Nice to see all these 2-Strokes popping up all over the world....too bad the Manufacturers wouldn't take notice and produce some.

I wonder if the 250Rotax was this one from DGS @ ATVriders

I heard that the guy who built the one from the link above had passed away

I can't believe CAN-AM didn't release an E-TECH 2-Stroke version of their DS-450 .....It sure would have boosted sales of their Performance Quads.

Yep! that's the one....from South Africa. I read a facebook post that a Shaun Ghunter built one of these hybrids and sadly passed away.....it is now owned by Ac Hoffman.....Maybe he has posted some Videos of this bad boy in action!

they are fun to build. too bad the factory rarely builds what we would like; with the exception of the trx250r.

I read that story and it crushed me. I followed this beauty from the beginning and then I heard nothing. Looked into it and he passed.

On a lighter note....I sent an email to BRP about how the DS was supposed to have a 2 stroke engine and at the last minute it was changed to a 4 stroke. I told them I had confirmation from one of the test riders and how they loved it but it got scratched because of the kool aid drinkers. He never replied. I sent him those pics and he said..."Where did you get those!?" "Who gave them to you!?" I just replied...build what we want, a 2 stroke Etec DS race quad. He replied.....Never gonna happen!

It was fun while it lasted.
