Imagine what 20 years of full blown 2t development would look like. They'd probably work so well we'd complain that they aren't trying to kill us anymore.

not just the YZ, there's also this YZ250X (and YZ125X) for people that won't be racing SX, MX - but prefer woods riding and even competing in Hare Scrambles and GNCC events.

Did you ever ride a KDX of any displacement? I owned a new KDX220R from 2005 until 2022 when I replaced it with my Beta 300. It was like going from the Stone Age to the Space Age in 1 giant leap for mankind  :righteous:

The KDX200 C, 1986-88, is my favorite enduro of all time.  That and the IT200 are my favorite woods bikes.  They're a perfect enduro.

Saw an article claiming that Yamaha was making a new RD350LC but not a 2-stroke.

Hard to tell is it was a junk article or not. They had some concept images that might have been AI. From the images it looked like a 3 cylinder with 6 header pipes  :huh:

Article was from India so who knows...
