I had two RZ350s from the mid-80's. One had a race modded Banshee motor in it. That little bike would top 130.

If you want the real 70s and 80s two-stroke experience, try one of these... you'll be put off them for life.

My favourite was the 250cc and the 297cc 6 cylinder Honda’s that Mike Hailwood rode, the sound was really something else reving up to 18000 rpm
the 297cc was designed to race in the 350cc class it was really rapid.
i remember being at Malory Park for was was then the 1000 Guinea race it was open to all classes, riders included Agostina ,Phil Read, Bill Ivy and Barry Sheene and a whole host of top riders with all types and capacity of bikes.
Mike Hailwood was on the 297cc he lapped everyone apart from Giacomo Agostini who was ridding the 500cc MV Augusta

Uh, yes very high RPM., but they are not 2- strokes. They also made them as small as 125cc, always wondered how small those tiny valves were in a 6 cyl. 125 cc 4-stroke eng. Maybe about like the 4-stroke weed eaters of todayLast edited by rphillips; 06-20-2024, 09:35 AM.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.
