"Future two-strokes will have capacities on a par with four-strokes, allowing a milder state of tune than that which earned them their peaky reputation. " KTM already makes great 2-strokes. The 300 is a world class bike that is almost universally described as a 3-stroke, With amazing grunt down low and off idle, and eye watering top ends. Even more tunable by swapping the power valave spring for different weights.

"The result trounces the four-stroke for power, torque, flexibility and even service intervals says Orbital "

Its great to see this development, 2-strokes are a superior engine to 4-strokes in almost every way. Lighter, far less rotating mass, simplicity, poweroutput, reliability.
Old school 4-strokes didnt have the performance of thes new high-strung machines, but they had incredible reliability. WHats happening now, is that by wringing out every ounce from the new 4-strokes and raising the redlines, Youve actually got a 4-stroke that, while very powerful, actually requires more maintanance, more rebuilds, and less hop up potential than a comparable 250cc 2-stroke motor.

YAY!

Does this mean Yamaha honda and suzuki are going to be making 2-strokes again?

That would be so awesome to see a new 2-stroke quad and/or dirtbike come out!
