I bought up a RD350 project in the late 90's. Think I paid $500. Went to pick it up and ended with 2 full bikes (1 with title and tags), 3 mostly complete motors in crates, and lots of parts. When I got around to going through the pile I found 1 was a rd400 motor, and receipts indicated that the tagged bike was tuned by Moto Carrera in CA to their Stage 3 level (IIRC). I forget the specs but it was significantly more powerful than stock, with a narrower powerband. I rode that thing all over Baltimore, in the city it was so fun. I'd never ridden 2-strokes and always fought to keep it on the boil; but when it was right... it was crazy. I've ridden a lot of bikes and very few felt anything like the brutal acceleration that little smoker had. Ended up selling everything when I had to move; one of those decisions a person later regrets. The guy who bought it roda his RD350 about 70 miles to look at it, was nice to see it go to a guy who was into them. A few years later I missed a gray market 500 that a friend had gotten into WA from Canada.... thinking I'd see plenty of deals in the future. That was the good old days when old Japanese bikes were cheap and abundant. $1/cc was the joke, if it ran. Now I see CB350s for $3k... while I used to get 2-3 for free at a time from peoples garages and yards. Hindsight.....

It was worked out that 99% of top rider spent less than 2% of the race at full throttle.. no joke.

in the 70's we had the Kawasaki 500 and 750 3 cylinder 2 strokes ...anything faster than those is overkill ...

@martabakrasabatubara - When Yamaha introduced the power valve system, generally fuel efficiency went from 30 mpg to 45 mpg - which is a BIG jump!

back in the day i got my first bike in 86, KR250. man, for half a 500, it was a weapon. never rode a 500 2stroke, but my mind did every moto gp race day watching gardner, schwanz, rainey, freddy, and the gang scream those things around the tracks. i was offered a RZ500 not running a few years back. i still kick my own ass for not jumping on that deal.

BZM and Polini produce 50cc pocketbike racers that produce 17 hp which is impressive when you scale it up to 500cc.

I had an RD500LC. Probably should have got the RG but I did Yamaha, you know how it is. Never owned a Honda, did have a GSXR750j. Wouldn't own a 2 stroke road bike again.

"We need smell-a-vision" ! The smell of a two-stroke is (For want of a better word) EXCITING ! I feel sorry for today's generation as they won't experience the unmatchable thrill of a two-stroke bike. They are ear splitting noisy, and 4-strokes are more reliable, but nothing comes close to being as responsive. I miss em !

If there is a god bring us a new street legal 4 cyl 2 stroke 360lb 180hp should be doable. bring on the 1000 4 strokes we will let then see how smoke smells as they will be behind with a face full of it.

There is NOTHING quite as joyful as a man than that couple of split seconds buzz we get when the 2 stroke power and rocketed us forwards. 😊 I had an Aprilia RS250 in Chesterfield racing livery, an absolutely beautiful bike, and it was the most exhilarating ride of my life. So light, and slender, which would rocket down the road when the savage powerband took over. Sadly, it ended up being stolen and my heart broke. That 1996 model RS250 was absolute magnificent.
