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.

  never actually heard of that one, know of the KH250

Don't the centre pot used to get a bit hot on those 2 stroke triples

It did youth
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.
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.

Another nice old 2 stroker which has a big following and is worth a few quid

Nice looking bike pete,but pitifully slow.

[Darth Loo-knee]

Nice one........   And my era, I got rid of my last bike in2005, a Honda CB750 my type of 'sit up and beg' cruiser....sadly missed on the odd sunny day

Interesting how my mistaken thread has taken a new life, typical oof.....

The sound and smell of two strokes is just something else

The sound of the blokes Rocket acroos the road with straight through pipes on is something else too 2300 cc

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.
He was the well behaved son of the family though,his brother was a gunman.

Not built for the twisties though are they.Nice bike to have if you live in the U.S. imo.

The Suzuki GT750 was called a Kettle because it was water cooled
