Save the 2 stroke!

- Watch this vid and see if it gets your adrenaline pumping and makes you want to ride. We can't let these awesome machines disappear! If they are honest with themselves even the most die hard 4 stroke fans will admit they have more fun on a smoker and there is nothing like a 2 stroke on the pipe to put a smile on your face. Sure with the current capacity regulations four strokes have the advantage and are easier to ride,but you have to ask yourself do you want easy or do you want FUN. Do yourself a favor throw your leg over a 2 stroke, turn the throttle and never look back. Put the fun back in MX.

I love 2 strokes because of the smell, ease of maintenance, and that awesome buzzy sound. I want a 2 stroke dirt bike and a 2 stroke saab.
just got my first bike today, 2001 kx250. Love every part of it. Long love the two stroke
Ha my first bike was a 2002 kx250, got it at the end of spring this year. Really great bike
Wether two strokes die out or not, they will always have a space in my heart.
That was a sick power slide at 1:56 !
i hate that you can not describe the feeling of a 2 stroke in any video or text its just ... amazing!
Angry chainsaw bikes are awesome.
I am 14 and a 2 stroke rider, and always will be...lets get 2 strokes back on top
mx&bmx wtf are u always gonna be 14? Wierd
Its always on top! NEVER 4 STROKE!!!WHOS WITH ME?!

We could put it this way too: Because of four stroke bikes, tracks are beeing shut down because of the loud noises. two strokers are loud as well, but their sound doesn't travel as far as a four stroker.
Also the fact that most people have changed their pipes over the years to make them twice as loud, on both 2 and 4 strokes.
I have a packet of baffle material from the late 1980s which has a written statement talking about self regulated noise control. Nobody listened. We lost more and more tracks as motorcycles off road and on road became known as unreasonably noisy. They're actually manufactured to be reasonably quiet.
Thanks for taking the time to put this great vid of 2 stroke ripping together. I had recently put a deposit down on a new Husqvarna rockstar addition fc450. I just changed the deposit for an 18 husky tc250 instead, maybe a 2019 if I can wait that long. lol
I'm looking forward to having some good fun racing on my new 2 smoker!
That's the sound of a the 2 stroke buzzsaw chopping up 4 strokes. That fender cam is awesome. Sounds good too from the engine resonating to the camera. I need that sound as my ringtone.
I don't see why everyone hates four strokes so much. To be honest, I like both.
4 strokes are heavier and cost more they have more moving parts so there more complicated but I do like both as well
I don't hate 4 strokes but damn they are expensive. And they are getting more and more complicated with all the electronics. Plus all the valves, shimming, etc. There will come a point where they are so complicated that they will be too expensive and complicated to play ride them. They will be race only. If you are just trail riding or playing, I don't see any benefit to a 4 stroke. For MX racing, yes 4 stroke is the way to go.
well I agree went out with my buddy kx 450f and water got in the oil and turned it nice and milky . even though I have gone to 4 stroke now days for green lanes and endro 2 stroke make it a lot more fun
Second hand value the 2 strokes are holding the value a lot more
& the 2 stroke oil smell!!!
Good memories brought back-thx, used to race mx in Manitoba in the '80s
I have done it...Im now riding a YZ 250 and im lovin´ it!!
I now realise how much fun i missed with using a 4 stroke
2 stroke 250 won the Canadian motocross pro nationals 2 years in a row. 2014-2015
Nice vid , got the raspy addictive sound of the 2Stroke powerband that we all love and would hate to see dissapear!
keep up with the videos mate, very good. Love all the two stroke stuff a few of the tracks i recognise from when i was racing keep up the good work!
Easy to maintain, very (VERY!!!!!) fun to ride!!!!
As the saying goes, if you aint mixing gas you aint kicking ass.
I miss my CR 500, but I love my 75 H2 750.
2 Strokes are not banned!!! ricky renner just rode one last year and qualified 42nd in the 250 class at redbud!! I love 2 strokes and ride a cr125 but i also have owned a few 4 stroke and im not a closed minded idiot and as much as i love a 2 stroke know that they will never be competitive with 4 strokes a professional who wants all torque while remaining completely in control will always pick a 4 stroke due to torque and the smoothness of power
Throw $10000 into any 2 stroke like you would a 4 stroke and see who comes out on top.
No shit dude so does anyone else who races
I recently bought a 2 stroke! Came across from a 4 stroke and I love the switch I made
the sound of the bike is one of the best parts of riding!!!
you are just one of a kind, 2 stroke diesels sound like chubaca takin a shit
I miss my 2 stroke sometimes, just yesterday I put some 2stroke oil in my 4stroke to get the premix smell, IT SMELLED GOOOOD.!
lol!
Retired. but seriosly thinking about getin another bike.good video.
Superb !
raced in the 70s KTM Maico Husky the fumes never reached all my "brain cells"
Stanley"
Nothing is better than a 2 stroke. I got an rm125 bad ass bike. But that was great riding there
That video brings the awesome!! LOVED IT!! Long live 2-strokes!
Sorry guys may have misspoken on the power output. When lotus was first toying with it they had an article claiming it would make 275 horsepower out the little monster but I can't find it anymore. Maybe i just imagined it idk. Even so what they're doing with this motor is pretty damn awesome.
Is it a good idea to start with a 125, 2 stroke? and if I wanted to build a supermoto out of the 2 stroke like road legal. I have no experience with motorcycles but I love the sound of the 2 stroke and that is what I want to get. All suggestions and opinions are welcome, thanks/
Personally i've never had a 125 but from what i've heard they pack a punch and go fast but they aren't over the top you should be alright with a 125
It should be a very fun supermoto though, very light and nimble, I can throw it around and I don't plan on going on freeways or upgrading because I just want to have fun riding downtown roads and occasionally the back roads for a change.
Thanks for the advise, I was also confused if I should go for 250 or 125. The only reason I chose the 125 is because it's very light. But you're right I should probably go for the 250 2 stroke if I am not planning on upgrading. Thanks Brian and Daly, I will be purchasing the bike for the summer 2015. And when I do I will make a little video to cover the before and after. Won't go crazy but just make it road legal first and then slowly spend money on making it look pretty :)
Master Ace Yes 125 will be fine just dont keep it pinned 2 strokes arent good on the rode pinned u have to let off the gas and not be in the power band constantly
love sound of 2 strokes sounds like heaven
It would be so awesome to see dungey or tomac come out on a 250 two stroke one day...
back from racing, and now I want ride again. thx ;D
I have a 2 stroke and I love it!!!
2 Stroke...love of my life :)
Proud owner of Fuel injected kawi 450 and a Cr125 both great bikes. Four strokes are dominate becuase thats what they race on tv. Two strokes do go through bout 2 topends per 1 on a 4 stroke so the cost is about evan give or take. Take care of both machines and both will treat you well and are fun to ride. The gov is trying to get ride of them its not people. They have high polution rates.
its not wether which one is better , but we just want to keep them around, just so one is not dominated by one or the other
All of the riders I ride with have owned 2 strokes and now ride 4 strokes as have I but we have all said that the 4 strokes are just more fun and yes they might need more work to maintain but it's all worth it in the end. Plus the sound of a 2 stroke sounds so hollow unlike the 4 strokes sounds like raw power.
Are those goggles good i want some they look easier then tear offs
Lol I been riding and blowing up 2 strokes for 10 years until I wised up and went 4 stroke buddy so I think I do no what I am on about.
I love my 4-stroke so much
Well Done. Thank's for a Great video.
nice vid; I like all the different camera angles (regular and go pro). Do you use a DSLR or a regular vid camera for all of your non pov clips? thank you in advance.
Quote "4 strokes cost less to ride and maintain"......please explain? I have both a 250f and a 125 2t so id like to hear your take on how i can maintain my 250 cheaper than my 125,especially when it comes to a top end rebuild. Im not biased towards either,i enjoy riding both
got a yz85, love two strokes
my best season finish 2nd.and it was on a 4. i love the 2 but 4 has its perks,I just love bikes.....
I gotta tell ya, I once owned a 2005 (I think) KX250. Wow was that thing fast. I must admit, it was too much power for me. I sold it because I would break my neck if I kept it. I had on old 1979 CanAm 250 with the Rotax and 6 speed, that was a cool bike, not real powerful, but one bad thing, it was way too heavy, despite having lots of magnesium parts. I think any 125cc bike I am most comfortable with. 2 stroke of course. One cool thing, I bought a 3-53 Detroit to put in my 1953 IHC Truck.
Love my 04 kx250!!! Definitely a 2 stroke lifer. 4 strokes sound like old man farts...
I know I'm late on this but you guys should go check out what lotus is doing with a 2 stroke. It's called the omnivore and from an engineering standpoint it's magnificent. 275 horsepower from a half liter motor. N/A.... There's so much more life left in the 2 stroke motor, we just need companies and engineers to pile behind it and push it to the limits.
It's "Tree Hugging" California that caused the demise of 2 strokes. Simply because of more smoke emitting from them. Not necessarily more pollution though. 1st state to ban them Kinda like a diesel bus. Lot's of smoke but less poison. This is what Liberal Democrats do to our freedom. I love my KTM 300 EXC 2 stroke. I kick 4 strokes every time I ride. Why do you think 4 strokes are 450's in the old 250 class? And 250's are in the old 125 class? Less efficient. Less power. Great video. Loved watching you pass all those thumpers!
I'm all about having fun, so whatever you have fun on, whether it be a 2t or 4t, is fine by me. I have more fun on my 2t's. I've ridden plenty 4t's, I have one friend with a crf250r and the other with a crf450r. I just find the 2t a more enjoyable experience. My crf450r buddy is going to 2t now because of all the times we swapped. He just found the 2t more fun also. I can't speak for everyone but money has nothing to do with my choice of bike, it is an expensive hobby no matter what you ride
how did you mount the gopro and were at 2;35????
Yeah, sounds like it but its the wheel spin on the wood chips.
My collarbone and ribs still ache when I think about my CR480. In '88 I went back to a CR250. Brand new $2,900.00 Those were the days.
that sounds like the intro to some comic book superhero movie....genius :)
yep yz over ktm
2 Stroke for life!!!! Ive got a 01 YZ250 and she is still purring... Uncle went and bought a brand new KXF 450 and I can keep up with him on a drag and on the track, And to top it all off... His engine blew on a drag race against me... Id say thats pretty embarrassing for the 4 stroker breed lol
yea, I know KTM is still producing the 125. I just read the motocrossactionmag shoot out between the 2013 KTM 125sx vs the 2013 KTM 150sx just a few short weeks ago. I believe TM also is in the mix of still developing the 2 stroke. Yeah, it would be amazing if the japanese companies would get on board also
just got a new 2 stroke bike (: I have, and allways will, only ride 2 stroke.
All my friends have sold their 2 stroke to get a 4 stroke.. but i'm keeping the 2 stroke alive !
Pure Awesome 2Stroke sound!
This guy knew the future
Have you tried the new gopro hero 3? they say its awesome
2 strokes four life bro
this vid would be so badass in 3D :O
gotta love the 2 strokes cant beat them
dirt looks sooo good!!!!
i had a yz250 and ide always have neighbours getting up me for just putting along even so i decided to show them i dont have to be quiet by shredding along ripping up grass all behind there houses then i got a yz250f with a drd pipe (it was fucken loud) and noone cared no matter how mast i went past personally i love the sound of a 2 stroke
Companies like KTM, for example, still develop new technology and advancements with 2strokes, keeping them up to date with todays 4 strokes..
Happy Thanksgiving by the way.
flywheel weight much?
250s have tonssss of torque. If you don't think so its time to lose some weight. Had an 06 crf450 that cost $1500 to fix when it busted a valve seal cracked the head and etc. Bought a 04 kx250 and its a great all around bike. Not too much in the woods plenty on the track. Its light and low maitanance, and not to mention EASY starting.
I have only owned one dirt bike and it's a '98 CR 125 two stroke the only four stroke I have rode is four wheelers and we have more two stroke than four
Got to I love em especially my to fifty
What
that rc valve is killing that thing
fuck that i love the fucking loud ass 2 stroke and 4 strokes just being pushed to the limit on the rev limiter just being thrashed i love that sound!!
lol. i do everything with my Yz125. from racing to tail riding.
Tail riding? Sounds like fun!
lol, i just saw that!
I Love tail riding :D
Not that screaming 2-stroke sound! The deep rumble of a 4 stroke is a lot more sexy in my opinion.
2 strokes forever! and did you ever have a pw80?
Thanks!
there is no way to say any one reason we have to save the 2 strokes, it is simply the whole experience of the ride, a 4 stroke could be faster lighter and handle better but the experience of riding a two smoker is unsurpassed in sheer enjoyment, that is why i will always ride a 2t bike
The buzzing is .... wicked fun , even if I have a 2012 XR650L the sound ain't near as good.
People are all like "2-strokes are becoming extinct" and I'm all like "what the fuck are you talking about?"
Video is "Evinrude E-TEC 150 HP Tug of War Challenge" search it on youtube
2 stokes can never die! As long as u replace the piston rings and check the oil......
only way to go 2 smoke or 4 choke i preffer the 2 smoke i just finnished rebuilding my 4th 250 done 2 kx250's a cr250 and just finnished my yz250 and there redone ground up and what i spent to do each bike would only cover a top end rebuild on a 4
not really, depends on how much you maintenance your bike. If you do what your supposed and change the oil, oil filter, air filter etc... every 2 rides on a 4 stroke, you will be broke before you're 20. Of course when I used to ride 4 strokes, I never really did that. But I still believe it is cheaper to own a 2 stroke...all you have to do is mix gas. Of course this is all on the assumption that unlike me you don't own a kx500 that gets +- 15 mpgs. I still agree with imawhoreknee1 though.
I love 2 strokes and all (I have a rm125) but everything u did can be done on a 4 stroke
Dont worry,,, you can always come to mexico you can ride where ever!!
dont forget the air filter and jetting!
Still loving my 1982 CR480. I promise it will die after me.
thumbs up 2Strokers...we will never die
braap braap braap
two strokes may be becoming much more scarce as time goes on and the terrible four strokes are evolving into to unstoppable fuel injected beasts but a new and superior machine will soon awaken in the world of motocross - the unstoppable lightning fury of the FI 2 strokes!
these machines will devastate the puny four stroke motors in the race for efficiency reliability and of course power. soon the legend that are 2 strokes will be reborn to lead the world of mx for another 50 years!
BRAAAP!!!! 2ts for life
Got the go pro game locked!!!
This is what motocross should sound :)
Dude, you're covered in what looks to be your own roost. Might want to put a mudflap on the front of that front fender...
the only reson for buying a for stroke is for the trail becuz thay have good mpg other then buy a 2 stroke becuz u love it as much i i love my
enduro is the best in my opinion but id choose a 2 stroke for that
i like both. but 4t more
Hahaha, I like that, that's awesome :)
sounds like your clutch is slipping
Ya he's going slow af sounds like a fiddy with that clutch
n1u0m3ber exactly what I thought when hearing the onboard camera. Sounds like your having to pull a higher gear to get the forward motion and hookup you need.
UP to 50% reduction in emissions and fuel consumption. Not up to 50% in power increase. The key words are UP TO, meaning at best, in perfect situation, Like when you buy a car and they say UP TO 35mpg but you don't really ever get that unless situation is perfect.
Not to mention a sing EMP will fry any and all electronics(like circuit boards, computers, etc. batteries will be safe.)
