It sure looks cool, I nearly bought one, then I was told the engine ran so hot, the petrol was evaporating from the 2nd carburetor, so the engine ran on 2 cylinders only which was the reason of the seizing issues. Thinking

I also liked the noise and the rather unusual engine, but as it's been said before, the effort to keep the good times roll didn't really make me feel like it was a reasonable buy. Now I've got more free cash, but I still think I wouldn't buy one.

I think we got to a point, where people wouldn't buy two strokes over four strokes anymore. I mean yes, a two stroke sport bike 250cc+ engine etc. cool, but I'm talking about a CBR 125, two stroke variant.

The only two stroke I could ride for a longer period of time, was my mates MZ 151 ETZ. It does 100kph, the traveling is rather comfortable, but when you start thinking about what the motorcycle is, and that it does ''only'' 50 mpg and what other motorcycles with 50 mpg can do, you come to a conclusion that it's a fun motorcycle to have, not to ride though. Thinking

I do believe a ''modern'' 250cc+ two stroke sport motorcycle would be a completely different experience. But that's terrible mpg + expensive parts. Not even talking about what people ask for road legal 250cc two strokes these days.

I will buy a classic bike again, but I'm not sure it will be a two stroke. Well, if I get my hands on a 40's/50's CZ, then it does not matter. You can buy brand new Czech made parts for nearly nothing for the ''classic commie bikes''.
Thinking of it, a KR-1S or a KR250 would be a must have. Just because cool and Kawasaki. Razz
