No scooters sound like that not the other way around
Its a fairly easy mistake to make tbf.
Personally i absolutely love the sound of 2 strokes and the smell... and pretty much everything else actually
They have a bad reputation for being unreliable and more hassle than they're worth but that is only down to people not looking after them properly and 17 yolds thrashing the tits off of them and then complaining when they explode in a big cloud of smoke!
Yes they have slightly shorter service periods than a 4t and much shorted engine rebuild periods but none of it matters because there isn't anything quite as fun! And they're so much easier to work on so for a somebody who loves tinkering (something i'm very guilty of) they're fantastic.
When i've got my RS sorted I'm thinking about getting an RD250/500 to play with for when my license restriction runs out. Yay for disposable income!
And yes to answer you it is mental, and that one has had the bollocks tuned off it too xD
