that 500 v4 is pure soundgasm
The engine architecture is called "screamer" for a reason. ;D
1299cc V4 2 stroke for the Ninja H2 Suicidal edition, with a whopping 400 horsepower or something
god that would be awesome
The redline wouldnt pass 10K rpm. Perhaps 8K rpm with 350hp,
I think you should have mentioned the 300cc 2 stroke enduro bikes, those sell extremely well and dominate enduro competitions even today.
iD4v1d i have a 300 gasgas, that thing is pretty cool!
Love my Gas Gas three- honey👍
300 beta here, awesome both as enduro and supermoto 🙌🏼
Yeah, but they have around the same power as the 250 ccm MX Bikes.
Aprilia RS 250 for me the most iconic 2 stroke bike.
I feel you brother... They took our rotax and replaced it with a FUCKING FOUR STROKE!!! WHY? WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE FROM ICON TO MAINSTREAM DULL THING? WHHYYYYYY??
because of the EU and there new emission shit
just look up Vins 250 2t. Vins is a new italian bike factory. They designed it and made all by themselves, even the engine. The running order weight is about 90kg!!
I still have an rs 250 wit bored out cylinders so it's a 300 now, it's so fucking scary though I'm scared to ride it.
@@malmsey1541 Surely less 'scary' than mainstream 600cc inline 4t (non learner models)
I've had many 2 strokes over the years, RD250s 350s and 400s, 350 and 500L/Cs and Aprilia RS250s, but by far the best bike I've ever had was in 1995 a Yamaha/Aprilia hybrid, it was a Yamaha RD500L/C engine with a stan stephens stage 3 tune in an Aprilia RS 250 frame and chasis, it was the sweetist handling stroker I've owned and more than a match for any of the 1990s superbikes.
RG 500 GAMMA
one awsome street legal 2 stroke
Always wanted one of those
Marco Pasquali
In 86 I had a GSXR1100R and it was the baddest thing on the road. Hands down the finest bike I’ve ever owned. To the point I had a friend with an RG that he raced in WERA back then. My 1100 was wicked but that Gamma scared the sh it out of me.
Marco Pasquali It's the best bike in the world, so powerfull and Nice
Indeed, I rode the blue & white 400cc Gamma in Japan (just a test ride). It felt like riding a 1970's 10-speed at 90 mph. Although mid to late 1980's, their performance was likely similar to a modern (read very fast) 600cc. A wicked and beautiful motorcycle.
Could've bought a 91 gamma 250 for 3000. Years ago but passed. Probably worth 15k now
I had a 1200cc (1.2L!) 2 stroke 3cyl jetski. It sounded badass
Creative Lemon intresting what year and model how was the service maintain expensive or good?
Daniel Pletikosić 05 kawi stx r. Vid on my channel
Serious omission is the Suzuki RG500, amazing engine and Barry Sheene's weapon of choice for two world championships
Two strokes and motorcycles just go together.
No! They smell awful, are loud as fuck... and this sound. Like a god damn lawnmower. I would never buy a 2 stroke - even if they were still produced and would be much more powerful.
Andrzej Strzelecki that's your opinion, i love the smell of 2 strokes and the sound.
Yamaha Tdr250. Best duel sport of all time
Well my opinion is very objective - that's why there will never be more 2 strokes! Thanks god. They remind me my old scooter - awful, loud, slow, smelly, two-stroke piece of shit.
Apart from slow, all valid points. Did you watch the video. Nsr500 v4 200hp how is that slow. 2 strokes are twice the power and twice as SMOOTH as there 4 stroke equivalent. Lighter and simpler.
I have a 2002 NSR 150 SP sitting in my garage. It's one of the last Honda 2 stroke road bikes made and was assembled in Thailand. It's a 150 cc single cylinder 2 stroke putting out a claimed 39 hp at 10,000 rpm. Stock it topped at 180 kph ( 112 mph) and ran about a 14 sec 1/4 mile. I modded it with Tyga performance parts including air box, carbon reed valve, porting, reprogrammed ECU, exhaust, jetting and suspension mods. The stock motor was dynoed at 27.5 WHP and after mods, it put out 34.7 WHP at 10,500 rpm. Stock, it redlined at 10,500 rpm and modded it was still pulling at 11,000 rpm. I timed it with GPS at 193 kph (120 mph). The quality of the steel frame was poor and developed a crack. Although welded, it's probably going to break again. I then ran into the back of a small truck at about 30 kph. Forks bent and fairing and various bits broken but I rebuilt it with parts from Tyga Performance. However, it has just sat for 4 years but this video has rekindled my desire to get it back on the road. Before the crash, I rebuilt the gearbox and clutch which took a hammering. Two stroke power band can be addictive. It's like having a turbo. I rode it like I stole it everywhere I went. Lucky not to get booked once apart from the negligent riding fine when I crashed. The engine may need to be freshened up with a rebore, cylinder recoated and new piston. Parts are getting harder to get. They were the gun bikes in South East Asia along with the Kawasaki 150 and 125 RR's. They all tend to be thrashed without mercy so there are very few good examples left for parts. Aprilia had a kick arse 125 as well. My NSR 150 is an absolute giant killer and shocked some big bike riders at track days. I might need to lose a bit of weight to get up and boogie again, although at a slower pace (:
I had one of them. Yes, I thrashed it without mercy.
Well yeah i have NSR 150R with boxy fairings.
owned an RD 350 and a NS400R... both amazing 2 strokes
Me too. However I was glad to see the back of the 400. Mine was fucking Jinxed, nothing but bad luck. My LC on the other hand was fun. I fell out of love withy LC after 21yrs and sold it to a mate in 2010. I had the opportunity to buy it back but didn't. I have an rg250 MK1 now which I would love a ypvs to yammagamma it.
Missing the Suzuki RGV250 and Aprilia RS250! They were awesome
I often wonder where they all are now. Twenty years ago there were heaps around the place. They must be in garages gathering dust.
The RS uses the RGV engine.
Not quite sure where you get the idea that none of the Bimota 500-Vdue's were road legal. I bought mine in 2001 and sold it in 2016 and it was very much road legal. That said 26 updated units were produced in 1999 which were not road legal. Then in 2001 the "Evoluzione Corsa" was produced ( 14 units ) which were not street legal. The first 150 Bimota 500-Vdue's produced were all street legal.
Yep, but sounded like he was reading a script by wikipdi. CR/KX 500'S Didn't make 85 horsepower either. AND they left out a bunch of sweet smokers.
what about the yamaha RD?
Exactly. Easily the most popular 250 and 350 in Europe/UK in the early 80s, I would have thought.
Still got one, in bits though. My brother has a 400
Bought a brand new RD-350 in 1975: last year for the 350 cc displacement and wire wheels, first year for the front disk brake and 6-speed transmission. Best motorcycle I ever owned in 40 plus years riding.
John Kelinske The disk brake and six speed (and the reed valve) came out with the first RD350 in 1973. Before that, the drum brake 5-speed bike that looks very much like an RD, was the R5.
Sorry, but not here in the USA. I bought the bike brand new off the showroom floor in 1975. The previous year had the 5 speed and drum brake.
Yamaha RZ500. I loved this bike. I miss it to this day.
Lol to gutless compared to the gamma, sweet looking ride though
Where is Suter 500 mmx....???
One of the advantages of the two stroke is the simplicity. While you focused on the extreme high tech rockets, the simple, light weight, low cost two stroke race bikes totally dominated the dirt tracks in the '60s and 70s. And the most popular were bikes from Spain (!!): Bultaco and Montessa. I owned a Bultaco Mattise TT 250 4 speed, and later, a Pursang 250 twin plug, electronic ignition, mikuni carb, backporting and and still have screws and plates in my arm as a special trophy for a flat track race I did not win half a century ago. I have had a very good life.
Man up Bro, I rode and raced the Honda CR-500 for almost 13 years, its a very capable bike in the desert, dunes, and track. The KX-500 was a whole other beast.
OMG i seriously had heart palpitations listening to those two stokes, god what a trip - total nostalgia brings back so many good memories of my childhood.... My al time favorite would have to be my KX 500 E12 .... What a total animal / nut case machine it was - i used to wheel stand that bike in 5th gear - no clutch - bit of rear brake - it would pause for a second - take a deep breath and it could wheel stand literally for kilometer's.
Dude thanks for this Video. Loved it
Suter 500 MMX? 127kg (280 lbs), 195hp @ 13'000rpm, top speed +310km/h (193 mph)
First bike was a Kawasaki KH-400 two-stroke triple, and the power band was precisely as you described it in the opening. Dangerous, but man, what a blast to ride!
My dad had 3 Yamaha RD500 v4's
Growing up listening to these set my heart and as soon as I could I got a apprila rs125
Mighty Mick was a God,one of a small band of superhumans that could handle a featherweight 200bhp two stroke with no A.B.S.,traction control,wheelie control,nothing but brute power and a razor sharp human brain to control it.
Absolutely. The man is so underrated. Truly one of the greatest of all times.
I totally agree, a Golden period of Men and Machinery.
The difficulties Mick had to overcome after his Assen crash in 92 were enormous.
A Disabled rider on a modified bike, who would go on to Win 5 world Championships, amazing.
He's a Legend & a top bloke as well,I've met him on 3 or 4 occasions,sometimes with Bazza (Barry Sheene) Mick did with the NSR what Casey Stoner did to his Ducati,nobody else could ride them but these guys won World Titles on them. I'd like to see the racers of today riding the bikes Mick Doohan & Wayne Gardner rode to win their GP 500 Titles back in the late 80's & mid 90's. I did quite a few trips to Phillip Island back in the day just to see those guys win.. Maybe Jack Miller can notch up a win down there this year or next,I'll pray for rain,ha ha ha.
Rob Kimler that checks out with everything I've heard/read,Wayne Rainey who was my favourite rider from that era when I was young,always respected Mick and admired his straight talking antipodean ways,also his guts,grit and grace.Wayne was trying to (ironically) get some safety introduced for riders and the tracks made safer and he said that Mick was one of the few riders with the balls and backbone to stand up to the corporate money men that have always had their noses in Grand Prix racing.After Wayne was injured,cheering for Mick seemed the right thing to do.As you say Stoner is in that mold,I thought it was the 2nd coming of Doohan but despite the incredible talent the dominance never materialised,even having said that,still the greatest rider since Mick and yes,I think even greater talent than Rossi.👍
yes, this is valid for the small group of drivers who did survive
Kawasaki too produced 500 and 750 triples around 1980. I’ve owned a few Yamaha RZ500’s and recall being jealous when Suzuki released the RG500 with twin spar alloy frame . In Oz the Honda equivalent was NSR400.
Ktm already offers a street legal ( at least in the EU) 2Stroke Fuel injection Bike. The Bimota V Due also had ( poorly working) Fuel injection and it was Street legal.
To this list I would add;
Yamaha RZ500 and Suzuki RG500, awesome roadbikes
Yamaha TZR250, Suzuki RGV250, great track day bikes
The Honda NSR500 with the Big Bang engine, it made it so that more than 2 riders in the world could ride this beast to its limits.
To those who think Mick Doohan was awesome, I would say he is even more so. When Honda introduced the “Big Bang”engine, Mick not only mastered this bike but went on to ride the older “screamer” engined bike for a further season to mess with his heads of his rivals. None of them wanted to keep riding the old bike, it was too hard to ride. He was the master.
How bout the 77 RM Suzuki 250 ~ put a bigger 13 tooth sprocket on front for more speed and still got fourth gear scratches up a long asphalt driveway with a slight turn in it! Had about 34 hp.
My 1st bike after passing my test was a KR1S, clouds of smoke everywhere and I was way too big for it but loved every minute riding it
The Kawasaki H2... never had one but I had a friend who rode the 500-version. He was seriously good rider and yet he sold it with the comment "I'd die if I continued to ride that beast". :) Great video by the way!!
kawasaki kx500 and honda cr500 made around 63hp
The CR500
Yes they had lots of power, but it was the top speed that was more the issue IMO
I rode a 91 model CR500 and road raced 1000 superbikes and no stranger to power and speed, but that sort of top speed on a dirt bike put the scare up me.
It spun the back wheel in every gear on loose dirt so it wasn't like you could get all the power down, and that wasn't really the dangerous or scary part, just that given enough distance you soon got to widow maker speed which is likely why they got a reputation.
If you are careful enough to know what point "too fast" is on dirt they are not a dangerous bike to ride nor any of the big bore 2t dirt bikes you mentioned.
AuMechanic u been riding two strokes all my life and i gotta say a 500 single cylinder machine is a beast.....ive rode lt500 Suzuki quadzillas and stuff ive had plenty of banshees but that 500 on a dirtbike is way to much power for how light they are!
Im content with my 01cr250 for a dirtbike
Agreed. My KX500 was nothing but the truth!! Power for days. I still love my 250 tho she’s just a 125 with an attitude.
AuMechanic cr500 tops out at 85mph. What your saying doesnt make sence. Most people wipe or crash a cr500 in the first 20 feet not at high speeds.
85 mph through the bush is real fast by my standards.
If most people wipe out at lower than top speed than its their lucky day.
Cagiva mito (125) goes like a bat out of hell, even though it’s a 125!
Yamaha suzuki and honda made unbelievably badass 500cc 2stroke STREET bikes in the 80s...
They didn't. They made the NS400 triple though.
I ride an Aprilia rs 125 2002 two stroke ofc. I love it! It has about 25-30hp (not full power) When full power it Can reach top speeds up to 200km/h and its a 125..
I fell in love with 2strokes because of my Kawasaki krr 150 kips aka zx1, the last models I think where pretty and it was such fun to ride, just bought my cbr600rr though so huge leap 😀👍
I feel like this list should also contain the Yamaha RZ350 and the Suzuki RG500.
Always falling inlove with 2 stroke engine, until now i have my kawasaki kmx 125 and yamaha rs100. Still enjoying riding my 2 stroke bikes.😊
Bought RS100DX a year ago from barn restored as my first bike, its pure ecstasy when you rev it to 10K😀
2 stroke is king always have always will
My first bike was a street legal 1981 KE100 2 stroke. I LOVED that bike. Old two stroke smell is awesome.
Great topic HeroRR and good job -> RZ/RD 500 (Yam) and RG500 (Suz)
Thanks for mentioning Mick Doohan , most people won't know that the Honda GP bikes switched to a close firing motor to make them a little easier to ride but Mick was getting bored so he switched back to the vicious bronko bull to make it harder and he still killed them all .
Quarter mile in 12.something seconds! That’s fast even today! Here in Denmark we had a Suzuki 750 2-stroke dubbed the “Water buffalo” because it was water cooled. My dad has some great stories from when he was a kid, in which he every morning woke up opened the window and listened because a guy in our neighborhood had one of these and would every day drive out on the main road and floor it through all the gears before slowing down getting into the town. After which my dad would go on about his daily routine.
I was owner of Aprilia RS 250 many years ago and i'm still sure, that was the best 2-stroke ever made. HEART inside that motorbike is ROTAX ...
Yes. While good you left out the early 90’s 250’s. All of the big four had one. Tough call in the best, but I’m going with 1992 Yamaha TZR 250 SP.
Also, the Suter 575 is by far the most exotic 2T ever offered for sale. It does have fuel injection.
Thanks for the post.
TZ 750's where a beast..
Ask "King Kenny".
Back when I was younger in the 90's the Bimota was my favorite bike. Gorgeous!
WOOHOO!!! Love our 2Ts! 😍
no mito? one to remember! Cagiva mito. had one couple of years ago hit 160-170km/h easy and thats kinda crazy for just a 125cc
I'm sure Kenny Roberts wouldn't like you not mentioning his world championship bikes.
tzr 250 3xv spr, has a tz crank case and a dry clutch. Basically a 250 gp bike on the road. And of course the tzr 250 3ma sp with those amazing reverse cylinder exhaust pipes coming out of the tail section, and it also has a dry clutch.
You forgot to mention the Yamahas, especially the RD 500, a street-legal 100hp, 4-cylinder widowmaker.. I mean that literally, I lost friends to that insane beast. Still gave you an upvote, great vid!
This gentleman has never ridden a Jawa Tramp :)
I love the smell of castrol R in the morning
I would love to have a Bi-Moto 500cc two stroke fuel injected bike. Just to see if I could get the engine to work properly. That would be a dream bike for me to work on, I have lusted after this bike since like 1997.
DIOSpeedDemon Me too I have been looking for one for years now.
Any multi cylinder 2 stroke is so fun in any vehicle.
I still have my 500 dirt bikes, and exercise them often. '83 IT490 converted to YZ spec (because of the thinner tank) '88 RC500 replica, '96 CR500 and '97 KX500. Big, mellow and plenty of power everywhere.
I had a Polaris Scrambler 400 2 stroke quad. Loved to hear that thing run ! Wasn't much stock HP but a few mods would make it scream. I shoulda kept it
I had a SUZUKI RG 500 GAMMA back in the early 2000s that I modified, it was pretty fast, still, miss it today, great bike! love it!!
I still have my 2 stroke RD350. It was tons of fun. I got a bit carried away when I built it though so the pipes are ridiculously peaky. At 5 grand, you can whack the throttles wide open and it just sounds a bit different. Do that at 6K and the front tire meets the heavens. I'd always warn people, but 4 stroke bike guys were always the same. They'd roll into the throttle at 3 grand, wouldn't feel anything and then roll it half way and hold it there. And of course, the instant it hits 6 grand, it would either snap the front end off the ground like it had dynamite under it or the back tire would just step out. And then they'd come back with shaky knees and be all "I'm good". Not exactly a good bike for commuting, but my god was it fun to ride around town. Those RD's were wheelie machines stock... After you had enough power to make the stock clutch slip though, they were just ridiculous fun. Ring a ding ding ding... ding. :P
The "R" Model of the NSR250 series is the lowest trim level. The SE which adds a more adjustable suspension and a dry clutch and the SP which has everything the SE has plus a pair of Magtec magnesium wheels.
Everytime I see something about the NSR 250, it reminds me when Daijiro Kato won the 250cc world championship in 2001.
No mention of the Suzy GT/RG or the Yam RD/RZ? You can't mention "coolest ever" 2 smokes without these super-cult icons in the mix somewhere!
I miss riding my dads 1976 h2 750. Absolute beast but never come out of the garage anymore.
That's not why the H2 was called the widow maker, the first models had a gearbox that would let you go straight from 5th to neutral to first. riders would do this going roughly 100mph and crash. That's why it was called a widow maker.
You forgot the Yamaha RD ,Suzuki Gt other than that.great. ps I rode 2 strokes up till 86 and no one ever mentioned Honda 2 strokes.it was all about Yam and Suzy .
You are great at telling us how 2 strokes actually feel (lighting fast) great video man!
Buddy, buddy why, you forget the Cagiva Mito 125, its the mini ducati 996.
ThatWolffe Was that a two stroke? I thought it was a 4 stroke.
Nope its a 2 stroke 124cc engine ! I believe the Cagiva Mito Evolution has 34BHP with a Liquid Cooled Two Stroke Single Cylinder Engine
jup he forgot a true legend xD crazy fast for 125cc. i had one just exhaust jollymoto swap. hit 160-170km/h easy. pretty much stock (came in 250cc 2stroke also )
Ktm exc 125 is both faster and a dirtbike lol. 39,5 hp. Got one with carbon reeds, aftermarket ignition and 38mm keihin carb. Cagiva is sadly no match. Got a friend with one.
@@TheCrazyNorwegian Who gives a fuck? We're talking 'bout legendary sports bike from 90s and you dare to compare it to a new MX? The Cagiva Mito 125 is more famous than the whole KTM brand, just like the Aprilia RS125 (fuck the 4 stroke RS4, we want our rotax back) Anyway, you can't compare a MX to a Sports bike, the KTM might be a little faster, but it can't turn worth *SHET*
Great video, a few bikes missing from it, however...that pronouncement of Bimota may of driven me insane 😂
I ride a dinky little Honda H100 from '86. 99cc. Still more than enough power to lift the front tire way way up, from a rolling start. 2 strokes are massively underrated.
Great description of a 2 stroker or STINK WHEEL as I called my RGV 250 SP Jap import in black which I loved to death.
i love 2 strokes, even in 2019 they still make em, well they better, the demand for them is there, im not the only one who loves them
Have Honda NSR 125 R, year 89. Original 28 hp two stroke, single cylinder, water coled engine. With Polini upgrades close to 40 hp and 0-60 mph in less than 4 sec.
I was 18 rode round on Kawasaki 500 H1B, jumped on a mates CR500. No problem, knoblies and on grass no sweat. Erm no dont use first he says so i snicked 2nd and gunned it. The only bike thats ever put me in a tree! Brilliant, what an engine, its a beast.......kerpow!
Bimota vi dues had crankcase seal issues more than efi issues, they work great if you get them to seal right
Good video! I have kmx 125 92, 2 stroke, water cooled and 23 hp!
23 hp out of a 125 2 stroke?!
BRDFX | meeh yes, is a enduro bike
Edit 23 at 9500 rpm
I have driven one. 23 hp is not enough for it. My 2010 KTM EXC 125 has over 10 hp more than kmx. Even my friend’s -92 yz 125 has 34 hp
Atte Pajula Yep, my kmx is the street version, is limited and has mirrors and lights, very good bike
My Husky 125 makes about 40 hp?
Had both the 250cc and 400cc Honda V3 two strokers, strange devices that never sounded that quick but they were both very quick, regret selling them.
I ride a 1983 honda cr480, makes a lot of power and torque but not that hard to ride when you know how. Requires throttle control, respect, and proper riding position to stay in control when the power is on.
I love how he described two strokes at the beginning
Hey, nice that you've mentioned Maico. I live in Pfäffingen, am small village near Stuttgart in Germany, where Maico produced their Motorcycles. I even visited the old testing track a few days ago :) Its interesting to hear people talk about this very special company bc only a very few even knows maico. Have a great day an Greetings from Germany
Note. The factory NSR250 racers and the street NSR250 shown were only alike in capacity, general layout and the fact that they were 2 strokes.
The factory NSR500 shown next was again a factory racer.
In 1986 Suzuki sold 12 RG500 GAMMA's in Canada and was the fastest bike sold for years. The 1987 Gamma had a big drop in power to 95hp. The 1987 would top out at 10,000 rpm but the 1986 would run to 12,500 rpm but needed at least 7500 rpm to move.
Yamaha RZ350LC was the cream of the crop...and the RZV500LC was a beast.
86hp cr500? I have 4 of them & have yet to see one output anywhere near that. Nice thought about Honda producing a fuel injected 2 stroke but I seriously doubt it.
Maico 490 Alpha 1, now that was one hell of a bike
I had a yz 490 . Great bike. Even as a 2stroke it was a torque monster
I’m sorry but I absolutely love 2 strokes over 4 strokes as well as Wankel rotary engines, yes the Suzuki RE5. Because in the hands of a skilled person that uses proper throttle control. Those engines are truly, technically all around cleaner engines with a sequential transmission.
Great video got to love two strokes
I've been riding 2 stroke motorcycles on the road nearly everyday for the past 39 years. They can be an addiction that lasts a lifetime. It all starts with that first 2 stroke powerband experience and then your hooked.....
I borrowed my son's 1985 CZ 125 a few years ago to ride into town. Saw a kid on a new top of the range Yamaha 125cc R1 wannabe bike. He wanted to race so he blasted off down a long straight, head in the fairing, ass in the air. As I easily overtook him, I pointed to the engine and mouthed, "Two Stroke", then just left him to choke on the blue haze.
That's the point. Even a 1985 2 stroke commuter bike (with the restrictors removed) will still eat a 2015 expensive top of the range 4 stroke 125cc.
Can't believe you put in the Ronax and not the Suter!!
V due still looks the nuts to this day
Coolest 2-stroke engined (track) bike ever made imho: Honda NSR 500 from the early 90's :D
Early to mid 90's Moto GP was something else, going to the track and seeing people like Mick Doohan and Kevin Schwantz battling it out on barely controllable 2-stroke 500cc bikes was extremely exciting, nothing like now when they have all the time to grab another riders front brake and act like arseholes.
Well done brother. Appreciate your research. U prob seen it already but movie Faster talks in depth about the 500. Sick sick bikes.
at 6.00 the bike sounds EXACTLY like my moped, no joke. It's a reiju drac rr 2005 or something like that. It's 2 stroke as well :)
My brother and I have an early 90s kx500 I'm not sure the exact year he's the one who bought it but this thing is unbelievably violent. This thing will pull your arms out of the sockets. It's awesome on a motocross track or fire roads but in tight Trails I'd much rather have my KDX 200. It is a lot of fun though in a scary kind of way!
What about the Yamaha RZ500. I bought mine new in 1985 and still have. It's almost mint.
The 1928 Scott 'flying squirrel' was a 600cc water cooled twin. Back to 1909 500cc water cooled twin.
I know how good 2 strokes are. I had a Honda NS400R when I was stationed in Japan with the Rothmans paint livery.
Bimota..were one of the few companies that had all the best already added to the frame and you choose the engine. I think it's pronounced like one word bim ota
No mention of the Aprilia RS 250, really wanted one of those when i was younger.
Didn't even mention the RD 125 DX. Like the best bike. 😁
