[Sheriff245]

Just getting ahead of the game... skipping 2013 and 2014 altogether:banana:

Someone will hear it from a Yamaha Rep so it will must be true.?

who cares the world is supposed to come to and end in 2012!?

[jsantapau]

I thought the rapture was yesterday

[nuudle8]

The rapture was yesterday and I was one of the chosen ones buy I had to come back down because I left my cellphone in my pants.

[RCannon]

I thought it was 3015. My rep said so, but it coudl have been a mis-print

[shrubitup]

I heard that if Obama gets re-elected he will be sending in the EPA to confiscate all two stroke oil thereby making your smokers obsolete. It's true. Even the marine outboards will be high and dry. ?

I think you guys (or who ever your source is) is full of crap! I have been hearing this since 2004!! Think a lot of these tree hugging hippie grandpa 4 joke riders are scarred because the 250 2 stroke is slowly making a comeback!!?

Long live the 2 stroke baby!!?:smirk:

read the first post more closely. Its been a running joke around here for years. I believe we have had a "last year for yz....." post each and every year since 2007 or 08.

Some people just don't get irony...

If Obama doesn't like it then I'm happy to ride 2 strokes till the day I can't swing my leg over a bike.

People don't get it, the agenda is to have fuel/energy prices skyrocket.

It will be the nail in the coffin for a lot of motorsports and race-bikes will be just a casualty.

Look up his quotes about electricity prices skyrocketing, I think if people like 3rd world living vote for him again...

Taxing how many miles you drive a year, if that is not an eye opener what is...

Preach it man people need to open their eyes for once and not believe the garbage on the news

I've been considering shoehorning a two stroke into a WR250R frame, having a "legal" bike with an illegal power plant. Ha! I'll show them! I'll have to figure out how to fit an Autolube pump so I don't have the pre-mix. Shouldn't be too hard.

All fooling aside, I hope Yamaha doesn't give up on the Two-Strokes, I would like a new street legal direct injection two stroke myself. Wife just got a new car with DI, more power along with better mileage. An updated and uprated RD or DT would be great.

They already do: fuel taxes. I'm aware that with better fuel economy, the scheme is to get you by mileage instead to recover all of the lost revenue since you traded your F150/250 in on that Prius last year during the cash for clunkers program. ( right: all F150/250 owners secretly really want a Prius, don't they? I know I do!)

Here is your new 2015 Yz 250 and it's as good as it's going to get !

Hmm, back to the steel frame. And some new fangled rear suspension that requires guitar-string-tightness on the chain.

[gabe_k]

That must be a 2015 Tacoma too
