That brings back memories. My grandparents lived in Quincy. That is a very scenic (and very curvy) drive up highway 70.

I always thought those twin 2-strokes were cool and would be a gas (and oil...ha ha) to ride

Oh they were. First or second gear you could launch the front tire as high as you wanted. Or flip it if you weren't careful. And they were so light & the Yamahas handled extremely well. You did need to install a steering damper & good tires that is it. You could turn in tighter than the bigger bikes and actually pass them on the inside. Of course they'd pull away at the next straight but it was all good fun. The absolute funnest thing on those was real tight first and second gear corners you could have the front wheel in the air while spinning & sliding the rear right at the limits of traction. Did I mention that you needed good tires?

I had a 71 RD 200 that looked a lot like this one. Same color. I paid a whopping 90 bucks for it. It was a fun little bike and I wish that I still had it. And yes it was really easy to pop a wheelie.

I didn't take that pic. I have no pic's of my bike, but here's one that I did take. This is on the windshield of my CST and it looks like it's been there a long time.

There were 2 two stroke twins that as soon as you heard them coming you knew what they were. The Yamaha's and the old Bridgestone's sold by Monkey Wards. Both had sounds all their own.

**special-K** · 03-14-2024, 09:31 PM

I miss the smell

**72 tigger** · 03-14-2024, 10:00 PM

Besides the street bikes, there were 350 Banshees too

That always was my favorite ATV to ride. Never owned one however.

Banshees definitely have a unique shreek to them when on the pipes. I've always had dirtbikes and quads but never had a Banshee. I have raced against them on several occasions in the Michigan sand over the years though.

For me, I like single cylinder big bore two strokes better. I didn't take the first pic but it's of me giving somebody the jump on an '86 CR500 running on alcohol with an extended swingarm and 12 cup paddle tire racing up the sand hill called bull gap in the 90's. I did just notice a Banshee in the background of that pic.

I still have the bike and take it to the dunes every now and then to have some fun.

You had to bring up the Banshee

Plenty done to it for performance and looks

Do you remember the smell of Caster Oil Pre Mix...

Mixed with nitromethane! Racing perfume.

I was at the U-pull-it today looking for S10 stuff and found this once custom S10. It must have been pretty nice in the day. It looked as it may have had a custom interior but most of it was gone by the time I saw it.

**special-K** · 03-15-2024, 08:02 AM

I'm luvin' all the 2-stroke talk. I miss everything about them. Just say "expansion chamber" and you got my attention. I grew up on Hodaka 100, Husqvarna 125, CZ 125, then moved up to Ossa 250, then Bultaco 360. In the '80s I raced seniors class on a Suzuki RM 250. I wish I could have hung onto all of them

Very random photo I took.

The Russian one next to the Queen Mary. Didn't know that it was in such disarray. It was pretty cool inside.

Getting ready to head to a car show with a buddy and his son yesterday. I crawled in the back before they made it to the car. Snapped a pic.

When I see pics like this out of an airplane window seeing the engine it always reminds of the Twilight Zone episode with Shatner in it.
