While most everyone else has moved on to the land of 4 strokes, there’s a group of intrepid engineers and builders in Australia devoted to the idea of building a 500cc 2 cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle, starting with the Aprilia RS250 chassis and installing their own highly engineered 2 stroke powerplant.

Grand Prix Engineer Wayne “Wobbly” Wright who has a 30 year career building GP engines and pipes went to work on the engine and the finished piece puts out 112 horsepower and 60 foot pounds of torque. Mounted in a bike weighing 286 pounds total and having the power delivery you would expect from a 2 stroke gives you a bike that one might call entertaining.

The idea here is to bring 2 stroke technology up to the best that can be built right now and place it in a modern frame and suspension package, a combination you can’t buy in your neighborhood showroom.

The company the group formed is called the Two Stroke Shop, and besides many other parts for the 2 stroke fanatic, they offer not only complete RS 500 motorcycles but also the engines alone or kits to adapt your own RS250 to accept their engine.

There are no prices on the site, expensive I’m sure, but what they offer seems somewhat unique. It’s an extremely interesting setup and just the thing to surprise the heck out of your average GSX-R pilot. I like it.

Yeah that might ruin me forever...Like a Jessica Alba/ Jessica Biel sandwich, how much can your brain stand?:drool:

You sick bastard.

that looks pretty badass to me. I"ll take 5 of em!

according to their specs that comes to 2.56 lbs per hp. Now I was just sitting here trying to come up with a poor boy option...I know a typical middle weight RR can be tuned into 118 hp and track prepped to 370 some odd pounds or 3.14 lbs per hp.

Someone help me find a way to get a cheapo used 600 down to 300 lbs...or cheap durable engine mods to get 145 hp in a 370 lbs chassis.

Of course there is no way to duplicate the light and responsive nature of a bike weighig just 286 lbs. Or the responsiveness of a tuned 500 cc 2 stroke so I am probably better off spending my time wanking to old Jessica Biel photos huh:idk:

Hey better yet,what about the 750? Seriously,once you remove all the "street gear",sub frame,etc wouldn't that meet your criteria? Hey,I used to ride a RZ350 back in the day and I understand what a 2-stroke can bring to the table but....for power band,reliability,tune-ability,etc don't 4-strokes beat them hands down?
