Its sad that 2 strokes cost so much to develop but honestly, I enjoyed riding an RD250 for awhile, they ARE indeed fun little machines, and simple to work on, but thats about all really. once you get into the technical details of keeping them running dependably, which I might add is hard if you're like me and like to run 2 strokes hard all the time, they lose their appeal.

Depends...I used to endurance race (12 and 24 hr races) a Gt750 Suzi; and that thing used to take abuse that brought most bikes to their knees....and we won or placed A LOT.....we raced one whole season on one engine...one crank, one set of jugs......
