Hello i have moved on to the 4 stroke bikes for a few years now.I was just wondering what was the last year all the big companys made the 2 stroke.i know yamaha still makes a 2 stroke bike,but what was the last year for the other manufacturers?
 
yamaha is saying this will be the last year they will continue the 2 stroke.. but ktm and other foreign brands will most likely keep making them.. i believe suzuki is actually still making rm's for special orders
 
I know Yamaha were going to until 2010, but after that is un clear at the mo. I think the Japanese manufacturers are more likely to cease production as they like to be seen as 'politically correct' if you like.

The European manufacturers, KTM, Husqvarna, TM will more than likely continue to make 2 strokes (KTM & Husky have announced 2010 bikes and 2 strokes are in their range) as they are becoming more popular again and their bikes all comply with the emission standards.

Only time will tell...!
