While most everyone else has moved on to the land of 4 strokes, there’s a group of intrepid engineers and builders in Australia devoted to the idea of building a 500cc 2 cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle, starting with the Aprilia RS250 chassis and installing their own highly engineered 2 stroke powerplant.

Grand Prix Engineer Wayne “Wobbly” Wright who has a 30 year career building GP engines and pipes went to work on the engine and the finished piece puts out 112 horsepower and 60 foot pounds of torque. Mounted in a bike weighing 286 pounds total and having the power delivery you would expect from a 2 stroke gives you a bike that one might call entertaining.

The idea here is to bring 2 stroke technology up to the best that can be built right now and place it in a modern frame and suspension package, a combination you can’t buy in your neighborhood showroom.

The company the group formed is called the Two Stroke Shop, and besides many other parts for the 2 stroke fanatic, they offer not only complete RS 500 motorcycles but also the engines alone or kits to adapt your own RS250 to accept their engine.

There are no prices on the site, expensive I’m sure, but what they offer seems somewhat unique. It’s an extremely interesting setup and just the thing to surprise the heck out of your average GSX-R pilot. I like it.

My little rocket weighs 321 #'s with all fluids but gas as it sits right now. It puts out about 84 hp at the crank. (904 stock, 42mm keihins, Moto Corse full system). If I go with the FBF big bore kit :

BF 944cc big bore Kit
12.1 pistons
Titanium connecting rods
FBF power crank
FBF ported cylinder heads
Oversized valves
Lightweight flywheel

If Ferracci installs it, they guarantee 100 hp AT THE REAR WHEEL.

Lesse; if I ditch the Antara mags and go with Dymag CF's, I'll save a whopping 24 lbs alone. (http://www.oncycles.com/dymag/carbon.asp). The aluminum flywheel saves almost 6 lbs., Ti clipons, pegs, CF custom bodywork for the top and side panels, and mebbe Ti triples and lighter weight rotors than the big Brembos, I should be able to shave another 5-8 lbs....that should put me in the 285-9 range; it'll make more power everywhere but most of it goes to the top end, it won't have the all-or-nothing lightswitch powerband of a highly tuned two-stroke......

HMMMMMM....................................
