The problem with a two stroke road machine is twofold. First is fuel consumption. Firing every stroke and inefficient burning will give you less mpg no matter what the scribes or experts say. Been there.
Second. A two stroke engine is lubed by oil contaminated with fuel. I had reasonable luck back in the day with two strokes by keeping the revs down. Since it doesn't have valves it's easy to over rev and that adds to wear on engine bits. I have a Kymco two stroke in my possession and it will rev to unbelievable speed for the size. I can see that the rider has to be the rev limiter......or else.
