Whats the biggest two-stroke streebike that is/was in production...

Because while I don't see ANY practicality of having a large-displacement 2-stroke, it'd sure be fun as hell to ride around. The only two strokes that i've seen were the aprilias, but i only noticed that they make a 75 or a 125...

 

street legal, i dont think a 2 stroke can be more than 50cc

 

In the 80s there were rg500s and rz500s. those were the days. Now there are people who are throwing the 500cc motors in 250 frames. yummy

 

250. The motogp bikes used to be 500cc 2 strokes but the 990cc 4 strokes have taken over. Honda had a 500cc 2 stroke dirt bike, the cr500. I rode my friends around for a while and damn that thing is scary.

 

700cc's, get some road/dirt tires, and lights, horn and blinker.

700cc? holy ****

And i'm not talkin street legal, cuz i live in california, land of nothing street legal...

And i know that honda made the cr500, i rode one at Hollister Hills a while ago, and that was quite possibly the scarest thing i've ever ridden in my entire life.

The Bimota Vdue and Vdue Evoluzione were 500cc 2-stroke streetbikes.

 

Yamaha made Tz750's, an inline 4 cylinder 2 stroke bikes. A freind of mine has one in his basment he just reworked he has owned it for quite a while.

 

Kawasaki H2 is 750cc and is street legal. Suzuki also has a 750cc two stroke that is street legal... water buffalo I think its called. These are from the 70's.

 

Wow...didnt know they made em that big. Learn something new each day.

My father likes old bikes. He's got some Kawasaki H2 and Suzuki GT750 two strokes. And even a rotary engined bike and some Kawasaki and Honda six cylinder bikes. I'll take some photos when I have time.


Edit: Ok, here is what a 750cc 2-stroke 3cylinder street bike engine looks like:

the largest production 2 stroke "modern" sport bike in america is a Yamaha TZ250
however RGV 500's and such can be had through the gray market and get a "special construction" title through your DMV

there is a guy in my area that has a Suzuki RG 500 with TLR plastics on it!!
its sick

 

i like my 2 stroke 86 Honda 250r...pulls the wheels in every gear and does bad *** donuts on pavement.....but have to be careful it rolls very easily to...lol

 

The non-modern two strokes can go fast also.
I think this one does 8.1's:

How much would an RGV 500 cost these days? You have to love the 2 stroke power band!

FIND A SOUND CLIP, HOLY SHAT!!!!! I bet that sounds like the devil.

 

a bike with a rotary engine would be preatty badass...the lifespan of the engine would go nicely with a bike that would need a rebuild every few years.

how can a 2-stroke motor have 3 cylinders?
i've heard 2-stroke motor are a cingle piston, cylinder.

 

Ever heard of a Yamaha Banshee? 350cc 2-stroke twin cylinder=FUN

 

mines 2 cyl 2 piston

 

Suzuki made one back 74,75,76 it was the RE5 Rotary.

 

Yeah, my father has one or two re5's. I'll find some pics.
