Great bikes. My mate had one as a field bike, it was a hoot to ride.

We blew the engine, but found an RD50 laying in some blokes garden. He gave us the bike, we swapped the engine and carried on....

I have never ridden a stroker....as I have never ridden a British built bike.

I do sometimes regret not buying the Kwak KH250 in favour of a Honda CB250 - at the time the Honda was perceived as more reliable and it was my only means of transport. I doubt I will ever get the chance to buy a 2 stroke...and I'm not sure I will ever buy a British built bike, however, I can still get nostalgic about both of them ;D :)

MZ TS125. Excellent bike

Loved em, love em and always will love em.

Looks good. :)

There are still a lot of 2-strokes about, mostly powing ships in the form of the 2-stroke diesel.

Im cumming up 53 this year so brought up on 2 strokes, and continued to ride 2s in motocross up until 3 years ago when I had to give it up, taking to long to get over the bumps and bruises.
