2 stroke sportbikes.
I am the engine tech for a company that is developing a fuel injected, multi-fuel burning, opposed twin 2-stroke motor. It's 400cc and weighs around 46 pounds. It burns straight fuel, diesel, JP5, JP8 or carosine, no premix. It has an oil injection system that takes care of the lubrication. It burns very little oil. It's being developed to replace the motor that is currently being used in the "shadow" unmanned spy plane. The technology is there. There just has to be a demand for it.

They are stopping production after 2006 but this should come as no surprise. I remember reading about the end of the 2-stroke ATV in Dirtwheels in like 1992. It took 14 years but it has happened (or will, at the end of next year).

the only way 2strokes could ever live on would be with Polaris' CleanFire system. for those that arnt familier with it, it uses 2 injectors per cylinder which burns so finely and cleanly, that its even cleaner than todays 4strokes. the set up can be seen on the Polaris Fusion Sled series. the 600 H.O. twin is making 120 horsepower. thats some serious power from a 2 cyl 2stroke if you ask me.

What about the 2-stroke SDI engines in Ski-doo snowmobiles...some of the cleanest 2- stroke tech available. There will still be mini quads with 2-strokes next year, also the trailblazer will probaly make one more run next year

i'm keeping my quadzilla,banshee,rz350 because two-srtoke's have raw & over exciting power that somtime's give me the shake's and that is the reason we all will keep them. my 67' gt fastbk does the same. these old relics will never die as long as i'm alive & my son.

I'll gladly give up my modern day 450 if they can make a 2-stroke that has a power spread like my 450 and still have descent reliability. Try telling someone 10 years ago that a 250 2-stroke would be considered reliable.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] lol
