Yamaha FSIE 50cc with pedals. Followed by Yamaha 125 twin followed by RD125LC before I went four stroke. The 2 strokes had lovely sound and smell ...!
My only 2-stroke was a Stihl 15"

I think if Sarah saw 15" she'd faint two stroke or four
Cue ///Badboy " Well I'm not cutting 3" off mine for anyone !"

the smell THE SMELL happy days, my road was similar but i went on to 250lc then 350 lc followed by the ypvs then i had a 500lc, worth a bomb now, mine was kenny robbers yellow.
he certainly was
Stayed away form the 350lc I thought it would kill me, they certainly broke a few of my mates back then, great power band but scary too, and skinny tyres too.
If it helps I got my first 2 Stroke when I was 16.... In 2000
FS1e RD125 RD250 Gt380 elsie (rd250lc) KHs2 350 then went on to 4 strokes v twins
good man
The only Two Strokes I remember in my young days were BSA Bantams and Ariel Arrows. They both wailed a lot but not as fast as my Norton!

Would you beleive I saw the monocoque frame and the tank off an Ariel Arrow (may have been a Leader) at work on Tuesday Mike? And the Bant, what an awesome machine!
