Riding a Two-Stroke BANNED from the USA 

4: always dub some thrash metal over electric bikes. Better still don't show them.

I miss my former Yamaha 2 stroke 1993 YZ 250, which is where Yamaha gets the looks from, for their 2024 YZ Lineup from.

True true & true

Wasn't that an xr200?

And NEVER make a negative comment about two strokes,unless you have ridden multiple versions for over 10 years. Otherwise just shut up. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like a groovy ride😎🤓🤙

A-men brother! I use to crush the 125 Elsinore class ( the only competitive 125 in the Marty Smith era) a 20 HP. Feather!

U guys ride with. Pants.. u learn something new everyday.

500 two-stroke. Most fun I've ever had on anykind of motorcycle.

I love the lightweight of a one two but also love the lazy 450 as a 36 year old injured fat boy 😂

@@joski9030 lol i hear ya.. im 37 245 lbs... but i still think im 25..

What’s your weight? I’m curious bc I’m 230 minus gear so curious if it’s got the power for me - and I ride fairly hard for a 50+. Thx

Thanks. That may not be a bad thing. I’ve accepted that I don’t bounce off trees as well as I used to.

I feel u I’m 48 and I love my 03yz125

​@@kne2323 I am 69 and have a 17 YZ 125 to ride MX. Sorry but I feel over 170 would take away most of the fun. BTW I am 155.

@@kne2323125 has plenty of power. Just gotta make the engine sing. I’m 250 and rode my buddy’s yz125 and now can’t wait to buy one.

WFO?

is it just me or did others see Josh ride the Fantic faster and more free and radical? 🤷🏽‍♂️ (could just be the edit)

Take my money I would buy one today! Until it comes, if it ever does, I will keep riding Orange…

Their is a US Fantic importer and they show the XEF300 as being available!!!

@@freddunbarName?

It does it everytime the bike ride by! Haha. Even AI knows....

Music to my ears as well.

These days? Yeah. Its like ban everything 🤬

California is working on it 😆. They have banned the sales of small engines for 2025. I know this because I was actually in California this last summer and found out straight from them. I've also heard rv say all the motocross tracks are closing

It will happen soon. Hell they shut down all the trails i had to plate my wr250z just to hit "unmaintained or unmarked roads"

Then we shall all become outlaws.

I thought it was the attempt at a street legal 2 stroke some company was talking about trying (I forget the name). Oh, TLDR- You might want to consider getting a KTM plated. It worked for my 300 2 stroke, just like any street bike... I recently bought a '18 KTM 300 XC-W and got it plated in PA- I just walked into the auto tags shop with the paperwork and the vin came back as a KTM Motorcycle (not KTM dirtbike, or OHV, or whatever). And that was after one of the other employees said "Did you say KTM? You gotta be careful with those, they make dirtbikes, so make sure it says M.C. when you run the VIN" to the lady that was helping me. My local dealer swore to me for years that it could be done and customers did it all the time- riding them off the lot directly to tags, but I never believed it, until I tried it personally (why not try?). I can't guarantee I didn't just get lucky, and I'm definitely not an expert on how any of that works, but that's what happened and I can't get over the fact that I have my #1 dream dual sport (Sickass Racing plug & play harness and lighting kit!) Directly after that I did some research online and got a '04 450 EXC to try, and the exact same thing happened (same lady said the same thing about KTM making dirtbikes) but that one also came back MC (as I expected that time). I had been trying different "dual sports" but none of them did it for me- too big, sluggish, and heavy (CRF-450L, XR-650, DR-650). After I sold my DRZ-400 I realized I needed a real dirtbike with a plate, but I wasn't willing to go through loopholes or Dirtlegal w/ Montana tags, which led me to KTM/ Gas Gas/ Husky. I wanted one of the 300cc+ KTM 2T's since I was 14 and it didn't disappoint when I finally got one. I got the 450 in great shape with low miles/ hours (Starts with one kick after sitting for a week!) for literally half of what I paid & sold a '04 DRZ for (half the miles too) and it's an objectively better performer in EVERY aspect, so even if it blows up tomorrow I might say I already got my $$$ out of it. That's my long winded way of trying to say "Try a KTM" and saving someone the headache I went through looking for a legal dirt bike. The older 450s can be found dirt cheap and seem to be extremely reliable if well maintained (ez valve adjustments!), and the 300 2 strokes aren't cheap, but they're as good as it gets, I'd say perfection! Good luck🤟

Sounds cheap. Ah ha.

Gullible people , perfect mxa fans. Buy it and import it simpleton's . MXA misinformation , some people just love it , :)

Yamaha states u can’t sell “your” bike in USA. It’s not banned. It’s not banned from importing. It’s inconvenient and expensive. And u can’t title it here, likely.

​@@duramaxdadwouldn't that mean that if someone wants one they'll have to either buy one in Europe and Import it or wait 25 years before they allow the bike in the US?

@@kriswhite9324 You saw the bike in USA right?

@@duramaxdad not in person no but i know there are laws in the US regarding to cars that if it isn't 25 years or older than it cant even be legally important due to not meeting safety standards (unless theres an exemption made that said vehicle is classed as a "technological significant" or something to a similar name for it to hit US soil. :)

It's looks newer!

Ginger or Mary Ann ? 😂

It uses Yamahas platform 😂

Bold New Graphic

Or buy an imported one? Perhaps.

@@duramaxdad Sure, but I actually meant the bike they were testing. You can actually fairly easily import anything you want. Best wishes

@@asc23channel Nice. Thats good info. I’d imagine it’s an expensive way to get a European bike in US. But it is possible. Thats your point. Thanks for sharing. My 14 yo son wants a 2024 ktm 125 so he’s sharing vids and educating his old man. Electric start fuel injected 2 stroke. Mind blown. $7,700 out the door rn.

@@duramaxdad You’re welcome! Yes indeed, importing it does raise the cost, so I personally only recommend it if the product is absolutely not available AND you absolutely want exactly that one. Lol…yeah, technology AND prices have advanced! But to be honest, kickstarting a hot carbureted bike in some rough terrain is not the best way to spend time. lol I’m sure he will have a lot of fun with the KTM! Best wishes

Yamaha. Lol. Import it and pay extra I guess for the fantic insignia

It’s got a Yamaha motor

U can ride legally on the street now w a 2 stroke. Granted u need insurance, plates, blinkers and a light.

@@duramaxdad I did back then too. Completely legal 2 stroke Enduro.

Let’s start with: what’s the difference with European fuel? Besides liters vs gallons. And taxes.

@@duramaxdad euro fuel is gluten free and no gmo's lol

​@@duramaxdad different octane ratings and qualitys

subframe is the same as the yz125/250 2002-2021

Air filter is the most important maintenance on a Dirt bike and most sloppily done.... i raced 15 years and learned quickly to do it correctly...it saves your engine from wear and tear.... when you pay for repairs yourself you invest in knowledge and take the time to do things correctly.... 🇨🇦🤓🤟

Just say no to grease. Never have, never will.

was the grease applied evenly ? just sayin

you can buy blue fantics in north America.

@@Marleysdad808 you can’t buy a blue Fantic that’s 300CCs with an electric start.

@@KingofKahkis where in your op did you specify any of that?

@@Marleysdad808 alright dude lol you win 🙄 👏🏻

@@KingofKahkis why so serious? No sense of humor. 🙄

gabagool? ova hea
