I'm one of those weirdos that never saw the attraction of road going two strokes.. hmy:

Horrible tinny sound, and no engine braking to speak of, not to mention the clouds of smoke from badly tuned examples.

However, I realise I'm in the minority and that some peeps love 'em.

Edit to add.. I do like the smell of Castrol 'R' though... (thumbs)

Rode my '78 Suzuki X7 into work today as we finish early on a Friday and office smells of Silkolene two stroke from my gear, for first half hour people asking 'what's that smell?' - lovely (thumbs)

Must update that pic, now wears piggy back shocks (that actually have some damping!), rebuilt motor and chain that doesn't slap the swinging arm - same crappy front brake though hmy:

am in a same boat as you. even though used to own, race and enjoy riding one, still prefer 4t and don't really understand the attraction to them

I love them (thumbs)

I took my H2 on the Distinguished Gentlemens Ride and on the way home stopped for fuel, while I was paying a group of 4 bikes pulled up at the Little Thief by the petrol station and when I started the bike all heads instantly swivelled to see what was making all the noise

I've got Higgspeed GP expansion chambers on it now and it really does sound like a period race bike.

when I smell that two stroke smell it always reminds me of when I had my rd250e when I was 17 years old,good memory's.

I use to regularly go up to Blackpool to do a delivery to firm close to Blackpool college at Bispham.
One day while I'm there I hear the familiar sound of a 2T kettle being fired up in the industrial unit next door, and the waft of castrol R catches my nose, so as soon as I can I go take a look. It turns out that the guys in the unit manufacture bespoke 2T stainless exhaust systems onsite, and the unit is an Aladdins cave is full of classic 2 strokes, and I'm like a kid in a sweet shop

Earlier this summer my wife took her RS250 out for a spin on a Sunday and it ended with a pint and a dinner in a pub by a canal.

I nearly fell over laughing at the venom poured out by an irate woman who thought the 2 stroke smoke screen was going to kill the children in the pub garden :whistle:

That'll be Higgspeed where the chambers for my 750 came from, he'll make expansion chambers for any 2 stroke you throw at him.

That's the fella, seeing the bikes there took me back to when I had a GT250A
