line!
If KTM can get The Man De Coster to be positive about 2 Strokes on American TV,
it would be good!

yeah it's a shame they don't really make mayor upgrades to the YZ's.
Altho there is still hope for the future!
Here in The Netherlands we have Tragter Racing, they deliver race ready RM144's and 250's.
Some Kawa dealers can still get KX 2 strokes.
And also van Der Laar Racing,
they offer complete YZ144's with up to date body kits.
But actually the are still too expensive, for just different plastics...

All brands 2 strokes, exept Honda, are still available here.
But these days, everybody is going for KTM,TM ,Gasgas, Huskies and now also the Husa 2t's.
As these brands have real passion for 2 strokes and keep on refreshing them. 
Yet i am still not sure if DeCosters move to KTM will be positive for the brand's long term 2T department....

I hope he will be ok in time for Phoenix.
If not, put someone else on the bike, untill Cedric gets back.
We need all exposure we can get.
Will be interesting to hear what the announcers in the commetator boot have to say about it all.
When will they stop brainwashing the spectators and fans?
I don't understand why Emig, Carmichael and other commentators are praising that 4 stroke hype?
They should be telling the truth, and keep people udated...

The Gassers are great bikes.
very complete package for the money!
I found a 300 2-Stroke comparison test.
It's in german tho..
but it's shows an interesting figure of manitenance comparison costs on the 300's.
Over here, spare parts for the gassers are the cheapest, and it's got great 6 speed gearbox.
If you spend enough saddle time with the GasGas and get the suspension/handling dialed for you,
it can run with the best of the best! New Fantic 300 also uses the gasgas engine!
Here in this test the TM300EN was the favourite and had the mayority of the votes, but it's very personal:

Husqvarna will be a brand to watch.
They've always been willing to think out of the box and dare to be different.
Rotax makes some stuff for BMW, they should help Husky with a new revolutionairy 2T now!
Everybody in The Netherlands seems to be going back to 2 strokes, or are at least
concidering the option.
We have new sound rules as of april 1st, 2011.
On all MX track sound must be no more than 95.2 dB.
All 4 stroke owners are getting frustated a bit...
While the 2 strokes seem to be ok with a good silencer.
Will be a very intersting year!  
Although 'there are still a few things unclear,
at least 3 insiders have claimed that we will deffinately see less 4 strokes on the tracks!
