Jimi007 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I came out of the 7-11 on the beach road of Rawai with my wife and this younger guy kept looking at my motorbike and me. I finally said; what? This thing has a lot more power than whatever little scooter you're riding. He said, I know. I've about killed myself on my 150 cc 2 stroke twice! Then he said, I collect 2 stoke bikes. I said mine is all original, he replied I know! Let me know if you want to sell! Usually people give me crap about my bike, until I go flying by them! Anyway, it was a bit amusing... Edited May 15, 2013 by Jimi007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi007 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I thought they were illegal. It's a 1997 Honda Smile S. 110 cc two stroke. Nothing illegal about it. Fully registered, and tested. It has 37,000 original KMs on it. Really fun to ride. It has a large expansion chamber that is stock as well. I've only seen one other like it in many years here. I guess everyone else crashed theirs. Edited May 15, 2013 by Jimi007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi007 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) What does it rev to? How many RPM's? No tachometer. But the Thai kids I go flying by later see me at the petrol station and make a very high pitched sound, then smile and we all laugh! I can go over 70 kph in third gear up hill, so pretty high rpms.

brfsa2 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I love those 2 stroke bikes... so much POWER! specially at the 3rd gear. I used to ride my friends 2 Stroke Honda Sonic 110cc, maximum speed 140KM/s, out of red lights on 1st gear I smoked the shit out of the scooters. I smoke even the 150cc CBRs if you love old bikes like me, watch this movie: "The World's Fastest Indian" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World's_Fastest_Indian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 "I love those 2 stroke bikes... so much POWER! specially at the 3rd gear." The 'power' doesn't relate to the gear, but to the torque band, and that's a narrow rpm band in a 2 stroke, unlike a 4 stroke, which has a wide torque band, so much smoother acceleration. I think 2 strokes should be outlawed because of the visual and noise pollution they cause, spewing smoke, and a horrible rattly sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebike Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 My '97 TZM 150... basically half a RZ350. Kills 2 stroke step-throughs, and just about any 4 stroke on the twisties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another bike that I use for errands that has 73,000 KMs on it. No, I'm not selling it. I need wash it and paint the expansion chamber soon.

Gsxrnz Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Back in the day I raced Yamaha RD350's and TZ250's. Also had RZ350's and the first water cooled 2 stroke, the LC350. Got a fully restored RD400G that I've re-jetted, re-filtered, fitted DG racing expansion chambers and wiseco pistons. Goes like stink but tends to melt pistons due to the re-jetting. Keep the needle in the red area on the tacho for more than 30 seconds and "bang". Got three sets of spare cylinders though, so that's at least another dozen rebores! Seriously, the 2-stroke/smokes back in the 70's and 80's were the bees knees. Power band really meant something back in those days, and you could do a lot for the bike with simple mods or cheap replacements parts like reeds and jets. I still love to hear even the small 2 stroke bikes you see around here, but it breaks my heart to see a TZ350 strapped to a sidecar selling sticky rice and BBQ pork!

vijer Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yes two stroke engines produce more power, but they also produce a hell of a lot more noise and air pollution. Good ridance to your bike. Everytime I see and hear one of these noisy smelly machines I want to run into it. That would be amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
