I've only ever owned small two strokes and big four strokes, but rode my fair share of fun fast two strokes.

 

Had my closest shave (and not falling) on an RGV250 VJ21 on a test ride.

 

Owned:

RV50

MB50

YFS200 Blaster

KRS100 Baby Ninja

YB100 Aerox

 

none anymore at the moment.  Only 4T these days.

And who will be racing them? Dave should still be competitive on them.

Didn't get the full interview - I lose Mix just as I pass the off-ramp to Zwartkops :-(

 

I thought I heard something about Bill Hunter though....

That sound. Makes a four stroke racer sound like a diesel. Fantastico!

The smell!!

 

I cant smell Castrol TTS without my heart jumping to 180bpm and start shaking, takes you right back to lining up on the grid in the old racing days!!

 

If I could snort Agip I would.

I'm done already! For the second time!

 

Only thing that comes close to this is a Bimoto V-Due, and its not even that close!

 

No ways I'd much rather have a V-Due! But not one of the self-destructing ones...

Yeah and you support MM, so clearly you don't make good life choices :P

 

Jokes aside, didnt they sort the V-Due by switching them from injected to carbs?

I have TTS in my BWiz - we have old Velocette 2-strokes and they ran so well on TTS that we bought 3 boxes of 50 tins each direct from Castrol in about 1990.  The other day cleaning out my dad's garage I found one last unopened tin!  It went right into the BWiz and that smell took me right back to school days!

 

Talking smells, I also have a half open container of AGIP Sint2000 - smells like honey!

I wonder if they would have the balls to make a limited edition road-going bike........

They certainly wouldn't battle to sell them.
