[morini]

Ok another view, I've not ridden big road bikes like Morini & forza, but I grew up on 2 stroke crossers, keeping in mind the development in the 40yrs since, they scared the crap out of me back then! (smashed myself up so many times lol) never to this day have I been on a machine that accelerates like a 2 stroke high revving scary bastard crosser! 

So 40 yrs later I'll bet a 2 stroke F1 engine would be a MONSTER!

When I was an early teenager all of my peer group who were into motorcycles (myself included) aspired to one machine, the Yamaha RD350. For those who don't know, this was an air cooled two stroke masterpiece and had performance far exceeding it's cubic capacity. Four stroke machines of the same era (less than 500cc) were very slow and mundane by comparison. I did eventually own one myself, though unfortunately not the air cooled early version, I had a 350LC (liquid cooled) and it was an absolute hooligan of a thing. Got my first speeding ticket on it.

I have fallen away from motorcycles and motorcycle sport in recent years, but in my opinion the 500cc two stroke era was the pinnacle of moto GP. At least for people of my generation.

As for Symmonds comments, I'm not sure if it will transpire that F1 cars use two stroke hybrid engines but from a performance perspective it sounds perfectly feasible to me. I would embrace it as a good thing and it would add two extra "sensory delights" to attending races in person - the two stroke scream and the wonderful smell!
