I can't really get my head around the fuel injection aspect. It seemed to be the reason they could tame the engine for emissions but it's always been the character of a 2 stroke engine that makes it fun to ride.
The low weight must make it fun though, just think a sports bike version would have looked and probably ridden better. 2 stroke cafe racer is not a niche that's ever been that big.

I didn't watch the whole thing but Shakey's face after they started the RGV500 - you know he's going home and googling '500GP bikes for sale.'
I'd love to learn more about the engine - VINS claimed 95 hp or something in race trim and that's a frigging good effort. I think Aprilia just cracked 100 with the last RSW250 and that thing was a beast. A lot of port area required for that level of power, can't see rings or pistons lasting long!
