they're a good fun bike, i'd recommend it. don't worry about the 2-stroke powerband scaremongers, most of em wouldn't have ridden one before
They're great bikes.
Don't worry about the powerband, I've had friends learn on RGV's without dying. It's a matter of common sense and experience. While it does have a kick when on pipes, it's like a Wankel kick, not a V8 torque rush.
The only issue with having one on the road is maintenance.
They don't like dawdling in traffic as you need revs, and lots of them, to get moving. You'll foul the plugs often if you don't ride it like it's meant to be ridden. Rebuilding (either merely rings or the whole shebang) will become a way of life if you ride frequently. They NEED a good warm up before being ridden hard. It's a kick start: -100 poser points and + 200 frustration points if you come back to your bike in your gear and fail to kick the bike after 15 minutes. You'll need to buy both fuel AND 2 stroke oil along with oil for the gearbox. You'll either have to do pre-mix or frequently check to make sure the auto lube is working properly. They also consume a lot of fuel if you ride them on pipe for extended periods (and if you had a stroker, why WOULDN'T you be riding it on pipe all day long).
On the plus side, they're light, nimble, quick for the size/weight, use smaller tyres (cheaper to buy), and are heaps fun in the right environment.
There's more to the list but these should give you enough food for thought.
Don't get me wrong. I love my 2stroker track bike to bits, but I would not put myself through the torture of having it as a roadie.
whats riding on pipes?
Riding in powerband. You can tune a 2 stroke's powerband via the exhaust pipes, hence 'riding on pipe'.
Should be fine Bau.
I suppose the prices of them should go down now the new laws are in place.
Yeah they need regular rebuilds and aren't really suitable for quick short stop start trips but they are great fun either way.
Feel nice and nimble too.
I learnt on these bikes and still like them. :)
im with zdster
not a fan of 2 strokes
too many maintenance issues....
and not very good for heavy traffic from wat ive seen on the road with other pplz 2 strokes
but its supposed to be fkn fast
some 60bhp or so, which is quite a bit really
you shut upQuote:
