Suter 500 V4

I'd love to ride a modern 2-stroke, dirt or otherwise. Always loved the way they sounded.

A bike that's not street legal doesn't do me much good, though. That's why I don't own one.

The street is pretty much the last place I would want to ride a 200hp, 284lb., two stroke.

My little 65 has got me an itch to try a 2t big bike. On paper they seem fantastic...

Cheaper MSRP by $2000(on new)
Cheaper to maintain
Almost equal power to 450s
Lighter weight than the lightest 250F
2ts are allowed in ALL big bike classes in amateur racing(unless 4t only class)

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...

I have missed more shifts on that bike and mis-timed the "hit" of the power band on both turns and jumps, and when we're talking 50+ft tables/doubles, whoops and turns that could mean a 5 rider pile up, the risk becomes ALOT greater than on a bike designed for a 9yo.
