Gotta be a mathematical wizard in here who can assign a reasonable weight to the body and the bike and calculate the HP that tiny  little engine has to make to get there that quick.

Those bikes remind me of Speedway bikes, but speedway bikes have 500cc engines.

I need to visit Thailand again sometime.

Seems like not much interest in the totally badass 150cc bikes so maybe a little more displacement is in order.

I remember a guy I knew while I was in high school, '68 or '69. He had a Kaw 125 2-stroke motocross bike that was really hopped up.

Wild porting, expansion pipe, NO FLYWHEEL! I forget what it was dyno'd at, but unbelievable HP for 125cc.

It was basically un-rideable, especially for motocross. Using the throttle was like like flipping an on/off switch. It wouldn't idle. It had no power until it got up on the pipe (at about 6k rpm) and then it was instant power. You basically couldn't keep the front wheel on the ground and you couldn't keep traction with the rear wheel. He could ride it. I tried it once and that was enough. It truly scared me.

When I was twenty, so, 74, I got to ride a Honda Elsinore 250. Holy Cow! That thing was a Hoot! There was a hard little turn with about a foot and half berm. The tilt of the dirt in the corner allowed a real hard lean,and the guy who owned it could wheely in the turn. SunnuvaBitch! Others may have too,don't remember.
Yeah, two stroke and dirt, great combination. I'm going to finish that clip on the TV.

Gettin' nostalgic with the sounds. My first bike was a 1975 Yamaha RD200. twin cylinder 2-stroke street rocket. The blue one with the gold accents on the tank. Absolute screamer if you missed a shift!

I had a RD200 too. Local PD absolutely hated me and that bike not a really fast bike but super quick as fast as you can shift. They never did catch me on that bike , that’s a bike I’d like to have back.
