I had in late 90' a wartburg 353 car and yes two stroke 50HP sounded like 250, no wonder this car was called as wartburgini. The sound of the engine at 130kph was incredible (only the sound, nothing else).
Two strokes depend on sonic shock waves travelling between diverging and converging cones. The piston ports open, expanding cone sucks exhaust and new charge into the exhaust header. The returning shock wave rams that gas back in before the exhaust port shuts. Peak power happens when piston speed (port open time) matches the pipe length. Small engines can rev high but the peak for a 125 cc is about 12000rpm. 250cc is slower because the speed of sound does not change and the distances inside the pipe are longer. 4 strokes have gas flows controlled by valves so they can rev higher.
Roger Tycholiz Honda did exactly that. They had eight gears to keep engine in its tiny power band. Walter Kaaden’s MZ two stroke 125s continued to blow them into the weeds. Kaaden understood harmonic pipe tuning and gas flow around a 2 stroke piston. He was the first to get 200bhp per litre and the first to see >30bhp from a 125.
@@rogertycholiz2218 The Honda 50 cc of 1962 was a single. The last race of the year in Japan, Honda won with a 50 cc twin. Their only 5 cylinder in the sixties were the 125 cc RC148 and RC149. Read my book "Honda's Four-Stroke Race HIstory 1954 ~ 1981".

Have to point out that not all 2 strokes are in need of drastic rebuilds as claimed, many Vespa's and Lambretta's did tens of thousands of miles without anything more than needing a spark plug and a air filter clean
true, but a 4 stroke often goes several times more then that between rebuilds. Most people never have to rebuild a 4 stroke, but most 2 stroke owners need to rebuild theirs (granted, it's much easier rebuilding a 2 stroke)

i love 2 strokes. ive had a few now, just sold a 1994 honda cr80, limiter was 14,000 RPM really fun little bike if your a small guy or girl.. felt like riding a bmx with an engine, great fun
2:48 in two strokes this valve is called the "power valve". It controls the flow out exhaust gas out of the engine, opening and closing depending upon the rpm of the engine, to improve power output throughout the rev range.
At the beginning you said that 2strokes make more power while using lower revs. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was the complete opposite. 4 strokes make more torque at a lower rpm. That's why people bog out going up a hill because they weren't keeping the rpm high enough. Where as my 4 stroke can power through the lower rpm and the 2 stroke just bogs and rpm drops.
Have you seen a four-stroke to make 400 hp/litre? F1 made around 300 hp/litre and revved up to 19,000 rpm. The same goes with the MotoGP engines. they are at like 240+hp/litre and still need to rev higher than a two-stroke. Just compare the Honda NSR500 and Honda RC211V for instance. There might be some regulation limits, but two-strokes just do twice the work (one bang every revolution while a four-stroke fires once per two revolutions).
VisioRacer wasn't asking which engine type is better, they both have their pro's and cons(I own both). Was asking specifically about the low end power of a 2stroke. They are known for having non, yet your intro said they do. Which is incorrect. Also, thank you for the quick reply! Love your video's and your English is improving! Thank you from the US. P.S. all my experience is from motorcycle engines. Don't know much about F1
Paul Kirk Two strokes makes more power at the same amount of rpm, or same power at lowers revs. Because every single rev have an explosion, while it takes 2 revs to make an explosion in a four strokes (for each cylinder).
My uncle drove a Kreidler 50cc 1978 and the following years in the german championship and 1979 at the grand prix at Hockenheim. I have been there at the age of 11. Great experience I will never forget. All the stars with nearly noch limits to go where you want to. I Have been in the tent of world champion Kenny Roberts Senior. Unbeleavable today.

Yes and addictive, im 53 and was in goose pimples watching that,still braking down in the middle of nowhere on em. Burie me with my Aprilia Rs250, 96 Rep and Kdx250
Kacper B ... you go back to school learn some English and how to respect ambiente and people with the disgrace of living around your noisy nuisances . That is "what you'll say about ...
I Ride a Kreidler myself. A Suzuki GN Powered bike wich doesnt have much to do with the original kreidlers exept the Design. My father had a Kreidler Florett RMC From the Late 70s and my grandfather had a regular Florett From the late 50s. Honestly to me nothing Beats a Kreidler (Florett RS). The Sound of the Van Veen is awesome
100cc kart engines from the late 90’s were up to about 21k. Mean piston speeds were higher than F1. Needed the overrrev in direct drive/single gear classes to ensure the engine was on the pipe to punch out of the tight infield sections. But we also replaced pistons every 40mins😂. Aircooled and no clutch. Lock it up, rear wheels lock up with it. Crazy times.
I took my ducati in for a service , the only loan bike the had was an Aprillia 250 ... it took the piss out of my riding ability ... 250 miles in a day , while i was working says everything about how much fun that bike was :-)
Raced a go-kart in the seventies that had an Italian built 100cc rotary valve Komet K-78 on it. Stock the engine put out 15hp at 12,000rpm. When modified it put out 25-30hp at 17,000rpm. That engine ripped and was so fast I always had to run 40lbs. heavier than the 100cc Yamahas that also ran in our class.
The valve you are talking about is a 'power valve'. There are different designs, but they all do the same thing and that's adjust the exhaust port height, changing the exhausts opening angle, increased duration and surface area. Takes the peakiness out of the engine and combined with a large capacity engine is an experience that should not be missed!!!
I still ride with my fingers over the clutch to this day incase of an engine seizure , even though I’ve got a four stroke Gsxr , a habit I developed from riding and thrashing two strokes in my youth :)
They'd probably all be from the early 1900's. The lowest revving modern bikes are probably Harley's and some large Japanese cruisers like the Yamaha XV1900 and Kawasaki VN2000.
MT-01 also have low rpm, I love seeing that bike go fast, because although u full throttled it all the way up to the red line, that bike still not screaming.
Royal Enfield made diesel motor bikes for the war, they would probably be the lowest revving. In 2005 Kawasaki made a diesel off road bike that made peak HP at 5500 but revved to a usable 1500-7000rpm.
I still have to repair my grandad´s Derbi Fenix (50cc) when i get a license this year. Greetings from Spain, and thank you for all your work. I know is not your style on the videos, but can you do one about the history of Eduardo Barreiros? He´s like a legend for me and for all the Galician mechanics.
hei there! the video is great, but still, i was watching the whole video and waited to see a TOMOS, a was a bit disappointed Tomos DM-GP; 19,5 PS at 16000 /min-1, max speed 204km/h!
I have a 92 vespa three gears with currently a 110cc, i have had to do a top end rebuild over 13 times over 100k km. This has been with a combination of: 50, 75, 102, 110, 125, 130, 144, and a 180cc cylinder. It's had 7 carbs, 3 exhausts, 4 suspension rebuilds. I spent 300 for the bike and have spent over 7k in mods and repairs. Probably the least practical bike ever, but nothing beats sitting on a piece of history.
Nino Brown Yeah that's true. Is your Simson modified? I am building a fuel injected am6 engine. And I'll see what it revs up to when I finish there project. As before my ignition limited it to 13.
Ruslan yeah it's heavily modiefied, one has an 80cc reed valve engine with custom made pipes and 30mm carburator. The othe is an old Simson Star from the 60s. It has a custom made crankshaft with more travel, the Original sleeve was removed, bored out and one with more diameter was put in, also 28mm Carb and Custom pipe. Has now 87cc but is rev limited by a long pipe to 10k due to a weak gearbox and overheating issues. But has good torque. A fuel injected am6 should be killer, you got Facebook or Insta Account to follow the build?
Don't get me wrong, I love 2-strokes (I had a Yamaha DT 125 LC and a TZR 250) but what I found really fascinating is that a road-going 4 cylinder, 4-stroke, 1000cc engine can be capable of doing 14000rpm. Most of these 2-stroke high-revving single cylinder engines were built for racing, so being that revvy was kind of expected. : )
Dude, your’e research on this subject looks impressive. I just cleaned about 2kg of carbon from a ts185 exhaust. Gotta love the blue smoke. Ps, you haven’t lived till you’ve heard an Inter 2 stroke diesel.
I love the smell of two stroke oil in the morning, it smells like checkered flag! When a two-stroke comes up on the pipe you better be tucked and tight 'cause your either going to do a wheelie or a burnout!
Actually the powervalve, not only does it make the power stroke longer at low rpm by lowering the exhaust port, it also retains heat inside the combustion chamber. Engine manufacturers discovered, that at certain RPM plasma appeared inside the combustion chamber. They also discovered, that the engine runs better and more efficiently when the plasma was present. This valve also helps widen the RPM range in which this plasma is present. Although the effect isn't very big, it's there. But most of the advantage from having a powervalve comes from lowering the exhaust port at low RPM and then opening it up when better gas flow is needed for high RPM.
I was lucky having a Father who was an engineer, he rebuilt motors for ford, vauxhall, land rover, mitsubuishi and many others so he had access to all the great tools and know how to make my little two strokes fly, i had a yamaha fizzy, FS1E, which was quick anyway, with tuning and a 28mm amal carb i could at a stretch pull 75mph out of it, i blew it up in the end, the con rod came through the casing, it was also rapid and i out stretched many bigger bikes, those were the days.
Back in the day all I had were two strokes. A Yamaha DT175 is probably my favourite bike, since I rode it for 5 years, on and off road. And my Yamaha DR350LC is deffo my favourite road bike. Light weight, good handling and mad engine! But torque? Let's not talk about torque. ;¬)
bizarre ...no mention of the RGV-250....especially the N model...1992...I had two of these, one with most of the genuine Suzuki Hop Up kit parts for it, the feather light expansion chambers, the SAPC and CDI control units, all the go fast bits. It was a psychopathic machine,excellent for carving up big sports bikes on the twisties like the Takaka Hill in Nelson New Zealand. In race trim, which I usually rode every where back in those days (!) it was about 125 Kg and the handling was superb, you could take nearly any line you liked and never get in trouble, apart from when on a hot summers day the tar melted and I lost the front coming into a corner too fast, went right over the bars and ended up in a bush, the bike was still upright and barely got a scratch, just one of a few loose moves at light speed. Amazed that i lived through all that.!
Now do a video featuring the early Honda 50cc racers. Double overhead cams and err 22000 rpm! Shame you didn’t include the old MZ 125 in the two stroke category . The designer defected to the west, well Suzuki where he designed their race engines! But nice video

4 strokes have gas flows controlled by valves so they can rev higher.

i love 2 strokes. ive had a few now, just sold a 1994 honda cr80, limiter was 14,000 RPM really fun little bike if your a small guy or girl.. felt like riding a bmx with an engine, great fun
I am so happy you included the Suzuki RG150 in this list, i have one with only 7000km on the odo
I owned one a few years back, still to this day my favourite bike I've had yet
fucking sunday warm weather riders
my racer still had over 35k on the clock
@@ohhi5237 I still have mine, has 10000 on the clock now but haven't riden it in ages, I have a Bandit 1200 now
Still remember those good ol days having my single cyl Yamaha two stroke! Love to rev it high especially!
unbelievable that a 500 2- stroke can beat a 1000 4- stroke.
Good old times :(
markus w it can Produce the 1.5x Power Output at the same cubic capacity
Markus Barry (7)Sheene can vouch for that ..
2:48 in two strokes this valve is called the "power valve". It controls the flow out exhaust gas out of the engine, opening and closing depending upon the rpm of the engine, to improve power output throughout the rev range.
At the beginning you said that 2strokes make more power while using lower revs. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was the complete opposite. 4 strokes make more torque at a lower rpm. That's why people bog out going up a hill because they weren't keeping the rpm high enough. Where as my 4 stroke can power through the lower rpm and the 2 stroke just bogs and rpm drops.
Have you seen a four-stroke to make 400 hp/litre? F1 made around 300 hp/litre and revved up to 19,000 rpm. The same goes with the MotoGP engines. they are at like 240+hp/litre and still need to rev higher than a two-stroke. Just compare the Honda NSR500 and Honda RC211V for instance. There might be some regulation limits, but two-strokes just do twice the work (one bang every revolution while a four-stroke fires once per two revolutions).
VisioRacer wasn't asking which engine type is better, they both have their pro's and cons(I own both). Was asking specifically about the low end power of a 2stroke. They are known for having non, yet your intro said they do. Which is incorrect. Also, thank you for the quick reply! Love your video's and your English is improving! Thank you from the US.
P.S. all my experience is from motorcycle engines. Don't know much about F1
I said lower rpm, not low. And that's what I further explained in my comment above. Thanks and cheers
VisioRacer But they don't make power at lower rpm's. They make all their horsepower at high rpm. No low end torque is their only down fall.
Paul Kirk Two strokes makes more power at the same amount of rpm, or same power at lowers revs. Because every single rev have an explosion, while it takes 2 revs to make an explosion in a four strokes (for each cylinder).
My uncle drove a Kreidler 50cc 1978 and the following years in the german championship and 1979 at the grand prix at Hockenheim. I have been there at the age of 11. Great experience I will never forget. All the stars with nearly noch limits to go where you want to.
I Have been in the tent of world champion Kenny Roberts Senior. Unbeleavable today.

Yes and addictive, im 53 and was in goose pimples watching that,still braking down in the middle of nowhere on em. Burie me with my Aprilia Rs250, 96 Rep and Kdx250
What you'll say about lowest revving gas engines?
There is something similar considered, sure
VisioRacer unfortunately I can't find that...
Kacper B ... you go back to school learn some English and how to respect ambiente and people with the disgrace of living around your noisy nuisances . That is "what you'll say about ...
Manuel Luis your wish is my command...
Harleys
I Ride a Kreidler myself. A Suzuki GN Powered bike wich doesnt have much to do with the original kreidlers exept the Design. My father had a Kreidler Florett RMC From the Late 70s and my grandfather had a regular Florett From the late 50s. Honestly to me nothing Beats a Kreidler (Florett RS). The Sound of the Van Veen is awesome
Only Thing a Kreidler fears are Sachs engines.
Nice! There's something about two strokes...
100cc kart engines from the late 90’s were up to about 21k. Mean piston speeds were higher than F1. Needed the overrrev in direct drive/single gear classes to ensure the engine was on the pipe to punch out of the tight infield sections.
But we also replaced pistons every 40mins😂. Aircooled and no clutch. Lock it up, rear wheels lock up with it. Crazy times.
That 'Bultaco 50' has a Kreidler engine, with water cooling and rotative disc inlet!
And where did you get that total nonsense?
your chanel is easily one of the best motor related chanels!
Love 2 stroke engines.
my CR250 elsinore w/ CR500 front end was super funky
My personal favorite engines
I took my ducati in for a service , the only loan bike the had was an Aprillia 250 ... it took the piss out of my riding ability ... 250 miles in a day , while i was working says everything about how much fun that bike was :-)
Thx from thailand.👍👍👍💘💘💘 #RG150veryFAST
Raced a go-kart in the seventies that had an Italian built 100cc rotary valve Komet K-78 on it. Stock the engine put out 15hp at 12,000rpm. When modified it put out 25-30hp at 17,000rpm. That engine ripped and was so fast I always had to run 40lbs. heavier than the 100cc Yamahas that also ran in our class.
i love yamaha rxz
The valve you are talking about is a 'power valve'. There are different designs, but they all do the same thing and that's adjust the exhaust port height, changing the exhausts opening angle, increased duration and surface area. Takes the peakiness out of the engine and combined with a large capacity engine is an experience that should not be missed!!!
ring... bing... bing... bing tinny sound from expansion pipes! But, but, but, look at all that SMOKE! what about the Errrrrth!
She'll be fine. If you ain't smokin you ain't strokin 😁
Yeasts in a ground and waters have a different opinion. Micro droplets of hydrocarbons are tasty for them.
Fantastic! Anyone know how many of these get aircraft the Goodwood festival of speed Please?
V3 50 ccm doing 200 km/h on 16th gear. Now I've seen it all.
I still ride with my fingers over the clutch to this day incase of an engine seizure , even though I’ve got a four stroke Gsxr , a habit I developed from riding and thrashing two strokes in my youth :)
But really, where is Tomos? 50cc 200kmh....
jishimoari the real deal my friend
i thought thomas is a train. thomas and friends
Blaž Benčič tomos, the best
jishimoari where is tomos famous? I live in germany and only know them from the Internet
Aaron schulz Tomos was racing many many years ago, but it goes 205 kmh
Awesome video! Ended up here because I have 2stroke myself that revs to 13000 rpm’s
Now do the lowest revving bikes
They'd probably all be from the early 1900's. The lowest revving modern bikes are probably Harley's and some large Japanese cruisers like the Yamaha XV1900 and Kawasaki VN2000.
Probably the Rocket 3, thanks to it's tremendous torque?
MT-01 also have low rpm, I love seeing that bike go fast, because although u full throttled it all the way up to the red line, that bike still not screaming.
Royal Enfield made diesel motor bikes for the war, they would probably be the lowest revving. In 2005 Kawasaki made a diesel off road bike that made peak HP at 5500 but revved to a usable 1500-7000rpm.
Gamer The Banning easy its those armchairs with a brigs and straton oops sorry i meant harleys
Lo mejor de las pequeñas bestias!!!
Its mainly aprilias that need rebuild after rebuild . I no this because I own one and my bank balance hates it 😂
AWESOME SOUNDS! IM LOVING IT!
20 000 Rpm? This is madness! Я в шоке.
stay woke
причём если оно обороты снижает, то и моща падает катастрофически. Резонансный двухтакт как он есть. Для этого и 16 передач.
J’ai eu une Suzuki RGT 250 2temps et c’était sans nul doute la meilleure des motos de ma vie ❤❤❤
Kreidler💪🏻
I still have to repair my grandad´s Derbi Fenix (50cc) when i get a license this year.
Greetings from Spain, and thank you for all your work.
I know is not your style on the videos, but can you do one about the history of Eduardo Barreiros? He´s like a legend for me and for all the Galician mechanics.
Tomos smoke them all!!!
Did anyone else think he was gonna run into the woods at 4:23?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 I got worried.
hei there! the video is great, but still, i was watching the whole video and waited to see a TOMOS, a was a bit disappointed
Tomos DM-GP; 19,5 PS at 16000 /min-1, max speed 204km/h!
Yes! There should be Tomos in this video!!!
@@matejbrezovsek6695 And the video author, correct me if I'm wrong, is from Slovenia, land of Tomos.
@@Istoeumapemba Sorry to say, the Tomos racers were an absolute flop when it came to GP racing!
6:30 you know your bike is crazy when the tach starts at 8k
what about tomos?
Domen Ujčič there are many tomos racing bikes starting from d5 to gp77 going 220kmh and specially d9 bike with 9 gears
I have a 92 vespa three gears with currently a 110cc, i have had to do a top end rebuild over 13 times over 100k km. This has been with a combination of: 50, 75, 102, 110, 125, 130, 144, and a 180cc cylinder. It's had 7 carbs, 3 exhausts, 4 suspension rebuilds. I spent 300 for the bike and have spent over 7k in mods and repairs.
Probably the least practical bike ever, but nothing beats sitting on a piece of history.
What about the 50cc AM6 engine? Standard they rev to 12000 rpm, but when modified they rev a lot higher.
Yeah and Derbi engine's
Yeah but modified every two stroke eingine revs higher. My sweet little Simson revs up to 13.
Nino Brown Yeah that's true. Is your Simson modified? I am building a fuel injected am6 engine. And I'll see what it revs up to when I finish there project. As before my ignition limited it to 13.
highend bidalot 16k rpm
Ruslan yeah it's heavily modiefied, one has an 80cc reed valve engine with custom made pipes and 30mm carburator. The othe is an old Simson Star from the 60s. It has a custom made crankshaft with more travel, the Original sleeve was removed, bored out and one with more diameter was put in, also 28mm Carb and Custom pipe. Has now 87cc but is rev limited by a long pipe to 10k due to a weak gearbox and overheating issues. But has good torque. A fuel injected am6 should be killer, you got Facebook or Insta Account to follow the build?
Don't get me wrong, I love 2-strokes (I had a Yamaha DT 125 LC and a TZR 250) but what I found really fascinating is that a road-going 4 cylinder, 4-stroke, 1000cc engine can be capable of doing 14000rpm. Most of these 2-stroke high-revving single cylinder engines were built for racing, so being that revvy was kind of expected. : )
yep mines reedline is 14,750 and its a 1000cc 4 cyl...Ducatis v4r does 16,500 stock and is 1000cc too
2stroke or nothing
Dude, your’e research on this subject looks impressive. I just cleaned about 2kg of carbon from a ts185 exhaust. Gotta love the blue smoke.
Ps, you haven’t lived till you’ve heard an Inter 2 stroke diesel.
10:10 lol that fart rocket
Mr Ford Shelby lol yeah that thing was screaming and going like 20
Bring two strokes back! 😎
where is the Cagiva Mito Evo III 125ccm from 1997.. most beautyful bike in the world ever..
I love the smell of two stroke oil in the morning, it smells like checkered flag! When a two-stroke comes up on the pipe you better be tucked and tight 'cause your either going to do a wheelie or a burnout!
cagiva mito ???
Missing.
Actually the powervalve, not only does it make the power stroke longer at low rpm by lowering the exhaust port, it also retains heat inside the combustion chamber. Engine manufacturers discovered, that at certain RPM plasma appeared inside the combustion chamber. They also discovered, that the engine runs better and more efficiently when the plasma was present. This valve also helps widen the RPM range in which this plasma is present. Although the effect isn't very big, it's there. But most of the advantage from having a powervalve comes from lowering the exhaust port at low RPM and then opening it up when better gas flow is needed for high RPM.
What about Tomos?
one of your best vids yet
love the two stroke stuff
Are they incapable of idling ?
Repeatedly revving the engine is so annoying.
Its very hard to adjust idle with so oversized carburators
With this old carbs ist nearly impossible at low rpm
Nothing in this engine likes low rpm
yeah the're not,,,
having mods for higher rpm sacrifices d idling...
ones it idle low like d standard specs it wud stop
Low rpm will foul the plugs and cause misfires,hence the reving to keep the plugs clean,2 stroke engines will load up.
I was lucky having a Father who was an engineer, he rebuilt motors for ford, vauxhall, land rover, mitsubuishi and many others so he had access to all the great tools and know how to make my little two strokes fly, i had a yamaha fizzy, FS1E, which was quick anyway, with tuning and a 28mm amal carb i could at a stretch pull 75mph out of it, i blew it up in the end, the con rod came through the casing, it was also rapid and i out stretched many bigger bikes, those were the days.
Where is the honda nsr 125?
Back in the day all I had were two strokes. A Yamaha DT175 is probably my favourite bike, since I rode it for 5 years, on and off road. And my Yamaha DR350LC is deffo my favourite road bike. Light weight, good handling and mad engine!
But torque? Let's not talk about torque. ;¬)
wordreet I started off at 16 with a TS50x and then onto a gp125 and then a Suzuki X7 highly modified and then onto a nsr400
KR-1 ❤❤❤
bizarre ...no mention of the RGV-250....especially the N model...1992...I had two of these, one with most of the genuine Suzuki Hop Up kit parts for it, the feather light expansion chambers, the SAPC and CDI control units, all the go fast bits. It was a psychopathic machine,excellent for carving up big sports bikes on the twisties like the Takaka Hill in Nelson New Zealand. In race trim, which I usually rode every where back in those days (!) it was about 125 Kg and the handling was superb, you could take nearly any line you liked and never get in trouble, apart from when on a hot summers day the tar melted and I lost the front coming into a corner too fast, went right over the bars and ended up in a bush, the bike was still upright and barely got a scratch, just one of a few loose moves at light speed. Amazed that i lived through all that.!
Smells heavenly with castor bean oil
Racing 2 stroke engines use castor based vegetable oils , and they smell devine
@@BigBadLoneWolf And fueled with Ethanol, they got even more powerful.
In Brazilian karting, Ethanol+Castor oil is the supreme combo for performance.
Now do a video featuring the early Honda 50cc racers. Double overhead cams and err 22000 rpm! Shame you didn’t include the old MZ 125 in the two stroke category . The designer defected to the west, well Suzuki where he designed their race engines! But nice video
