Hey Axis! Total Respect on that save! 12k is nothig on those bikes. they are so overbuilt that it's funny. The indestructible Goldwing or BMW of the 2 stroke world. 85 mph coast to cast all day long. There is a total legend in the 2 stroke worldwe call Ironbut Allen who last time I saw him had one with 86K miles on it, original crank and was still rolling strong. He'd done 4 corner rides with it. I'm sure there are folks on this site who now him. He even did an anniversar ride story for Motorcycle Classics with his wife. Great story, great guy and fantastic machine.
Oh man. I miss the olde Suzuki X6, even with its fragile gearbox, that I lived on in high school. Loved loved LOVED this thread, 'cus my first love in high school was every two stroke you can imagine.
Um, ahem, mmhhmmm. So does that mean there can be a smokey two strokey forum (or maybe subforum of old's cool)?
I was so close to putting "wrong place, this is for two strokes" in the SR250 thread at the bottom of the page.
