Classic 2 Strokes For Sale

Definitely be market for them if bring 490 back

That thing will bite harder that a crocodile

My all time favorite

My mate Barry (RIP) was 4’10” and was a total lunatic on his, had no problems at all with the size.

Loved my wee rocket to bits...might not have looked as cool as RGVs but if you could ride it would eat them. Did make you ride like a loon ball...still get goose bumps...happy days to the sweet smell of Castrol racing 2 stroke...😁😁😁

Fastest 250 ever 139mph recorded in it's day 👍

Had red and silver one back in the day,hopefully purchasing this one soon .my mates, he's had it for 30 odd years ,

I'm 5ft 5 ,perfect fit .

I had a KR-1SP The one bike I regret selling.

Sold one last year and had one back in 89 👍 i am 6ft and thought they where fine

had 2 in the garage,brilliant bikes

6’4” I was a wind sock on my RD250LC 🤣

I remember riding a few when I worked at Motorcycle City. They sounded so crisp and they handled well 👌

Liked them then, still like them now. Haven't seen one for a long time though.

Kawasaki triple in its natural environment!

One of my all-time favorite photos, the 69 Mach 111 Kawasaki 500 was a muscle car killer and a game changer.

Yes, everyone and his Grammy can wheelie today's bikes

LOVED H-1's! Had 2 over the years. The sound was exotic. Front tire seldom touched the road.

Film L'agression...?

The front tire lasted forever on mine !!!

Had 70 model, be prepared for around 3500 rpm for rocket launch to 10000 almost instantly. Hang on, wheel in the air.

A 60mph low gear is like taking off in second. That was to tame it but it could still burn the tire 100ft and smoke it. The same size tire as the bigger bikes, which could not do that.

without even trying, 5,000 rpm + then hang on 😎

ASWOME PHOTO,,I've got one of thease ,and I'm so looking forward to getting out on my ,69 mach 3 in the spring ,,this thing is addictive, the sound is insanely GEORGEUOS, that two-stroke Howell of the triple, what a gem this bike is,a true LEGEND

Ai bull crap the clutch is disengaged

Hottest two stroke street bike Ever produced !

Many broken triple clamps

I think my H1 ate rear tires like cheerios

They were great at that

I did it all the time with '69 H1 without issue. Contrary to the urban legend, it's usually the left cylinder that gives up first. My theory is it's the farthest from the oil pump.

survived mine: many didn't terrible suspension, frame, brakes way quick in a straight line tho

Wonderful picture

Don't let your foot slip off the brake pedal.

Bill wrigs pipes,, I'm not sure I've got that spelled right, but anyways, you geared it down five teeth for more torque and my buddy's 1975 H1 500 triple, with that sound, that jolt at the grips,,, man you'd wheelie in the first three gears and I told him don't ever let me ride this thing again and he didn't ,, thank God I can still remember that to this day.. Ferocious doesn't describe it, but it's close.

I rode a charcoal grey one back in the day belonged to Jimmy Hays

I tried that on my H1 in ‘72 and lost the center cylinder.

I got a 69 H1, I bought 4 oil pumps and 2 sets of oil lines. Did long tests on the bench with small electric motor. Over time at 1500 revs the oil were all equally the same output. Thanks for you info.

All 5 gears

The 1969 H-1

Looks more rz,ish 500 than rg,ish 500

Still am.

My ACE 100 back in 1975.

I sure wanted one of these, my dad bought me a Yamaha 125 instead. Probably worked out better.

Great bike. Wish I still had mine.

Yes my first bike, a 100B

King of the Desert (in my mind, as least, haha)

I love Yamaha 350s, but obviously the Mustang is highly valuable.

Its a tough choice. If you're cheese chasing obviously the mustang is the choice since it's worth 20x+ what the Yamaha is. But I would take the bike simply because I don't have a place to put that Shelby and couldn't afford to keep it

The yr 350 bikes were all kind of ugly until the R5. Ym1 and 2 were pretty though. I'll take the stang.

30.000 km con questa, mezza Europa in coppia e con la tenda. Un'ottima GT, la alternavo alla 500 RG in pista con tante soddisfazioni

Le beau 4 cames..juste avant les freins à disques..

Mine had twin front discs. It needed them too because these went well. It ate Honda 750 4's for breakfast and stretched chains. I think it was about a 75 model. Best 2 stroke I ever owned.

along with the Yamaha XS1 650 & Kawasaki Z1 900 the Suzuki GT750J is one of the best looking motorcycles of the 70's

I also have a GT 750 and I love it. I think it's a great two-stroke bike.

A great bike. I had one of them, brakes could have been better. My longest day trip was from Durban to Cape Town (1650km) had major bum sore but everything went smooth.

Those 4-shoe drum brakes were not great.

Nice color! Back before disc brakes. Not sure if motorcycles had double leading shoes back then.

Weren’t they called Water Buffaloes? Great classic bike 👏

Still have a model of this, all metal very detailed same colour also, got an orange Kawasaki and BMW from the same era

Water Buffalo.

One of a kind, always wanted one!

Best bike I owned. And you do get used to riding at the back of the pack. The sound and the smell what I would give to have that back. And when ever you parked up ad a group. The public interest was always with this bike.

That’s first year production and the colour was called California Burgundy. They were great bikes, and infinitely more rideable than its competitor the Kawasaki Mach IV.

I really liked the GT380 and GT 550.

Bought a new one in 72 for 1450.00 road it from Ohio to Florida then to California.Kept loosing the black tail pieces. Great riding bike. Ended up being a 10,000 mile ride took 4 months.

Love the colours

Got one in perfect condition and a widow maker as well. Love them both.

A Canadian Motorcycle Youtuber referred to them as Water Buffalos.🤣

Mi favourite superbike of all time in mi favourite colour.

Gorgeous bike

had a 78 that was a 13 second stock bike

I had one same color. Loved it

Double front drum. My exact colour/ model

Lovely bike had one

What a great era. Will never be repeated

At age 16 I bought a brand new Suzuki TS50ER moped. (white with blue stripes on the tank) In 7 months I rode over 7000 miles on it, mainly going to and from college. It was a great little bike. I still remember the reg number, sadly I dont have any photos. Just checked online, the number comes up but it is has no tax or Mot. Wonder where it is..?

Still got mine

great bikes still got one 👌👌

They were decent bikes and sold well

I had a red ts100er at one point when I was on the dole and it was all I could afford, not a bad little bike.

Had a TS185, broke it but could never kill it .

Always thought the "ER" series looked cheap and cheerful.. no quality, no style. TBH the equivalent GSX series also, especially coming after Katana series.

👍👍👍👍

Oh my first bike on the road march 1981 ,'loved it shame it was restricted 👍👍👍👌👌👌😁

Excellent little bikes and one of my favourites. I had to sell one when I relocated to Spain from the UK. I would’ve liked to have kept it, but the cost of matriculation onto Spanish plates was prohibitive.

A friend had one of these as his first bike. Then after moving up to a Yamaha 250, his younger brother took the YASI for him to learn to ride on. A great little bike to learn the basics on before moving up to a more powerful bike

The AS1 and its smaller older brother the YL1 certainly fought well above their weight

Very functional styling, I like it.

Very good

Likewise when Suzuki made 4-strokes theirs went right to the top of the charts .

I had an MT as a teenager -- I recall even now, it was very sluggish compared to my DT

Owned a 1974 MT125 Elsinore. It was not... as powerful... as the advertisement made it seem (certainly down a bit on my previous 1971 TS125 Suzuki), but looked wonderful, handled great, and was as reliable as the TS125. Has a special place in my memory, did a lot of road and offroad riding on it.

All of the older Hondas were really good! I’ve owned a bunch!

MT 250 was a dog

They are very good except for the MT125, most gutless thing I’ve ridden, my cousin had one and I had a . Kawasaki KE125 on loan,I totally hosed my cousin! I had an MT250 for a while too👍🇦🇺

Elsinores were legendary.

I've got to disagree with the title of this ad. While the CR 125 & 250 rocked, the MT's were inferior to their 4 stroke stable mates

Had a MT125. Nice bike, but was down on power.

One of my neighbors has the 125 and it looks so tiny and mild mannered compared to my memories!

No one that actually RODE an MT Honda would call it a "very good one". 🤦

Had an MR175 and MR250. Better than the MT’s

The 125 was underpowered compared to other brands.

My first bike was the 125, I bought in San Clemente while in Marine Corps.

My dad had the MT250 and I just got my Yamaha GT 50 in 1980. Had a lot of fun and a lot of good times!!!

Still have one today 👍

Had an Elsinore in1978 great bike

Dad bought me a'74 my 125 and himself a mt250 so we could ride together. A wonderful gesture that I didn't fully appreciate at 14yo. The 125 was crazy slow but I rode the heck out of it. We didn't actually ride much together. I think it was tough on him.

I was racing a previously best-in-class Penton 125 back then, confident that no one lining up at the gate had a better bike than mine. The CR125M changed everything. Every bit as fast as my ported-and-piped Penton and probably 20 pounds lighter, with better ergonomics...plus it actually shifted properly. The class was instantly transformed.

My cr 250 was an absolute beast

I had one - it was rubbish.

Top of the line machines. The only one's fit to wear the #1plate

Cannot remember any Honda two strokes on the uk. market.

I remember my 250 thank you Dad

Bought 1974 MT 125 new.

I have one,hard to believe it's coming up to 55 years old.

I had a new Green one and loved it, was my first ever new bike. Must have looked a bit strange as I was over 6 foot at 17 and they were quite tiny but I thought it was a beautiful motorcycle indeed. A very good memory .Now I’m 70 and still riding.

I worked at a Suzuki shop in the seventies and worked on these. One the coolest bikes ever. THE best looking small street bike of the era! Maybe even beyond. Reliable as a stove. Don’t remember ever repairing one other than tune ups and the odd broken cable or hand lever. Coulda used a six speed. 😎

I don’t remember the red one . I had the gold colour and loved the bike

I had a lime green one first bike great machine

Had a blue mk2 T125 stinger in the 70s great little bike and memories.

I still have my red t125 my parents bought it for me a Christmas surprise best memories ever

Red was us color for 1969 stinger i have one

The bike my Dad promised to buy me if I passed. School C. I passed, he didn't buy the bike. I bought a Matchless chopper and started riding with a bad bunch ended up in heaps of trouble. Bet he wished he bought me the Suzuki. I wouldn't know because I refused to speak to him for quite a few years. 😂

Had a metallic blue one , once above 60mph you realised it was an overpowered moped,

I remember those bikes. Lots of fun to ride.

I had a T125 in blue and a T90 in gold both great reliable bikes wish I had them now.

i had a yellow yellow t125 stinger in 1973 its exhaust sound was v distinguished n fantastic , there was no red colour available then , and ,,, d resale value was v low for this model then ,,,,,

Sling it and get an AS1 / AS3 Yamaha

Here in New Zealand they were gold in colour and came with either under flow or exhaust over the casings very quick for a 125 👍🤔👌🤙😄

I had a Suzuki 250cc X-6. Loved that bike.

Awesome bike

just getting mine going I worked on them in the day 🇦🇺

Great we bike I when to work on one in the 70s

My future brother in law had one. He loved it right up to the point he lost control and wrecked it. Never went back to bikes after that.

I had one of these, my first bike. Also green😁

I had a T90 ,my first bike I was 15

Never seen one great looking bike

I loved the look, pity they didn't make a bigger version in that style,

Had this exact bike. Threw many newspapers from it 😄

I like 2 strokes.i had a big bear 305 yamaha.it was fast

I bought a brand new 1970. Loved it. Rode from Reno to Vegas through Death Valley. Fortunately it was April

I had the 1972 orange & white. GRT bike

Beautiful wish I had one today

Loved mine. The 2 stroke that thought it was a 4!

The first bike I ever rode

bigger top end than most every 1000 cc bike and over that they make today

Good

Rebadged Italian.

We called them enduros

We called them piglets! 🤭

Cool I had a couple of the oldies A 69 Sprint 350 , 4 stroke single with a Y pipe & dual exhaust & right foot shift A 74 SS 250 , 2 stroke single street bike

Modified a '69 into my first dirt bike, got four in my first race. Second bike in photo. Transmission ratios from second to third were way to long, frame would break if jumped too much.

The ad copy was better than the bike. But it was a crazy time and we just wanted to ride something anything!

A lot of hate for Aermacchi motorcycles. Not sure why. I've owned a 1975 Z90 for 36 years. It is not fast, but it runs great & is very reliable. I believe that these machines were unfairly compared to their Japanese counterparts of the day. To be fair, they were faster, lighter, more modern. But I owned my share of small bore motorcycles, in my life, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki,.Suzuki.(Even a Hodaka) all from.the late 1960s to early '70s. All of them had more trouble with plugged, erratic carbs,

Harley Davidson and rapido in the same sentence. Who'd a thunk it🤣

The ad was more impressive than the bike. I had a 72 model. Handed it down to my brother and bought a 74 Yamaha dt175a. 15 mph faster and included oil injection.

An Aermacchi that could break down on the road OR the trail!

Even though it's probably an Aermacchi. 70 all day long still doesn't seem comfortable. Cool ad that intrigued me back then however.

Held it in the wimpy Power band,,,,,transmission scattered on the ground,,,,,threw it on the scrap pile,,,,joke of a motorcycle!!!!! Italian crapp

My favorite quote: "you can take the carburetor and throw it against the wall"

I have always thought those were beautiful... everything looks like it is right where it should be.

A great , torquey , reliable engine and gearbox mated to a fun , but outdated chassis and suspension . A surprisingly fun bike for casual dirt riding .

Beautiful bike. I owned a 71 sportster 900 for many years. It was the last year before AMF I sure miss it.

I always loved those. Just a simple plain motorcycle. And better than most

Beautiful little bike

A friend of mine had one of those. At that time, a 125 was a relatively large bike.

I rode one when I was 13 I popped the clutch in2 gear and it stood straight up and scared the daylights out of me it was first I had been on anything bigger than 50cc kiddie bike

My friend had one. It was what I learned to ride on...all 13 HP of it, but so much fun!

Optimistic for 70 mph. Downhill with a tailwind. Tried a MX on mine, not a good idea.🙄

Can't feature that 125 getting 70mph unless downhill with a tail wind...

My pard had a blue one, new, about 1964. He let me ride it. I was impressed; very decent; surprised @ a Harley 2-stroke! Think he later bought a Ducati. Now that was a piece of work! 250, think it was. I was on small bore Hondas. They were-are smooth. Have a 1975 360T for sale, but sure not in a hurry to sell. It is sweet, n fast! Born to be Wild! El Paladin

In all the years they sure haven't advanced much.Still parts are made across the pond.

Local to me I'm sure I seen the van, dudley area

Still looking good Andy AFR

The best 2stroke ever build. I had one in white. And fast...

Sweet, had an n2 back in the day. Sold it to buy carpets and a washing machine for new house 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wow, that’s absolutely gorgeous mate, credit to you. 👍

Lovely bike and a cracking T4

Bluetiful

Hybrid tends to mean something different these days LoL

Always wanted one and still do

My favourite coloured LC

Spoked wheels , niceeeeeee😀

"PORN"👌

I had one after my Fizzy, it was a little pocket rocket, sounded great too 😃

My first real bike, cracking time on it. Went onto RDs and other 2 strokes, great days.

IstJapanese bike what a beauty.

One of my best friends had one of these. It was fxxking lethal! Old school power band. I remember once he unexpectedly wheeled the bike and the handlebar cluster hit him in the face and left him with cuts and a black eye.

Went from Suzy 90 to one of these, then kawa 500😊 happy happy days

It had a lovely original sound to it.

My first bike, wish I'd kept it now.

Unique as it had the ribs cast into the head fins a very rare bike now

I got one blue when i was teenager .. Really great bike👍

Had one a white and red one when I was 17 seized it up. Would love one now have seen one around the chichester area and was mint.

A little smoker for sure esp the oil used back then

One of the best 125s ever made!!! A legend💕

Bought one off someone at work winter 1980 just before Christmas riding it to work and the engine seized.NTE26K

i miss to ride again this bike.

I had Honda CB 125 -73

I had a 71 Suzuki TS125 twin. And a '76 RD 400. I still miss both of them!

Class,,wee bike,,

I had the earlier model in my youth.

My good friend had an as3 after an itom 50cc because he was small and pull a cb175 onto the centre stand but he could ride a bike

My first bike

I have an LS2 twin 100 looking for a new home.

Couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, just all noise, seen more power in a 3 point plug

Killer 125 Twin ✔️✔️✔️

YAMAHA 125 AS3

A blast from the past.. what a great bike. They went like a wasp on speed, haha.
