I think once the Japanese other than Yamaha pulled out of the two stroke market it was a done deal! The vacuum has been filled mostly by the Europeans that still engage in R&D and continued improvement. If the Japanese were to re-enter the two stroke market their product would have to be revolutionary and they would have to cater to off-road. With present political and displacement racing rules for motocross and supercross that would be their only option in my opinion. KTM and other European manufacturers now dominate off-road. I don't how the Japanese would be able to capture the off road market to the point of profitability. As previously stated it would have to something absolutely revolutionary and I don't see that happening?

I myself haven't believed whatever Jeremy is getting ready to reveal with Kawasaki to be a new 2T...
my 1st thoughts were if they're possibly going to do something similar to what KTM just released...a factory edition model...I don't know.

just have to wait and see...
but watch, it'll end up being something stupid...like "bold new graphics"!!...I'll be bummed.

I would love for all the rumors to be true, but when 3 of the big 4 dropped their full-size 2str MX models, I pretty much knew it was forever.  Unless the bean-counters saw it profitable enough, even with the current unfavorable enviromental political climate that binds the larger motorcycle manufactures to stricter guidelines & approvals, it would really have to be very profitable to relaunch new 2str full-size product (being that most have dropped out around '07-08).  Until then, we'll be the lone green 2str's in a sea of orange at the races.

The steering wheels are on the wrong side :-D that would kind of be like having the kick starter on the left side.
Nice cars I dont think they brought them over here intill the early 70s
