Yamaha is still kicking a bit... Check out the new YZ250 trail model. Big piston fork, kickstand, heavy flywheel... Looks pretty good.

Thank you for the input guy's.
I will try to be more specific without going into details of my request, do any one know where I can find supporting documents about the restrictions in relation to motorcycles?
I need to present some official documents for a hearing, or whatever evidence about 2 stroke pollution, not necessary motorcycles, but this would be a good example.

 

Word has it that VW is going to start bringing MZ two strokes back into the US, as they have figured out how to make them pass emissions....oh, wait a minute...

 

I would think if the DMV registered it, and it is titled as a streetbike, and everything was done legitimately, not falsely, then the liability is on them. Sorry, can't help with documentation though.

I would try the two stroke forums.

EPA would likely be your best bet. Also look at the Southwest Research Institute as they did some emissions work for snowmobile manufacturers (over 10 years ago), work which eventually led to EPA emissions for sleds. Keep in mind, however, that much of the existing documentation pertains mostly to carbureted two-strokes and that any of the modern semi or direct injection engines are lights years ahead in terms of emissions...

if you can elaborate on exactly what it is you need perhaps I can be of further assistance, having dabbled in this stuff before.....

 

Good call Mikstr, thanks to all of you again.
