Title: Anyone heard any rumors about any 2014 2-strokes?
Post by: Watson777 on January 18, 2013, 03:53:17 AM
Just wondering if anyone has seen any supposed spy photos or heard any rumors? Is Yamaha gonna do something other than BNG or is Suzuki gonna release the aluminum framed 2-strokes that people were claiming earlier in 2012? I know there were pictures of alum zooks floating around but were those really protos or were they someones bikes that were done by Service or MPS? Anyone.....?

global recession has retarded development of new bikes. Too much uncertainty in the market to risk it.
I think a slew of dependable 2t's , low cost maintenance and an alternative to 4t's , would boost commerce in the motorsport arena. But it requires an investment and foresight  by the manufacturers. Good luck with that....

Too right mate.

I'm crossing my fingers for a DFI machine from KTM. Of course I'll almost certainly be disappointed. Some engine mods would be good from KTM and Yamaha. And suspension mods would be good for the katoom too. Yamaha needs engine mods more than KTM but both would be great. Of course its unlikely Yamaha will be jumping on that train. I would like to buy a 2014 125 from KTM but if its only minor updates I'd rather just pick up a later model and save money for when they release an earthshattering design. Or IF.

You bet me too it. :P

Unless the FIM & AMA change the rules you wont see anymore Japanese MX 2 strokes.
The European manufactor's mean while will continue to bring out new 2 stroke enduro machines.
That's what I'm guessing.
