Default 2 strokes in the U.S.

Am i the only one who thinks they should bring back the old smokers like the nsr 500 250 and the rgv 500. I know its a lot of emissions crap to get over to bring them to the U.S., but who wouldnt want a nsr 500 to track or rocket through town on?
Theres a guy who rips a 500 around here every once in a while and my pecker sticks up every time i see it.

I kinda like the 2 stroke bikes. get the squids to learn how to ride those bitches, they'd forget straightline speed in a hurry. nothing like a merciless 2 stroke bike to make a squid its bitch.

They're pretty sweet, and very nostalgic, but damn, narrow, peaky powerband. They're hard to ride.

You can still ride'em in NC if your lucky enough to find one that was street legal to start with. Forget about streeting an old race bike.
