For many years I've wanted to get another two-stroke street bike. My second motorcycle was a brand new 1970 Kawasaki Mach III (H1), the 500cc two-stroke triple street bike. All my bikes since then have been four-strokes and the two-stroke street bikes faded from the scene by the late 1970s.
I see used RD-250s, RD-350s, Kaw 500s, Kaw 750s, Suzuki Titans, GT750s, for sale occasionally but I've been thinking more modern . . .
The local dealer has a good price on a new 2019 KTM 250SX, a full-fledged dirt bike. They say that it can be made street-legal with a kit that costs a few hundred dollars.
Am I crazy? Well, of course I am, but that's beside the point. But should I just wait for that good used two-stroke street bike to pop up on Craigslist instead of making a KTM dirt bike into a silly street bike?
