I don't really like motoUSA that much, but from time to time they actually make some decent videos... Such as this one.

And there is an actual update made to the bike :O, and I'm not talking about different stickers, they have a new exhaust apparently, well at least it looks different.

General Two Stroke Talk / Romaniacs

« on: June 28, 2010, 03:02:10 AM »

I don't know how many of you have heard of this race, but it's pretty big here in
Europe and many say it's the toughest Hard enduro race there is. The sixth edition of this competition is now under way. I always liked Romaniacs because of two reasons:

Firstly, there are soooo many two strokes there . Safe to say they outnumber thumpers by far. I have a hard time imagining a four stroke doing some of those things that the two strokes do out there, and I feel sorry for those who try and race on a four stroke .

Secondly of course because this race is awesome .This year, on the first day, only 30 percent of all PRO class racers finished. ONLY 1 out of 60 or so EXPERT class racers finished, and none of the HOBBY class made it (about 80 participants). And this is just the first day .

Some of my countrymen tried to tackle this challenge last year. They practically destroyed the bike (it was a nice 250 cr) and made it to maybe day three if I remember right.

To give you the idea here's the video of this year's first day:

And some interresting stuff from years before:

I dream to try and do this myself some day, maybe even finish .
