Hopefully that technology trickles down to us, I heard that Honda was working on a "clean 2-stroke" but was still having some problems with it. What I wonder is if the oil that 2-strokes burn will be a factor with the environazi's.

I personally will really miss the part throttle "skip" of a well tuned racing 2-stroke.

If anyone can do it, it will be Honda.....

One quick thing I forgot to tell you about the web address is to make sure you explore it fully. Especially click on "riding impression" by their tech editor!!!This is reported to be a two stroke with "substantially better fuel economy AND lower emissions" than bigger four strokes of the same comparable torque ratings. Maybe GOD got tired of us complaining and interveined with HONDA.:~)

 

THE BEST THEY WILL DO IS BORE THE 400EX OUT TO PROBALY A 500 OR 600. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ALL THE QUADS COMING OUT ARE FOUR STROKES. TWO STROKE ARE DONE. I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED TO SEE YAMAHA TO DROP THE BANSHEE AND BLASTER IN THE UPCOMING YEARS

 

I rode a friends 1990 XR600R last week and I really liked it! I would probably be more satisfied(GASP-I LOVE 2 STROKES) if Honda would put that motor in a bigger EX. I like the reliability of a mostly stock motor, the 600 would probably be better. It would turn less rpms to have the same power of a 400 and have a greater topend.

March down to your local Honda dealer, walk out with a new 400EX and a CR250 engine and then go to lonestar. Your 250R will finally be resurected. If its that important to you, you would take my plan seriously.

 

Static-X, I am actually thinking of a CR500 engine. Laeger's aftermarket frames use linkages from the 1991 CR500--buy a good used 1991 CR and not only use the motor but save $400 on the new linkage!!
