Man i love 250cc 2 strokes. They really are the greatest things and the fact emissions has spelled the death for them is such a shame.

Damn right they do.

Just look at Rossi and Stoner. Years back when the 990cc 4 stroke monsters came, people were saying the future champs would come from the World Superbike championship but that just wasn't the case. 125cc and 250cc teach you setup and you learn to really feel what the bike is doing. Im so so upset that 2008 is the final season for the 250cc 2stokes cause they will change to 600cc 4 strokes. Shame!
