It's a bit long, but very informative on many levels. I wonder how the 4 stroke fanatics on KTM talk in the MX section will read or attempt to take it in - the usual response is "2 strokes are done in MX/SX" or ,"nothing is faster than a 450 4t". So many people have been brainwashed - Honda being the major force behind all the BS.

2000 CR250, pipe, filter, Vforce
1980 XL80s
1969 Broncco TX-6
Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

Who those partners are Orbital won’t say, though an ADI-equipped EXC300 from KTM is strongly rumoured. But what it will say is telling: “Everyone, except Honda, is harbouring significant two-stroke thoughts” says Ahern.
Except Honda....assholes will miss the boat on this one. Oh well, the trusty 5 will live on I s'pose.
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...


"Ricardo’s 2100cc 2/4SIGHT experimental engine is able to switch from 2-stroke to 4-stroke operation. It uses a 2-stroke cycle to meet demands for high torque and 4-stroke for constant-throttle running"
Say what?

I'd say it's pretty much like how the hybrids work, ICE engine for acceleration , then onto electric for cruising. In this case , 2t for accel, 4t for gutless cruising, DFI & ignition will just cut to every 2nd stroke injection & firing. Wonder if it is like a 2t diesel?
Just hope this ( the 2t DFI) all happens & we can get back to the real world - bikes of the same capacity racing against each other. It's funny how those that say that 2ts are dead & useless, never face up to having equal capacities, they just avoid the issue & rant on about how superior the 4ts are......
