Amazing, 500c's of 2 stroke power combined with electric start, fuel injection, and a counterbalancer all in a modern chassis that's street legal. This is the recipe for a proper modern 2 stroke that we all wish were built from the factory today. Good to hear you're getting orders left and right. Maybe the manufactures will start to take notice. Will we see some street supermoto versions since they're street legal? I would imagine the SM community would be all over this too.

You have found a gold mine ...These bikes are going to put the big boys to shame . Back in the early eighties when the big bore 2 strokes got hot you were going to lose 10 places if you stalled in a tight corner . Those big bores were hard to start . In loose sand and mud you'd better keep it revving ...with no traction you could stall easy ...nice bike for sure . 👌 PK

I had a Can-Am MX 500 factory race bike. It had a lighter weight flywheel and that bike was insane. The Rotax Type 486 didn't have much vibration either. I'm glad the 2-stroke big bores are coming back. Anyway if that had a lighter flywheel you would definately struggle to keep the front end down on pavement. It had so much torque that shifting seemed optional. ATK once tried to sell 600cc and 700cc 2-strokes but I never had my hands on one. The thing is you probably can get a much bigger hit off of that with a lighter flywheel.
