The 2-stroke thread

KTM's are beautiful bikes. Unfortunatley my Yz250 blew up and the piston shattered and scared the cylinder and so i sold that. Im a strict Honda believer and i went a picked this guy up on friday. 99 cr250 800$ and runs like a champ!

 

looks like a decent deal. That's one of the best 250 2T motors ever made

 

I have an 01 and love that bike. Good deal.

 

ya my buddy also has the 01, only difference is the power valve but they are GREAT bikes i do think. I wont ever buy anything but a honda from now on.

 

Here's my beast, 01 CR500.

 

You can keep that! They scare the shit out of me!

 

I did have 3 CR500's, but i sold two of them about two years ago. PAlittlematty there's nothing like big bore 2 strokes!

 

I love em but they're a handfull. Damn near killed myself on a quadzilla one time. Haven't been on a 500 2stroke since that day

 

My 2 stroke 2011 TM Racing EN300, just got it plated as street legal.

 

I have never even heard of that company. Who builds it?

 

Me ridin around a little corner track, messin around.

 

TM. it's a fancy european bike

 

A 2 stroke enduro, now that sounds like fun!

 

KTM 300!!!

 

loved my 250sx modded out to basically an XC. I could run in the 250 class instead of open and rape all the 250f's off the line. Dead engine starts FTW!

 

Yup. My 2 stroke fires within 2 kicks. I see guys kick the guys out of a 4 to get em fired.

 

I had mine to where it would start first kick in gear. Previous owner had put a $500 clutch in it with the stainless lined fingers so never had issues with it not disengaging all the way. Just gotta get the piston near TDC first.

 

^^Pretty much my dream bike right there.

 

Ahhhh the memories,
I bought a 1985 CR 500 brandy damm new for like $1400.00. Back then
that was the beast of the day 50 hp watercooled bliss, but I raced dezert and the gearbox was a close ratio for MX so it sucked for Dez.
I played with gear ratios but it gave up too much in either direction top speed or hill and sand wash low end.
They made a couple gears to swap in the tranny but I was not fast enough to spend the money to need it.

But Holy schintzel it was so much lighter and quicker than my 1981 XR 500!!
