It was a dark day when Kawasaki discontinued the 2-stroke back in 2007. I cried. Our writers cried. The world cried. Collectively, we bemoaned Team Green killing our favorite brappy-bois, though we understood that it's hard to build an environmentally neutral 2-stroke and make a profit.
Plus, 4-strokes are just so much easier to deal with on a maintenance level, too.
But according to Kawasaki, enough people were sad when the 2-strokes of its lineup went away, it's been working on something in secret. Something secret and fun. Something with a "2" and "strokes". Something that, as Kawasaki puts it, "everyone's been asking for." Yep, you guessed it, Kawasaki is buying Yamaha's snowmobile business!
Just kidding, it's bringing back its 2-stroke dirt bikes. Woohoo!
