I don’t think we are going to fix the problem here. All the promising designs haven’t come to anything so they (2-strokes) are fodder for the greenies as they are easy targets. But offroad bikes are such a small drop in the ocean I’m not about to start feeling guilty. The US consumes the most oil by far, but just wait as China kicks into gear & starts wanting everything the western world has had.

Bombardier makes 2t evinrude boat motors that meet all epa guidelines. In fact I think the epa gave them an award for clean engine design, something like that. They also use a semi direct injection design on their snowmobile motors that makes them very clean burning. The technology is out there to make clean burning 2t's.
