The guy riding the unfaired bike down the drive was Korki Balington with his Kawasaki KR500 a square four very much like the racing Suzuki RG500, the unique disc valve 4 cylinder one in the on track footage was a Konig and it truly was an original design which was originally designed for marine use at the Konig factory in Berlin, this is another reminder that Germany was ahead of the rest of the world with early two stroke development. The Fortuna liveried bike is a Honda NSR500 as is the Repsol one.

[@barebonesmc]

You have to Give Kim Newcombe the credit he deserves, without him the Konig would never have entered the Motorcycle world. and yes, with the NSR's, but the Fortuna bike is a big bang NSR whereas the Repsol is the original "Unrideable" NSR 🙂 🙂 have a great day mate, all the best to you and yours

[@lesgillard985]

Your right about Kim Newcombe . A great rider and engineer. He was a Kiwi (New Zealander) . Concerning the Kawasaki 500/4. Ther rider may have been Greg Hansford, an Aussie (Australian'') he did most of the work on the 500/4 and 750/4:sadly he was injured and returned to Oz and raced cars. Man don't those 2 strokes scream 😊😊😊

[@barebonesmc]

​@@lesgillard985 Yvon DuHamel was heavily involved from the 250 and 350 right up to the 750 too, but yes, Greg Hansford too, If im right there was another European rider too, but his name escapes me right now

[@lesgillard985]

@@barebonesmc I'm not sure that Evob Du Haml

[@lesgillard985]

@@barebonesmc I'm not sure Yvon.Du Hamle had any thing to do with the development of the Kawasski 500/4 or the 750/4. He rode in the AMA circuit in the USA. He would have rode the 250 and the 750 3 cylinder. The 500/4;was for the old 500 TT world championship. And the 750/4 was being developed for the FIA (?) F750, which was European. Both bikes would not be usefully in USA. I believe Kawasaki was going to do what Yamaha did with the F700/750', develop it then make 200 copied for homoligation. Sadly Kawasaki withdrew from Europe a few years later 😢 We never saw the Yamaha F750 really challenged by the Suzuki or Kawasaki 750 triples.

[@uhtred7860]

A friend of mine here in NZ has 2 Mk1 XR14 RG500 GP bikes, one of which is the Colemans Suzuki, Pat Hennen campaigned the 76 season on. If you type in, "2x Suzuki MK1/XR14 RG500s @ Manfield" you will get to see and hear them both.

Yep, that brought back lots of memories for me! Started riding two-strokes in 1958; was still riding them in 1998. 👍These days, it's a Guzzi Breva 750. 😃

Heres to 2024 mate, and thanks for all the support, glad it brought back some memories 🙂

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

You sure do like a challenge lol. What's a good sounding 2 stroke would have to be the hardest I think since it's so subjective and dependent on your personal history with them, plus a lot of people hate the sound of them altogether. I grew up around motocross, short circuit, speedway and road racing 2 strokes before they had ANY sort of muffling on the expansion chambers, hell, even my own Bultaco had an unsilenced expansion chamber that sounded like a thousand loud painful whip cracks a second. I absolutely will credit that very quick 4 cylinder one with sounding awesome, not that I can guess what bike it was. Right with you with that 2 stroke racing oil smell. I rarely do smell it but occasionally someone will use it in one of the giant scale model planes in the precision aerobatics comps and I immediately get a strong nostalgia feeling that feels great. They sometimes use these flat 4 cylinder 2 strokes in them too. I forget the brand but the ones around last time I was involved were 200cc 4 cylinders that did sound fantastic till near full throttle, they only lost out to the sound of the prop slapping the air above that. Really enjoyable seeing some good old 2 strokes doing what they do best, thank you!

[@barebonesmc]

The Race bike footage is actually a flat 4 Konig developed by Kim Newcombe and originally built as a marine engine 🙂 have a great day mate, all the best to you and yours

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

@@barebonesmc Thanks mate, a very merry Xmas to you and yours too. "A flat 4 from a Konig", well no wonder I couldn't pick it. Ya trickeded me, I was under the impression I should have known lol. I do know it was a nice sound and obviously a real rocket ship. A flat four 2STROKE marine engine? Let me guess, a jet ski engine? I can't imagine any boat bigger running a screamer of a 2 stroke but, never say never either.

[@barebonesmc]

@@lorditsprobingtime6668 I will be going into more about it in the video that it features in, im trying to split up the 2 stroke list as best i can at the minute lol. where i put the "Ladepumpe" is one of the big questions lol, and still trying to find some footage of the sound of the old DKW air cooled V3 too lol, I would love to know what DKW would have done if it hadn't been for WW2, just those 2 engines were truly unique

[@phillarsson8253]

Thanks for this mate! Makes me want to step on my Suzuki GT750J i still got in the garage. Not that loud and revey as most in this video but that three-cilinder really gives it a unique sound.

[@barebonesmc]

there is more to come 🙂 I just had to split it up more lol. i got to a point where the list was just too long for one video lol. i could fill one with just the various 3 pots 🙂 have a great year mate, Ride Free

Have you familiar with the modern enduro 300cc 2 strokes. They are the only ones that left. Can i put some road tyres, comfy seat, for the awesome old school 2 strokes? I used to ride an mz 300etz. I miss that thing. So why not?

[@barebonesmc]

one of your other comments hasnt come through, re the 2 stroke enduro bikes. most run very short service intervals, they are race bikes, nothing like the old MZ for durability, and as comfy as a 2 x 4 with nails in lol

[@rethinking-h8k]

@@barebonesmc such a shame...

[@barebonesmc]

@@rethinking-h8k The MZ community are still strong, you can still buy pretty much every part. so if you can find one in decent condition they are still just as bombproof 🙂

I have nine plated two strokes. Went outside to wake up my bought new RZ350. Pulled the plugs and cleaned them. Probably heading out on one of the RD350 engined R5B or RD400 as they're my slop riders and the roads are quite muddy. Even dog walkers motion me to wheelie when I carouse the neighborhood on my peaky DT50/LCs.

Made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck😂 I almost missed the sound of my KH seizing up after a big burst of speed and the unique discomfort of removing an oiled plug in the middle of nowhere burning my gloves to put the spare in.. but somehow that 125 just made me giggle madly..I remember the feeling of depressed realization that i couldn't afford the 250.

Good to watch, my memories of 2 strokes are from when I had a gt750 Suzuki triple and my mate had a yam 350 lc. Second hand, of course, in the mid 80’s . The lc was good but my gt sounded great with all-speed 3 into 3 expansion chambers on it. I seized it up doing around 100, after thrashing it a bit, middle pot gone, just pulled the clutch in and coasted to a stop. It was not a big deal to get the middle pot re-honed and a new piston and rings in. The Suzuki’s were problematic with overheating on the middle pot.
