If you know me, you know I love 2-strokes. I love the sound, the smell, and just the sight of a well-made expansion chamber. Every category of 2-stroke engines has a place in my heart, from 49-500cc, except for the 2-stroke featured in this video because, well, I had never seen a legitimate 600cc 2-stroke dirt bike before.
Can we all just pause for a minute and look at that expansion chamber? What a work of art.
Go to almost any YouTube video featuring an old-school 500cc 2-stroke dirt bike, and you'll find comments from folks who want to know how a "modern" version would do against today's 450 class. More recently, on the other side of the fence, people want to know how a Stark Varg would do against the biggest bikes in the Supercross game.
Basically, everyone seems to want to know what could take down a factory 450 motocross bike.
