General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Who's is racing a late model 2T in 2010?

« on: December 23, 2009, 04:09:12 PM »

What's late model you ask.....how bout we consider anything after 2000 [or close to it] for the sake of this thread. Perhaps someone else could start a "vintage" race thread?

What form of racing is it?

And why a 2T?

I'm planning on racing MX for the first time in 18 years [NESC] on a CR500 conversion.

I've never even ridden a modern 4T and never considered buying one. I'm a gas and go guy so I wasn't into the more expensive/complex 4T motors so that ruled out used ones also.

Started my "come back" on an 03 YZ250 that was probably fast enough for my 52 year old body/skills  but I got caught up in the CR500 thing and as I was planning a conversion, I found a killer deal on a conversion so I bought it.

It's in an 05 CRF so my motor isn't "current" just the rest of the bike.

im racing motocross on a 2000 cr125. i had an 04kx250f that was far from stock. i mean dont get me rong the 4 strokes have their advantages but its just not the same as a good ol 2smoke. the smell, the sound,the powerband, and not to mention the weight difference . im 24 grew up riding nothing but 2smokes and i often wonder what happened to the sport of motocross. i really dont care that im one of the only 2smokes on the track it gets me alot of attention plus it pi$$es off these guys on brand new 4strokes with thousands of dollars invested in them when they get spanked by a bike 10 yrs old. the bottom line is its not wht u ride its how u ride it. besides i honestly think the older bikes are built a lot stronger than present day bikes. well maybe thats because i never had a brand new bike.lol . the best advantage is the price of maintnence is a hell of alot cheaper and easier on a 2smoke. i guess its all opinion but my heart beat is ping ping ping.
