How is there not a drought still? There's 2. And they're both basically the same bike.

Only one in the US, afaik ktm only sells the 690 in Enduro form here. So what I'm saying is 1 is better than none.

signing up for an advrider account is 100% worth it - the forum is very active, there are a ton of great trip reports with beautiful pictures, product and bike reviews, "how do I do X" type threads, and the flea market/for sale area has good finds on the regular.

The link in question is for a bright yellow 2003 Italjet Dragster 50cc 2-smoke w/ a Leo Vince GP pipe

I'd say that's insane money for that but I guess Cali gets shafted on plating a 2 stroke.

Jazzzzz
May 16, 2002
It probably works differently in California since everything else there does, but usually the title stays with the frame so the motor theoretically shouldn't matter. No idea how that works with inspections if you do a swap like this though. There's always the South Dakota registration loophole if the CA BMV shits on you.

Registration aside, $10K for that bike is nuts. I can't imagine it's easy to ride, either.

Bikes dont require smog here kids.

Inspections only when you go to plate something. lights, mirrors, no 3/C in digit 8. Beyond that? lol doesnt matter, ride your poo poo.


2 smoke is hard to plate but its possible.. I owned a yz250 sm that was ca plated...

I know some old 2Ts that were designed for the street had a separate oil tank but even still I think I'd rather premix. If the line from that tank clogged or whatever = bad stuff.

If you put the oil in the gas tank before you fill up, the gas pump will do most of the mixing for you, no paint shaker routine required

And with a 2T, the paint shaker routine will be coming from inside the bike.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

jfc those guys are dumb as gently caress.

The first question is how much do you want the price of two-strokes to go up? The second question is how much weight are you willing to gain on your two-stroke? The third question is what’s so hard about changing a jet occasionally?

Yea...they're luddites. Here's a more rational explanation:

Emissions will eventually force EFI 2T so they're working on it, but 2T is selling and meeting emissions as-is so why rush R&D.
