My own personal favourite 2 stroke
http://www.bikeexif.com/kawasaki-h1-mach-iii-2
Had the dubious honour of falling off one,also was a pillion on it going down a short but steep hill when the throttle jammed open in 1st gear,great cure for constipation. ;D

Also liked this,not quite as scary as the 500 imo,the handling was poor whereas the handling on the 500 was downright dangerous.

RD 500 suffered from water and crap from the front tyre onto the two plugs aswell, not as good as the Gamma 500 in my opinion

Werent many of them around,mostly written off and lots of owners in the cemetery.A combination of atrocious handling and all the power coming in with a bang at a certain point in the rev range.
You could be wrestling it around a bend and all of a sudden the power output goes from 20 - 60 bhp and before you know it the front wheel is 2 feet in the air and your heading for the wrong side of the hedge.All great fun. :y ;D
I have a love/hate thing with the little kH 250,still get dewey eyed over them but I have one of those to thank for my limp and being deficient in the working kidney department to the tune of one. ::) ;D

The sound and smell of two strokes is just something else :y

I knew a bloke who had a kettle in the 70,s loved it so much he brought it indoors and had a 1st birthdat party for it.He was a nutter,he got caught so many times speeding etc,and when his bans had added up to 27 years and he still kept riding it,they locked him up.Funny thing was his dad was a copper. ;D
He was the well behaved son of the family though,his brother was a gunman. ::)
