Yamaha sticks with two-strokes

While Honda last week announced it will not be making two-strokes from next year, Yamaha has confirmed it will.

"Yamaha is fully behind the continuing development of its class-leading YZ machines." General Manager Steven Cotterell points out: "The two-stroke engine certainly has a place in competition motocross today. Our YZ machines continue to sell in great numbers to a dedicated fan base who prefer owning and riding two-strokes.

"Yamaha has developed the YZ range into state-of the-art machinery powered by compact, free-revving engines running in advanced aluminium frames. There is no plan to cease development of these bikes in the near future," adds Cotterell.
