2-Stroke Trivia

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

Between Kawasaki's H2 750 and Suzuki's last 2-stroke hurrah, the 750 LeMans "water buffalo" - there may be a fraction of a cc between them but I know of no 2-strokes produced for public consumption larger than these.

The "latest" is Aprilia's 125cc fuel-injected, 49-state legal 125. At almost $5600, it's not a cheap little ride.

Great Find

Greetings:

Incredible sleuthing, there, BT. How'd you come up with that link? I hadn't heard of the Maico 760 before today, but I doubt there's been a bigger one.

That said, near the bottom of the article the author states only 3 were made. I know there were no rules for the "contest" but if a "production" run of 3 qualifies, then my uncle Butkus built a 2-stroke Trials bike using a 55-gallon drum for a cylinder. Let's see, that's 217, 880.4 ccs.

Do I win the free part? Is it a Japanese-Spec AF18 engine - complete with Go-Somewhat-Faster modifications?

Really, I'd settle for a seat hasp. :)
