Cool, it sounds very innovative. If he can make a 125 and 250 that can run with high-tech 4-strokes twice their size, then I will be amazed.

If this engine works as good as they say it does then the ama might give the four strokes a 100cc more in each class.

Yeah, you're right there. This engine and any like it are the direct enemy of the OEMs, the AMA, and MXSports.

Thats what i was afraid of.

Wouldn't it be cool to have the plethora of British MX bikes reborn using a common engine; Villiers, Greeves, Cotton, AJS, Rickman...then through in the American's like FMF, DG...and even the Japanese Mugen.

Instead, we have to live in the real world dominated by the "Big 4 (+1)" and no kit bikes becasue of a disfunctional production rule.

Sorry, it's BC (Before Coffee).

Yeah, but it leaves the market open for a premix smell deodorant!

Hhahaha, I remember that there was a premix oil (IPONE if my memory is ok) with strawberry scent!!! (Don't be shy and rise the hand all of you which used it)
Really I'm not worried for the smell or the blue smoke, but I worry for the fun factor (power delivery, ease of maintenance, light weight) of the 2 stroke. That is why I love those bikes!

Guys, we don't smell the bike while riding. What I'm more worried about is the sound. If that changes I will be sad.
