Bring the speed: The Best 2-strokes! Part1

In this2-part section we will take a quick look at the 125 offerings & changes...,
and then vamp things up a bit with a look at the best of the world of the infamous 250cc 2-strokes... = Real Speed!!! ...Nice!
The bikes will be listed in an alternating: Late 1990's-Early 2000's order. Did anyone expect what Kawasaki unleashed with the KR1???!! Are they about to do it again with their new H2?!!
