Yamaha made a 2 stroke street bike?

I didn't read anything about street bike, just Yamaha.

Thanks Again Chris, man you guys are stalkers. Not a peep at all, all morning till the room post! Then it was like the forum exploded (kind of like a croc at the water hole!)

What year and model was the last Yamaha 2-stroke street bike?

Roger, as far as the US goes the RZ350 was imported here in 1984 and 1985. I've read that was the last year for a two stroke street bike in the US. The 1979 RD400F Daytona Special was the last year for an air cooled two stroke street bike imported the US. The RZ continued to be sold in other countries and 1995 was the last year it was manufactured.

The street legal Kaw KE100 was sold until 2001

Didn't know the KE lasted that long.

If we count scooters too, the Yamaha Zuma 50 (street legal) 2 stroke lasted until around 2010 thereabouts give or take a year or two on the back end.
