Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
90's two stokes were 250, people who reminisce about 80's 350's are OLD!
It's obviously aimed at a specific demographic.
No doubt that if they sell enough 250's that they'll launch a special edition 500 one for double the money.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Yeah, guilty as charged But Yamaha were still producing RD350s into the early 90s (albeit made in Brazil). Anyone who fancies a 250 would (I humbly submit) be even happier with a 350 (+). I agree that as a GP race class, 350s died out in the early 80s, whereas 250s continued until 2010. But anyone who is really into two-strokes would prefer the larger engine. If Suzuki or Yamaha had produced an RGV350 or TZR350 they'd have cleaned up.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 9:27 pm 90's two stokes were 250, people who reminisce about 80's 350's are OLD!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
So it's nothing special, but I was just browsing t'bay and came across this. I had no idea these things were that cheap. Are they totally shite to ride/own?

Don't worry, I'm not buying it.

But they are very niche, support for parts is a little flaky - and the brand is tits up ....
And they are a little challenging looking

I don't recall seeing an SM with superbike style forks with twin disks before.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..

I know nothing about them, I just think it's a really pretty little momocycle.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Old stylie XR750 flat trackers have the side pod airfilters which I guess they got the styling from.

Find whoever did that and punch them in the face. Repeatedly.
