Rossi is in the unique position of having raced and won on all the top category of bikes from 500cc two strokes to the present four stroke bikes dripping with electronic gizmos.He still says that the 500,s were the ultimate machine and much more tricky to ride at the limit than any of the 4 stroke formulas which have  been in place since.
Its all down to marketing though. No 2 stroke road bikes to speak of now,so manufacturers lost interest in spending millions on developing them for the track.

The launch of the RD500  my mate had a brand new one when we were all on Rd250's and GT250s  Putting a 500cc 2 stroke in a wooden frame wasnt a good idea

If you want to ride a real mans 2 stroke and cure constipation for evermore try to get a blast on a Kwacker 500 H1 or 750 H2.

It's hard to believe now, but when I was teenager only Honda made 4 strokes. Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki only made  smokey strokers.

The first 4 stroke Suzuki was the GS750 of 1976......and I wanted one.
