Re: Largest 2 stroke?
Hi Yoda
The ones that spring to mind that were made in any quantity were the Kwak H2 750 Triple....aka the widow maker, and the Suzuki GT750 kettle, but no doubt there is something rarer and more specialist out there!

Re: Largest 2 stroke?
Hi,the largest multi cylinders i know of are the Yamaha TZ750 the Suzuki GT750 and the Kawasaki KH 750. However for sheer lunacy the largest sigle cylinder two stroke is the Maico 760 which was a crazy bike which only made it to the american market as far as i know although they were planing a 900cc version of this.I had a Maico 490 and a Yamaha YZ465 and these two were enough to turn me into a gibbering wreck after 10 minutes of riding!

Re: Largest 2 stroke?
I must confess to being very partial to the sound of a big two stroke hitting it's power band.......
Ps. We're not talking 'ring ding ding' here..... More like a circular saw being forced into concrete!

Re: Largest 2 stroke?
Silk/Scott motorcycles were planning a 1000cc 2 stroker according to the wiki, but it never made it, now we open the debate to the rotorys, and their displacement, is technically a 2 stroke, but jury is open...... Suzuki RE5 and the Van Veen..... the clouds are getting greyer

Re: Largest 2 stroke?
I used to have a 2 stroke, twin pot Suzuki GT500, it's not a contender for the largest but the engine was very nice, the rest of the bike was sheer hell! a tank slapper even on a gentle curve!
