Just to add:

The Marine industry has no plan to stop making 2 strokes, by any date. They now have clean burning 2 strokes that are direct injected! Please remember with Marie you are dealing with 2 sources of pollution. Water and air!

Do a search for Honda EXP or Ivan Boyesen's trapping valve 2 stroke. The technology is there and has been. Until the big 5 see a drop in sales of 4 junks they will keep them on the showroom floors.

Question how will the manufacturers deal with the smaller displacements like the 65s, 85s, and 100cc's that are 2 strokes. If that is the case of ridding 2 strokes then they should be fined right now for making these small bikes especially since kids ride them. But NO the rules protect them till the new rule is in effect. Suzuki, Yamaha, Gas Gas and KTM are holding out. More so in other countries.

If you all believe 2 strokes will never come back just keep believing that! Thats what they want! It's it funny we now see retro automobiles? Why? The sales of the Mustang dropped. People wanted to relive the past. So we now see throwback cars! The Camaro is coming out as are new retro Dodge's. Wouldn't it have been easer and cheaper to just keep popping out and selling the same old same old. Can't do it when it just sits on the showroom floor gotta have "NEW" and "Improved" Check that out! If it's "Improved" isn't it "NEW" then? Another play on words to get you to buy the "NEW" thing! Which is the same thing just prettied up and repackaged!

The last of the so called 2 strokes are on the showroom floors and is they all get sold there "will" be more. If you switch and buy a 4 stroke then thats one less 2 stroke they have to produce and sell. Also if we rebuild our old Smokers and keep them going It's one less 4 junk they will be selling! So I ask you who's at fault? We are!

We run vintage motorcycle races at Twin Creeks our local track here in PA. All I see is old 2 strokes redone and guys racing having fun. I'm talking bikes from the 1970's, so if they can keep them alive no problem keeping the quad stuff going. There are lot's of parts to be had. Plus by keeping your old steed alive it is an investment. I know I sound like dear old dad preaching the save your money deal but I paid 1249.00 for my 1974 Honda CR 250 in 74! See what they get now for them? $5000.00 or more. You see the prices the TRX 250R's bring!

Adopt my saying and keep it going:

"There will always be 2 strokes in my world"

Nice talk'in with all of ya!
