Most powerful production 2 stroke bike ever

[DrDonnyBrago]

As per title, what was/is the most powerful production 2 stroke bike to date?

[tatters]

Hi

For bikes the Bimota I think. Quite a bit more powerful than the RG500.

Although I suppose it could be argued that some of the customer 500cc GP bikes were production items if you wanted more.

All the best

A mate had an RG500, my ZZR600 had more HP at the time (remember pointing that out to him when he was larging up that he had a mental GP bike!! ) ... IIRC the RG was only good for ~85hp!

It was a lovely beast, but my ZZR WAS actually quicker!!

Quite a story behind the Bimota it seems!

Cheers all

What about those crazy 750 2 stokes?

[Damon]

Is that all they were? I have always been under the impression that they were killer fast powerful bikes.

What are the tuning potentials for something like that? Surely only making 74bhp isn't stressing out the motor too much. My 125 2 stroke makes the best part of 30bhp

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Only quote I can find is that the H2 racer produced 100bhp at 9000rpm, with the engines managing 10000rpm.

I remember seeing a dyno output for one showing over 120bhp. The output also showed it doubling it's power output in the space of 300rpm, probably why the tires used to last 2 laps

IIRC the V-due was a 500 twin with 110bhp, Can't remember how much it weighted but it was not alot, I would love one. I seem to rememeber seeing a few special engines being built a CR1000 (2x CR500s) V twin that they builders claimed when finished would make 200bhp I think it was some Auzi's that where doing it.

The V Due is pretty much in the NR750 bracket - specialist collectors bike built in very small numbers, and unlikely to be anything more than a museum piece.

Much more fun and probably more powerful were the tweaked and bored out LC500s and RGs. I once rode an RG570 that had such fearsome power delivery that my hands were completely numb after two minutes (holding on for grim death, terrified of stacking it ).

Nothing can beat the terrifying exhilaration of an H1 at full throttle, though. Power is relative. If they ditched the plastic and started fitting R1s with drum brakes, wire wheels and a pressed steel frame, I might consider buying one

What about the KR750?

[blutonium92]

V4 two stroke engines designed for snow mobiles- 275hp at 10000rpm
I'd like to see one of those beasts in a mito chassis

Also, the 350 triples are very fast indeed. My dad owns the fastest 1/4 mile 350 ridden by moi- 12.95secs at 107mph. AND its a road bike
