You are correct. My excuse is that was ~50 years ago, which exceeds my memory's statute of limitations. Smile


Yep, I had to look it up and mine was an Ace 100cc. Half a century is very hard on the memory. Razz

Mine was Hodaka 90. Good little bike, road the logging roads and fire roads in Oregon on my day off when I was on a fire crew back in '68.

My young wife hard a Yamaha RD350 back in 1983. I had a RD400 new in ‘77. The 400 is long gone, but recently found a RD350 so my wife can ride again while I’m on my old Beemer. It has 5k original miles. Spend 20 years in dry, climate controlled storage.
The 350 is still a screamer when it hits the power curve up around 5-6k.

Yes sir. Take a look at these. KTM, Beta and Gas Gas make fuel injected two strokes.

This is what I rode to work today. It’s a 1996 Honda XR250L with about 4700 miles on it and not a scratch. I also just bought a 1973 Honda Trail 90 that is in great condition with only 5500+/- miles on it. I’ve never been a two stroke fan although a good friend of mine loved his Husky 2 strokes back in the 80s and 90s.

I cam here to post that my first two-stroke was a YZ125, but you beat me to it! (1980; first year water-cooled, I believe).

As I posted earlier I had a Husky 2-stroke, raced motocross. 50 yrs ago there were few 4-strokes in a motocross race. You could tell the 4-strokes, they had a lower rumble than the 2-stroke, and the 4-strokes always came in last.

1975 RM125 - first year for the RM
1980 CR250 - bought as a leftover new bike in ‘83 from dealer for approx 50% of MSRP
1999 YZ125 - loved that bike!
2001 KTM 250 MXC - dull
2005 YZ250 - first of aluminum-framed YZ’s

Favorite bike? That was either the YZ125 or a YZ426F. Both were fun and the contrast was neat.
