Instant power response ? Definitely not, until the valve opens the two strokes have literally no power which means very little power on low rpms. Feeling is similar to turbo spool.
I like how the Bimota's front end raises higher and higher as the RPM'S climb! The Suter MMX500 is a definite "ass-skinner" as well! Cool video, thanks man!
@@GrrMeister actually some two strokers can sound like 4 stroke in higher rpm, my gt 185 with some exhaust modification sounds like 360 degree twin cyl 4 stroke bike.
My only 2 stroke motorcycle is a 76 Suzuki GT500, it's not in the power league of the bikes here, but it's still fun to ride with the "burble and ring" 2 stroke soundtrack even just riding around in my neighborhood, always puts a smile on my face, it really takes me back to my youth when I first started riding, and 2 strokes were everywhere. I wish I'd bought an RG500 in the early 80's and then had the foresight to keep it. It's a shame no one has harnessed the modern 2 stroke outboard motor technology into a motorcycle to build a modern day direct injection 2 stroke motorcycle along the lines of what Bimota tried to do, but failed to deliver. BRP (Bombardier), owners of Evinrude outboards should produce a motorcycle.
The Suter MMX 500 is an exclusive racing motorcycle, which is also marked by its strictly limited edition status of 99 bikes. Developed and produced by our racing division, this technical masterpiece is built for skillful hands and appreciating hearts only. It can hardly be called a PRODUCTION bike.!!!
Apparently the big issue with the Bimota was that they sub contracted the production engine barrels and crank cases out to a scooter engine maker, the sub contractor did not follow the specs and the quality control was bad, the press bikes that had 100% Bimota made engines where good, but the production models where not.
Actually that engine maker was Franco Morini Motori (not to be confused with Moto Morini, although the founders were relatives). It was an excellent engine maker in the 50 cc category, but they did a disaster with the Bimota engine. They doomed also the Benelli Tornado 900 - early triple engines were built by them.
The Aprilia RS250 used an RGV motor but the very last version of the RGV from 1996 was the best 2 - stroke of the lot, it made 70bhp standard and that motor was not used in the RS Aprilia. The original Yamaha TZR250 from the 80's was the most reliable 2 - stroke that could clock up to 40,000 miles without a rebuild. The RD350LC and YPVS are the quintessential and most popular 2 - strokes of all time. The Bimota and MMX probably sold a dozen bikes so can't really be classed as the best production bikes.
I just finished my 50cc two stroke "bike" and it's really fun to ride. Even though it's just a 50cc single cylinder it's really fun. Can't wait to start riding real motorcycles. I'm now 17 so I have to wait at least a year to go above 50cc...

When it comes to reliability 2 strokes are more simple and because of that less things will break in it’s life time. 4 strokes are more reliable but are also more complex, and because of that more things will break in its life time. 2 strokes are way easier to work on, so it’s really up to you.

But there is a large distance between turbo and 2t. The turbo engines got their max torque at low rpm and the two stroke at a freaking high rpm. But still 2stroke are very fun to drive :D
