    Well we all know that 2 stroke sporty scooters seem to be getting rarer and rarer so I thought it would be slightly interesting to note down what bikes you see and when you see them (etc etc) so we can see if there is some truth to this or that maybe people have just moved onto something else?

    I'll start it off. So far today I've seen a blue and silver runner that looks quite a lot like rideorcollides old one that had the stripes on it. I've seen what looked like the first tdr 172 aerox riding with an orange sr.

    I also keep seeing a bike that looks pretty much exactly like the red and black runner that shiny has been working on but without the forks. Same panels and stickers, same chrome pm, same chrome tranny etc etc.

    The thing I have noticed in general is a he'll of a lot more people getting geared 125s. Mostly r125s but also any pile of crap geared 4 stroke 125 :confused:

    In the last year Ive seen ONE 172 runner in my town, and as far I believe theres NO 125/172 2T twist n go scooters in my town.. Just a bunch of 50s, zips and typhoons are quite common here along with a few new and old shape runners, NRG powers are seen everywhere round my area, and vespa's, alot of 4T scoots and alot of big bikes, not many geared 50s and 125s tho.

    Theres also a modded to fuck ported aerox 70 round here.

    Only see a 125/172 2-stroke moped in this area once in a blue moon.... mostly chinese 50 mopeds and 125 chinese geared shittas.... although you do get a few cg's/rxs/ybr's/cbrs in the mix. rarely see rs's or mito's.

    The majority of nice bikes round here are geared with big engines (probly due to the nice country roads everywhere and low traffic compared to cities)

    One thing the shocked me when i went to spain last year was the amount of two strokes about, loads of mopeds, but more importantly shitloads of tzr 125's and other geared 2-strokes, got well envious when i saw the sick roads they were rippin about on...
