And the new BME cylinder IS the "state of the art", or as best as a LOT of "2- stroke gurus" who design and race motorcycles for a living can make it. Keith went to the BEST motorcycle aftermarket designers and modifiers to help him with this cylinders design, and what they came up with can arguably be called the best compromise for a 2-stroke given the RPM constraints of our propellors and noise limitations, while at the same time maintaing decently smooth midrange and idle characteristics.

So. .you see. . the guys who KNOW designed the cylinders for the Xtreme. I really don't think Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki or anyone else could do a much better job AND keep it as light as it is.
