This is what “technology” means and it is admirable. It should be brought into real life machines. There is certainly lot more energy in pint of fuel which can be brought to use. And yes, 2-strokes can be coupled with fuel-injection.

I can’t understand you guys hating on this bike? Euro bikes have a niche in the off-road market, but hardly in an MX environment. Two strokes are great; everyone knows that, but four strokes are better riding, more forgiving, and all around, easier to go fast on. If two strokes were the better choice for MX, I’m pretty sure the pros would still be riding them.

It’s the 70s in reverse up in the Northwest. Instead of the Japanese replacing the European bikes, the Euro bikes (2 strokes) have replaced the Japanese. The headquarters of the 4 Japanese brands are in southern California, and they don’t care about anything outside of socal. Have fun in your ivory tower and don’t mind that KTM and now Husky have taken over the off-road market. The four strokes overheat and stall on long hillclimbs.

Harder to start than 2010, kinda dampens the efi and other “upgrades”
long live the light, fast, easy to maintain 2 strokes of Yamaha and KTM
and may the other manufactures very soon see the resurgence that is happening
and quickly get their 2 strokes back in production !!
