Honda done making 2-strokes after 2007

[jeremy retzsch]

I just read in dirtbike magazine that after 2007 Honda will no longer be making 2-stroke motocross or off-rode dirt bikes.

why???

[klutchbuster400]

hmmmm, was this dirtwheels an 06 june issue?
Get with the times man, why do you think yamaha didnt make the banshee this year for 07

[B.MURRAy]

I remember in Dirtwheels there is a 2-stroke ban on them.  Can they not produce them anymore or is it there choice?  Suzuki Still has the RM250

They cant produce them due to emission regulations, I guess suzuki is starting late lol.

I might be wrong but its not that they cant make them its that they dont want to. Due to recent changes in emission regulations in order for a 2 stroke to pass it hase to run alot cleaner then in the past. So they would have invest $$ in R&D to see if they could make one pass. Even then if the motor cant make enought power (which it probally wont) all the money spent was a waste.

last yr supercross raced the 250f and the 450f   250 4 stroke =125 2 stroke and the 450 4stroke = 250 2 stroke   they did away with 500 2 stroke class yrs ago   get used to the 4 stroke  the only way to buy a 2 stroke is used

[Fox17]

with everyone goin to 4 strokes and the goverment regs. they wont be making them any more. soon NO one will. they have talked bout banning the production of the 2 stroke anything (boat motor, cycle, everything). heck they make 4 stroke weed-eaters now. the crf150r was the nail in the coffin basically. 2 years there will be no production of them.

[trx#9]

Its to expensive to make both when the 2 strokes are out sold 10 to 1.

[Quadracer]

it is the same reason that yamaha got rid of their 2 strokes.

Inside Bruce Crower's Six-Stroke Engine

bruce crower founder of crower cams cranks rods and other performance parts is working on this.

[xr100racer]

that is very interesting. he just thought of an idea for a new kind of engine and it worked, maybe we will all be driving 6-stroke vehicles one day

[dirtkicker]

They are placing a ban on two stroke engines in the U.S. Even outboard motors for boats falls into this catagory, by 2010 there will not be any more production of 2 stroke engines of any kind.

[KXKID]

that sucks

[4fittyr]

but they will have parts avaiable so u could build one and they can't take ur's away from u either

[tat2mike]

they dont need to make 2 strokes in 2007 the ones from the 80s and 90s  are still passing 2007 four strokes
