gixxer450 (10-06-2008): j espere que cest vrai, le 2 temps son superior quel les 4 temps,
motrhead (15-06-2008): If it looks like the original RZ, and not these awkward renderings, I may be waiting in line to buy one!
arber (30-06-2008): wow wow
bjourdan (31-08-2008): I hope Yamaha Japan is paying attention to the 2 stroke demand and enthusiasm. I just came from a 2 stroke motorcycle show we have annually here in Los Angeles, it grows every year. There were reps from Motul and Repsol on hand so I know someones paying attention...Simply, 2 strokes are more fun to ride and with half the money spent on R.&D.than on four strokes, two strokes would be non pollutant and much more fuel efficient. I own a Kenny Roberts signed(at Laguna Seca in 05') 84' "Roberts edition" RZ 350, and a 06' R6 anniversary edition(they look awesome together).They are both absolute works of art. I love the R6 but I must say the RZ is just funner to ride. The comments and reactions I get from my RZ are ones of absolute joy. Grown men that would normally not give you the time of day will break down and become little kids again when seeing and hearing the 2 stroke. A 2 stroke revival is definitely due, especially here in California. I also would like to complain that eliminating the 250 2 stroke class in Moto GP is a huge mistake and if anything they should simply add a 600 four stroke class instead of replacing the 250 2 strokes...That rendering of the yellow and black 09' RD 350 has me salivating and I would probably buy two right away, one to ride and the other to keep in pristine condition...I hope Japans big 4 gets back into making the best bikes the ever produced. The RD's and RZ's,the Kawi triples (insane), the Gammas (so beautiful), and the NSR's(what can I say...). Please bring back the 2 strokes...

We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
