Old RD maybe?
how old does the bike have to be for nostalgia and are there any handicaps for strokers when racing four strokes ?[apart from the piolt of course ..me in other words lol
Here you go Jim a more basic 2 stroke dragbike for you.
As you want to go quicker just add another motor.
Please pardon my ignorance, but since two strokes lack torque would that not mean they are all but useless in a drag-type environment?
i dunno dan thats why i wanna try one ...but i do know H2s were killing evrything in the seventies.their power to wieght ratio was way better than any of the contemporary four strokes .
they produce twice as many power strokes as a 4 stroke .
look at the 350ypvs in1983 [50bhp] and compare figures to a 350 performance 4stroke of similar capacity of the same era or an RG500 against... say an early GPZ600 [this would be about the time 4strokes were catching up ] if my memory serves me well the RG had nearly the same 0-60mph time as a GSXR750slabbie and an equivilant standing quarter time.
tell me those arent TS500lumps ...lolquote:Originally posted by ozkat

That is a bit of a myth, most two strokes of equal capacity will have more torque at lower rpm than four strokes. I think it is because people are used to comparing them on a performance basis, and for equal performance a four stroke is usually twice the capacity.quote:Originally posted by Cruisecontrol

That's why there's a guy up north (who unfortunatley doesn't bring his bike out very often)with a CR500 that just tears up the strip.
Last i heard it had run in the 9 second zone i think.
