Photos, prices and information on all the 2021 two-stroke off-road and motocross bikes from motorcycle manufacturers all over the world.
Fuel-injected two-strokes are here to stay. Now, there are three manufacturers offering transfer-port-injection two-strokes in the U.S., and there are more to come. Here’s the fun part: not all of them are owned by KTM’s parent company. TM is a small Italian company that has proven itself capable of matching any motorcycle company in the […]
The 250 two-stroke is alive and well in 2020. Austria, Japan and Italy all offer current bikes for the MX purist. Some are more modern than others, but all have suspension and brakes that we could have only dreamed of 20 years ago when the two-stroke was in its heyday. It’s time to set the […]
The Yamaha YZ250, KTM 250SX, Husqvarna TC250 and TM 250MXe are the cream of today’s two-stroke crop. All are modern bikes with state-of-the-art suspension.

Two-strokes never stopped being competitive and the 2020 Husqvarna TC250 is proof.

In its pure motocross guise, the Husky has no electric start and no fuel-injection. It’s a bike for […]

The story of the Suzuki RM250 isn’t just about a single motorcycle. It’s about a dynasty of bikes, championships and riders that goes back to a glorious era in the history of motocross. Forty-five years ago, motocross was an obscure European sport. In America, we loved flat track and hill climbing. Even in Europe, road […]

When it comes to tight technical off-road riding and racing for the masses it is hard to argue that a 300cc KTM two-stroke isn’t the best machine out there. But, the 200cc KTM does have a very devoted cult like following as well and the fact that KTM stopped production of this model back in […]
Since the introduction of the Beta 300RR back in 2013, the bike has proven to be an excellent choice for extreme enduro racers and casual trail riders alike.
