(Oh ****, i can feel a ripping comming! lol)
The RD500LC has a 500cc V4 engine - so has 4 125cc cylinders with 4 separate exhaust's, hence its sounds like 4 125cc bikes ;)
Yes - sounds like a scooter/moped, yes, will still give modern bikes a run for their money!
Very light, very quick. 8-)

Wont be surprised if large road-going 2strokes are outlawed soon? Made uninsurable due to the high emissions etc? :(

Aye, I'm living in hope that they're not but won't be at all suprised if they are. The only thing going for them is there aren't that many out there so its not going to have a huge effect by abolishing them!
Will be a real shame if it does happen
