General Two Stroke Talk / Rumors confirmed?

« on: April 23, 2011, 01:43:16 PM »

While attending a local race last weekend i heard an interesting rumor that Suzuki was bringing back the 125 for 2012. This led me to make a few phone calls and not only have i found out that this very likely but was told that suzuki will have RM85s RM125s AND RM250s back in the states next year! This comes straight from what is probably the largest and biggest name in suzukis in the north east Jeff Cernic. I really hope its true cause if it is i see a new 125 for the kid and a new 250 for dad in my future.

Willy Musgrave (422) has been racing a 2001 Honda CR250 two-stroke as part of an upcoming MXA story. He likes it and says he will never return to a four-stroke.

Just saw this at MXA and had to share!

General Two Stroke Talk / RM265!

« on: November 18, 2010, 09:55:47 AM »

Wow where to start? Well I blew up my bike at the unadilla two sroke challenge back in august and it was pretty ugly. The rod bearing blew apart the rod bent into a p shape and smacked the cylinder and took a chunk out of it everything had damage. Now the good news! Its back together it was less than 600 bucks total for all parts and labor to rebuild. And now its a 265! Holy shit I wish i woukld have built this motor years ago! Worth every penny! Smooth controlled hit, still revs and pulls from bottom to the moon! Anyone considering this i would highly advise you to go for it! Oh and to also avoid HOT ROD CRANK KITS!!!!! Not worth the few bucks you save for the headache they can cause!

General Two Stroke Talk / Dirt rider YZ250 review

« on: March 31, 2010, 08:30:12 AM »

2010 YZ250 Riding Impression
Something For Everyone
March, 2010 issue of Dirt Rider
By Chris Denison
Photography by Jesse Ziegler
Here at Dirt Rider, we're pretty picky about our bikes-like 'vegan at a barbeque' picky. So picky, in fact, that rarely does our crew of test riders and staffers test a bike that we all can have fun on. More often than not, the perfect machine for one guy will be a nightmare for somebody who is perhaps a bit faster, fatter or older, and we end up just agreeing to disagree on what we like. We even have one guy on staff (I'm not going to name names, so we'll just call him "Carl") that will write off a motorcycle if he doesn't like the seat. Now that's picky!

However, all of our differences were seemingly set aside at the recent Yamaha YZ250 two-stroke intro. On that sunny day at Glen Helen, we finally found a bike that everyone can enjoy. No matter who we put on the bike-a fast pro racer, a 125-loving weekend warrior or a vet tandem bicycle rider-all our guys came back from their laps on the YZ250 with gigantic, mud-stained grins. We even took the bike to a different track just to be sure, and without so much as setting the sag between riders (something that we'll typically do up to a dozen times on some test days), the Yamaha was a universal fun creator for all who rode it.

What makes this bike so awesome isn't groundbreaking technology (you still have to jet it) or innovative revisions (the only changes for 2010 are the stickers on the shrouds). Rather, the YZ250 is an addictive little package due to its potent motor, predictable handling and wholly universal application. To begin with, the powerplant on this bike produces a crisp, strong serving of low-end lug that escalates into good, clean, on-the-pipe power. The response is excellent, and the delivery as the motor winds up is incredibly controllable. Up top, the bike continues to bark before finally signing off, at which point (or, ideally, a little bit before) you simply grab another gear and let it eat all over again. The Yamaha doesn't require as much clutching on an MX track as you may think, and if you simply carry your speed and keep the revs in the peak portion of the powerband (say that five times fast), you won't miss that 450cc four-stroke of yours one bit.

As far as handling, the Yamaha has a race-proven chassis that stands up to just about whatever you can throw at it. From big braking bumps to hard hits and G-outs, the YZ250 retains a light, nimble feeling without being flimsy or unstable. Sure, the stock suspension may be slightly soft for heavier or faster riders, but overall the motorcycle is incredible controllable and surprisingly easy to ride. In the corners, the Yamaha shines with excellent tracking and a settled, consistent feel, not at all what you would expect from a non-thumper. In fact, the lack of vibration on the YZ250 really gives the rider a lot of confidence, especially at higher speeds.

In terms of application, the YZ250 is as well rounded as they come. We've yet to test the 2010 anywhere but on MX tracks, but we spent plenty of time off-road with the near-identical (minus those graphics) 2009 machine and had plenty of fun with it off-road as well. From tight trails to flowing single track and back to EnduroCross-style rocks and logs, there isn't a lot that the YZ250 won't conquer. Additionally, we know from experience that these machines are easy to maintain, cheap to own and still incredibly popular with aftermarket companies. Whether you want to make a 450-slaughtering race bike or an armored-out woods weapon, the mods are easy to find and even easier to install.

Over the course of the next few weeks, we'll be putting even more time on the YZ250 before featuring a full test on the bike in Dirt Rider magazine. Also, we've already begun testing exhaust systems on the YZ for an upcoming pipe shootout, so you two-stroke lovers out there will see even more of your favorite bikes in print. Stay tuned!

General Two Stroke Talk / sign of the times?

« on: March 31, 2010, 08:01:26 AM »

while chechin out the District 6 classifieds for a newer steed all i could find two stroke related was wanted 250 2stroke. none for sale. Example A = 2006 KX250F FMF Powerbomb with 4.1, vpe suspension, New Topend with about 10 hrs, Renthal Fatbars, Protaper Top Triple Clamp, and msr chain guide.
extras: Renthal bars, stock triple clamp, and 2 extra airfilters.
Will trade for Nice 2004 or newer 250 2 stroke.

As has been mentioned B4 2010 will be the year of the return of the 2stroke! Braaappp!
