"The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is
the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today."

Hopefully they'll come out with a woods version...

And on a side note, did anyone else see that ATK is now going to move to
making more 2 strokes than 4 strokes?

That's good news. A buddy of mine is restoring a 406 as we speak. Can't
wait to break it in for him.

Well, my guess is they will be Maico, not Rotax, engines. Anyhow, the
406s definitely were cool. Any feedback on parts availability
nowadays?

That is craziness. They might as well go into the business of making Model

You are on to something else here, too. You may not have noticed that quite
a few of us have gone through some washing machines. And I would love to
have a new model A.

Take notice,

At the top of the article.....It is a two stroke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am
guessing that the frame to hold this monster would hold up a huge seat. I
bet that we could all ride at the same time. BUT I AM NOT RIDING BITCH!!!!!!
