Agreed. But bike makers are also bike-sellers, it's all about business. Again. Over the years 2-Stroke engines became very good emission-wise, thanks to new oils and sophisticated injection/ignition systems. I think it was Aprilia/Peugeot having developped the Di-Tech engine producing a high output while keeping emissions and fuel consumption at a very acceptable level. But what Honda wanted, the ban of 2-Stroke engines for road going bikes, Honda got.
