You can still enjoy that experience if you go down to the islands and
buy a Yamaha "Enduro". They are all over the place, and in many
different hp ratings. Maybe I should go into the import business.

I imagine they are illegal to import but so is cocaine and there seems
to be plenty of that around. I guess if you sold them on Ebay or
Craig's list, nobody would say anything. There would be a problem for
anyone who likes a warranty tho.
I am guessing most parts would be the same as the old 2 strokes and
they seem to be around.
