Old to new again

[2 strokes for life]

What would you guys think of your favorite old bikes in moddern day chassies. I myself would love to have a YZ175. How about you what would be your ideal bike.

 

[2stroke]

A 71 F5 Kaw in a late model KX500 frame.

Or, on the street, a H2 750 triple in a ZX7 frame. (It think thats been done before!)

 

[76GMC1500]

87 CR250 motor in a narrower frame would be nice.

 

[MadKaw500]

mine is being done right now by a few companies...
KX500 motor in kx450f frame
KX500af...AWSOME!!!!!

STARTING BID ON ****?...10,000$
RIDIN A WHEELIE WHILE ROOSTIN IN YOUR BUDDY'S FACE?...PRICELESSS!!!

You mean like this? AJ has already done it.

nice...

I would like to see a modern rotary valve Kawasaki, new engine, more modern chassis.

schmanman, its called a RX-7. Just kiding. But i would also like that bike.

 

[schmanman]

you know, instead of reeds.

the rotary intake valves.

 

[Britt Boyette]

I think an old BSA B50 MX engine in a 06 KX250F frame would be a lot of fun or maybe my 04 KX250 engine in the 06 KX250F frame would be cool too.

 

[Matt Fisher]

KTM550 motor into a new 250SX chassis.

 

[fatboy570]

XR 350 or 500 in 83-4 CR 250 chassis. Some guys in the MO vintage series have them,or variations on the same theme

 

[2 strokes for life]

fatboy570, that sounds like it could be fairly easy to do.

 

[arjay]

How about the aircooled open class 2 st motors.

Like a five speed RM400 in an '06 steel RMZ250 chassis. The single down tube would work with the side exhaust port.

Or a CR480 motor in a CR250 al frame. With modified swingarm to accomodate right hand drive.

Or maybe a YZ490 engine in an '04 YZ250 chassis. Same drive side, same exhaust port configuration.

 

[sixds]

any two stroke MX bike that goes through fuel at the same pace as an xr80.

arjay, i like the YZ490 idea.

sixds, in a perfect world yes.
