d**n nice looking bikes. I guess when i get ready for something new it will have to be european instead of japanese.  Its to bad cuz I have always been a kawasaki guy.  My son rides a rmz 450 and its a great bike but just does not excite me like a smoker does. Still can't figure out why nobody other than yamaha from the japanese side hasn't figured out there is a big 2 stroke market out there.

"There is no market for two-strokes.  It is outdated technology that you can't ride anywhere and no one wants." - Japanese Guy with head in the sand

"We sell more two strokes than the four of you sell four strokes (combined).  We can't keep them in stock." - KTM Guy while counting large stacks of cash.

At least that's how I imagine it.

The only sense I can think of is that they are afraid of the tree huggers creating more bs laws. 4 of 6 bikes in my garage are two strokes. The duel sport DR250 doesn't get ridden/fixed because there's too many idiots in cars.
The klx110 is great for chasing the kids around on the pw and kdx50. When the kids are bigger the klx will be gone.
Eventually it will be all two strokes for us, if Junior ever thinks he needs a 250f he can get a job or 2.
