Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2007I got beaten
On my Daytona, by a 2-stroke. Not just any 2-stroke like an RGV, Aprilia RS or TZR, but a f.cking old 1988 Yamaha TDR250, tuned to the hilt and running on a TZR 3XV swingarm, Pretech R1 caliper and very sticky rubber. He left me for dead down a road around the back of Woburn Abbey that he knows well, and is as twisty as any road I have ever ridden. I suppose I never stood a chance anyway, no matter what bike he was on - Ratty, a mate of mine and Danny's, used to race in the Aprilia RS250 Challenge, and did very well in it too. That thing absolutely flies across bumpy roads where my Daytona was tying itsef in knots. -- Lozzo > On my Daytona, by a 2-stroke. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > That thing absolutely flies across bumpy roads where my Daytona was > tying itsef in knots.

Very cheap and simple to fix. If you put that near a BMW dealer you'd be clearly certifiable.

And you think the newer ones are any better? If anything, it's the older ones that were better - just google a bit for "BMW failure" or similar. -- Lozzo >>> speedys...@googlemail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> Ah, the famed BMW reliability, you've gotta love it...if you're a BMW >> dealer charging full whack for the repairs f.ck me, and you c.nts _dare_ to call _me_ 'tedious' ...

Why, when there are so many faster and morer reliable strokers that went round corners and had brakes worth speaking of? A Kawasaki triple of any variety would be almost bottom of my list of desireable strokers, mixing in with all the Villiers and Bantam engined shite produced. I'd rather own an NSU Quckly[1].

I refuse to go to Honda-World on a 2-stroke. Honda made shite road- going strokers compared to Yamaha and Suzuki , Kawasakis efforts were even more appalling. -- Lozzo We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.

Hmm. New job[1] with free use of MX course plus temptations back towards the dark side - I probably shouldn't mention I've been wondering recently if it's time to say goodbye to the Fantic.
