  • Suter Racing SRT 500 V4:

    500cc, dry weight: 125kg, 200hp. I would take the 2-Stroke.

    Not to mention the 2-Stroke also makes far more torque than the rotary.

    Nothing against rotary. It kicks 4-Stroke ass. But a 2-stroke would beat it.

  • such a beautiful music.

see all

  • If i ever get the six numbers up these are the first guys im phoning...

  • That bike is amazing, makes the hairs on my neck stand up! Love it more than a crisp 2stroke

  • I have owned 14 bikes since 1976 . US emission statutes were the beginning of banning 2strokes by legislation.  Had zip to do with the market . I can still by a 250 2 stroke , and wish that Suzuki still made the Gamma . ( let alone the Bus ! ) . Brian Crighton had the ROTON RPG588 competing at Philip Island GP in 1992 , and it was BANNED, because certain factories who do NOT hold the liscense to build one were SCARED. And I do NOT like the way FIM rate its capacity .

  • @kiroc89 What's wrong with a 2-stroke street bike? Imagine a bike with the same power output as a 1000cc Superbike with 30lbs less weight than a 600. That sounds nice to me.

  • @TheOfficialKC

    the market will always be the driving force. Noboby wants (you included) a 2 stroke street bike or this rough riding monster, albeit they are awesome and fun to watch. I'll take the benefits of the trickle down engineering from motogp that are not all that insanely different from our street rides. It's still plain fun to watch.

  • @kiroc89 It's called racing regulations. If 2-strokes and rotaries were allowed equal rules with 4-strokes in racing, the 4-stroke would not exist.

    On top of that 2-strokes haven't been able to meet emissions standards until recently. But that won't cause you to see them, as the big 4 Japanese brands are doing everything to get rid of them to sell their more profitable 4-strokes.

  • @TheOfficialKC

    Let me get this straight.....

    4 stroke > rotary > 2 stroke

    And yet all you see anywhere is 4 stroke. Yep, all makes total sense.

  • I love the way the intake went up and down with the revs :)

  • my new favorite bike.

  • sooo slim and sleek. just plain awesome
