Why did you feel the need to specify just bikes being non fruity? Everything else fruity is just dandy then?

Keeps the tyre from wobbling, of course if you run tires, get a damper.

looks comfy, with enough rear brake.
Ronax 500...
V-4 2 stroke 160hp, yes please. 100,000 Euros, no thanks. Cool bike, thx for posting.
It's also Euro 3 compliant, road legal. Uses GDI and a 200:1 gas to oil ratio.
Japan refuses to go back to two-strokes, even though they can be made clean. The leader on this R&D right now is Evinrude. Japan decided to never go back to two-strokes.
I'm hoping someone like KTM or Rotax revisits this.
For a great history of two strokes, read Max Oxley's "Stealing Speed: the biggest Spy scandal in motorsport history". Great stories about how the modern two stroke was perfected by ex-Nazi rocket engineers working for MZ in Communist Germany, and how Suzuki stole all of the technology.
