They don't pay me enough to ride that thing
Copied from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Roberts "Kenny Roberts' fearless riding style was highlighted at the Indy Mile Grand National. In a desperate effort to keep Scott within reach in the points chase, Yamaha wedged a Yamaha TZ750 two-stroke road racing engine inside a dirt track frame. On a bike that was considered unrideable due to its excessive horsepower, Roberts came from behind on the two-stroke, and overtook the factory Harley-Davidson duo of Corky Keener and Jay Springsteen on the last lap for one of the most famous wins in American dirt track racing history. Afterward, Roberts was famously quoted as saying, "They don't pay me enough to ride that thing"." The engine source: http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...maha_tZ750.htm

Every time I see a big two stroke I think "Jeez that's the biggest 2 stroke I've seen that thing must rip" Then I come to find there's an even bigger one out there...

hmm, I wonder what would happen if I took say a zx-10r and engine swapped it with a 1000cc 2stroke, or what I already want to do someday build a bike with a 1.3L rotary from an rx-7/8
