More words from MXA about 2 Strokes!

[dutchdirtbikes]

Beta sells 2T trials bikes and BMW owns Husqvarna (which makes 2T's).

Yeh off course   
So it becomes even more weird why magazines are zweig death the twostrokes.
there are only two only fourstoke sellers

How 'bout a chime in from our Canadian members like Ford - can you still get KX's and RM's up by the arctic circle, and if so what are the prices at local dealers?  I'm only about a 4 hour drive from the border here in southern Maine, might be worth a look.....

Nope, no Suzuki, Kawasaki, or Honda two strokes are available.  Your options up here are Yamaha's or KTM's... the funny thing is I used to remember a day (not too long ago, Im only 28) when owning a KTM was... for lack of a better term... gay.  Well not anymore.  90% of the riding I have done is bush riding and without a doubt the trails in the rockies are being navigated mostly by orange machines.  Which I think is great, people up here are getting fed up with four strokes as well, and you can see it on the trails.  Honestly 5... 6... 7 years ago seeing a KTM in the bush was kinda like seeing a Sasquatch.  Not anymore, they dominate the brand of bike found offroad up here, and they are mostly premix models.  The 300's are hugely popular.   

I talked with a Suzuki dealer the other day if there were plans to import RM's to Canada... he laughed and said "Nobody wants two strokes anymore man... four strokes are where its at!"  I said... "Well, looks like its a orange bike for me then."  He wasn't too impressed lol

I have found a brand new leftover 08 RM 250... but where its at is a secret.    The same Suzuki dealer who told me four strokes were the cats meow told me there were no leftover RM's in Canada.  After I made a few phone calls I found one.  Hows that for a "dealer network." 

Anyways MXLord, if you are a Canuck, your only real choices for two strokes are KTM's, Yamaha's... and I know there is a TM dealer in Saskatchewan and I believe in Vancouver.  Other than that... the used market has some deals available still.

If i'm not mistaken, there should also be a GasGas importer for the USA.
Anyway, i looked up the prices for a RM125 and RM250 in the Netherlands.
RM125 = 5490 euro's, RM250 = 5990Euro's. Nowadays they have the newer RM-Z
plastics. They can be ordered at any European Suzuki dealer, if they are not in stock.
For a KX125 or KX250, it's best to go to Rabbit Racing in The Netherlands,
they can still get adult size KX 2 strokes.

Indeed.
Those are the ones i meant. For Holland it's Rabbit Racing and V.D. Vegt.
And in Belgium, Jadoul Motorsport (in Rochefort) is the dealer for these KX's.

I found me a brand new 08 RM 250 and traded a used 08 Brute Force 750 4x4 quad for it straight up a few months ago.

Good to hear, funny how the salesman told me they were all gone.  Guess he really wanted to move that 4 stroke heap on his showroom floor.
