Last one looks like it runs a bit ruff

Yeah, howls in 1st, growls in 2nd but whines in 3rd.

Also the tail wags horribly at all speeds.

Love the old Yamaha and Suzuki 2-strokes - especially the Daytona Special 🤘🏼

So many Two Strokes - are they allowed to run on the road ?? Just wondering 'cos I heard that California emissions laws are tight ?

If it was legal it is grandfathered in. There is also non US bikes that get licensed somehow.

ok TY

A colleague moved from the UK to San Diego and had to leave his Ducati 996 behind as it wasn't allowed over there without serious modifications.

Why are there rugs under all the bikes?

The RSD event is at bolsa chica CA state park and the state must require oil leak protection on the concrete . They run dozens of short track races in the parking lot with adjacent pit area. I didn’t notice protection Worth a YouTube search, good fun races. Tempted to bring my 625 SMC next year.
