An amazing bike I've never heard of... An Ace Polini tuned V2 Simson.

Wow.... just plain freaking WOW!  I've never even heard of this bike.  what an amazing little machine!

From Hagen Schroot:
 Hello, here are some pictures and videos from an Simson S51 V2 with 50HP. The Simson S51 is 50ccm motocycle with 3,6 HP stock bulid in East Germany in 1980`s. This Simson is the personal ride from an famous exhaust manufacturer for the Simson scene. At the moment is only 120km/h fast, because of the brakes , but lift up the front in 5tgh gear!

Reader ride! 1997 Aprilia RS250!

I've actually seen a few of these stateside that were street legal. I don't often get envious but this might get me there. Congratulations on finally landing you dream ride. What a great bike!

Dear Badass 2 stroke motorcycles,
Wow just run through your blog, I consider myself a 2stroke lover. I always believe 2stroke is the most ideal engine for a sportbike. I think MotoGP made a big mistake by banning the 2stroke to compete. They should have let the 2stroke to compete with what ever type off engine. Anyway I just recently owned an Aprilia RS250 1997 model. This has been my dream bike back then and now I own 1. Riding it takes some time to get use to as this thing has freakish power delivery at ultrahigh RPM.....but ones you get use to the power delivery you would enjoy the superlatively devastatingly fast riding you could ever have imagine. you can even take a very steep angle short corner without any brakes being applied from a very high speed. Of course your feet will be very-very busy changing the gears but it still fun doing it. Anyway this is my picture with I consider my 2nd wife.......she is 1 of my big extended family. Thank you.
