A New Two-Stroke

[Manfred]

How about an 8 cylinder, 1,000 cc, 280 horse 2-stroke street bike for only $103K?

I love two strokes. I want one.
Remember Kenny Roberts and the Yamaha 750 two stroke that he raced a couple of years?

I owned a few of them. The Suzuki Titan T-500 was a beast.

Or Rube Goldberg.

Very interesting. Might be a bit tight in there when some maintenance is required.

Like adjusting the valves on a Honda V-4 (Sabre or Magna)?

Yamaha 650 twin and the XV920 RH, were easy peasy.

"Alex, I will take ideas that will never work for $1,000."
Just like all the flying car crap frosty and I see at OSH, aint gonna happen. Technically, you can make a flying car that no one will insure. Or license, this side of Kazikstan.
If for the Street, its DOA due to emissions.
If for the track, forgetaboutit.
There are some interesting snowmobiles, etc that use very interesting two strokes.
Certain politicians are even looking at outlawing BBQs and two stroke weed wackers. Even my 4 stroke week wacker uses premix.
Me, outlaw the da%%med diesils until they are guaranteed to meet emission and wont run if they dont get whatever is needed.

It won't work but dreaming is quite valuable.

From the article:

The display Aperion on show with the Bike Shed was a non-runner, but Levy says the firm has an operational test bike at an R&D centre in Carmarthenshire.
