The old two strokes i always found more fun when they started fitting power valves to smooth the power out it sort of spoilt it for me but they are still fun. The last 2 stroke road bike i had a go on was a suzuki RGV250 i found the only way i could ride it was flat out incredible machine on the twisty roads around here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who Roger is, nor could I give the slightest fuck. But @Bruce is a gentleman and I stand by my previous statement: don't be a brit twat, instead try to be an adventurous gentleman from the UK.
