Team Suzuki GB Youth rider, James Dunn, waved the two-stroke flag in true style once again at the weekend, as the Suzuki RM125 rider battled against a field of 250cc four-stroke riders, to finish round two of the MXY2 championship held at Mallory Park in Leicestershire in a great sixth place overall.

2010 GLEN HELEN NATIONAL: OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Glen Helen Raceway regretfully announces that it will not host Round two of AMA 250/450 Nationals on May 29, 2010.

This press release was discovered by an eagle-eyed two-stroke fan from Brazil. Thanks Edward!

Please note that it barely mentions that Shane was on a two-stroke 200 with a “DB Snorkel”. Also that he finished ahead of a Suzuki RMZ-450 four-stroke. So not only was Shane’s bike a two-stroke, but it was world’s quieter than any of the competition. This is super important in today’s environment where noise has become a huge challenge for motorcyclists world-wide.

From Transworld Motocross…

In spite of how much any of us like two-strokes, the sad truth of the matter is that two-strokes in America are slowly fading away. Thankfully, though, for two-stroke lovers in the US Yamaha still produces both a 125 and 250 two-stroke. We got invited out to Glen Helen for the day to test the 2010 YZ250. And even though there aren’t any new changes to the bike for ‘10, it was still a blast to ride. Watch the video to find out what our newest test rider and national pro Ryan Beat thought about the bike at the end of the day.

HILLSDALE, Mich., (March 24, 2010) – Kids on Cobra motorcycles continued to run up the big numbers synonymous with Cobra’s stellar racing heritage, this past two weeks sweeping every one of the 50cc class titles and adding podiums on the only American-made 65 as the kids took big steps towards becoming future pro motocross racers.

Looks like another Pro racer has “switched” to the two-stroke. This past weekend Broc Hepler showed up at a local indoor and outdoor track to race around on a YZ250.

Kind of interesting that he would choose a two-stroke, when all the world seems to be four-stroke “crazy”!

This segment will cover piston, rings and cylinder installation and power valve adjustment.

Tools required: Torque adapter, torque wrench, standard assortment of  metric tools.

Breaking cover for the first time since the press photo shoot in January the new 250 M.M.X. arrived at the popular Rogershill Raceway at Bere Regis last Wednesday to start filming for the new promotional video.

Big Thanks must go to Emma and Danny for providing us with the luxury of track one to ourselves allowing us the versatility of being able to use various parts of the track to film several takes without endangering ourselves or any other riders.

With continuous demands from around the globe being placed on Maico Internationals marketing department for a promotional video of the new M.M.X. in action we are pleased to announce that filming starts this coming week.

The three day shoot should provide enough raw footage for an informative and high octane insight into the bike, plus a little nostalgic glance to the past and that traditional Maico sound.
