Moto3

Anyone else excited by the prospect of the new moto3 GP class replacing the 125 two strokes with 250cc thumpers? I've seen some clips of the bikes in action and they sound fantastic.

It's almost like the rest of the world has finally realised what we were on about  ;)

AAAhhhh admit it Graham, there IS nothing in the world that sounds like a screeeeeeming Banshee than a two stroke on heat,unleashing jet like power in an instant. I didn't say it sounded great, but there is nothing in... Sos I have a tendency to repeat myself.

WWWWHHHaaaaaaaaa WHHHHAaaaaaa WHHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadink dink dink ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Back in the old days, sonny, back when 2t's reigned over the earth, there was a great dirttrack, Nay, a "scramble" track at Broadford in Victoria, none of this Yank "'Moto"' cr4p!! which Harry Honda sponsored for the up and growing minibike scrambles (Ive said it again!)to get the kids interested. After about 2 or 3 track days ALL 2t's were banned except for back yarders with lawn mower motors so Honda minibikes and Honda mini bike mini minded owners could actually finish a race without being lapped.
Now that did a lot for the mini industries for Yamaha , Suzuki and Kwaka. On the bright side the oldies did get a chance to actually see their kids going by and by and by and actually get a photo with a Kodak Brownie and not have their eardrums burst. A silver cloud in every situation.

These days its just much better to clean up a 2t sportie (rare now)in the twisties with the lazy boom boom boom. Its the only chance to get past, and get a good distance to the next corner.   $#@^!! powerbands!!
H1's still have the best reputation in my opinion..... go for it stop get off walk around the bend get on go for it, hold the wheel down stop get ofetc etc etc.......... OOOPS that was a humour section entry... Faaaaar out!!!

Andy,
don't tell me that your MZ has lost its powerband?  Do you think you might have mislaid it somewhere?

Admittedly none of them have very big ones but that is engineering for you.

I lost my XBR's powerband sometime in 1989.

I'm guessing it fell off the day the plug cap came loose over a big bump and I spent ages trying kick the swine back to life  :-[ I lost half an hour and a couple of kilos, so why not the power band too.

Looking at e-bay the standard ones all still seem quite narrow (about half an inch). I wonder if it's possible to fit two in parallel or would that turn it into a Jawa?  :-\

Mine was pulling like a train but pinking like a bastard until I did the timing and found that it was massively over advanced like twice what it is meant to be. Now it no longer pinking but seems less enthusiastic..
