The Impossible 2 Stroke!
Спорт
We found the 'impossible' 2 Stroke and it just might the most beautiful motorcycle we've ever seen! When Vic Shield set out to build his dream bike, combining an RD350 two stroke motor (stroked to 421cc) with an MZ Scorpion chassis, he was told that it couldn't be done, that it simply wasn't possible. But that didn't stop Vic from trying anyway! And as you are about to see, dreams do come true...Sit back, relax and enjoy The Mutant in all it's glory :-)

Thanks for watching Nick
I love it when the owner actually took the time to do it himself. He's there just chatting away and you can tell he sweated every single detail on that bike to get it just right. Top bloke and the results speak for themselves. It sounds and looks awesome. Proper machine.

Nice build brings back memories . Unfortunately Ive only got 2 photos but 45 years ago I bought in a closing down sale for £80 TZ350G Barrels, pistons, rings, carbs, head, exhausts. I put them on a RD350 bottom end with home build water pump, radiator, clutch, box section mono shocked rear swing arm and modified frame with full TZ bodywork n fairing, seat and tank in bright yellow with black Kenny Roberts block work. It ran Castrol R was 70 HP. A TZ with a kick-start! It kicked up and even ticked over! Was faster than Kawasaki 900 and at at time there were no water cooled 2 stroke twins with mono shock on the road, this was unique and pre LC years. MOT was a little difficult, Id put additional temporary baffle cans on the spannies hoping the guy would be OK but he says " is this a TZ? Come on get them daft cans off lets here it" ..........it passed!
WOW that wonderful RD sound brings tears to my old eyes. My favorite bike of all time was and still is my then-new bright orange 1975 RD350. My older brother had a 1974 RD350 and talked me into going the 2-stroke route and so glad he did. I still remember it had 40Hp @315 lbs, a fantastic power-to-weight ratio. Today I ride a 2014 Ninja 300 SE. It's smooth and dependable but heavy at 379 lbs and IIRC 34Hp. Yep, sure miss my RD!
Two stroke content is best bike content.
I too love creating my own stile of modifications and improvement in bikes
It comes into power really smoothly by the sound of it.
The crispy sounds coming from a banshee hearth at stationary rpm. Best 2-stroke ever made in my opinion
God this brings back memories, not because I had this crazy contraption, but because back in the late 90s, I brought a roller Banshee and found an RZ350 engine to fit in it(better than the no power valve stock 350 twin), had it bored, stroked crank, 521cc's, widened A's and axles, and ran Hoosier flat track tires on it....god that quad turned out nasty, would literally smoke 3 gears on the streets with ease.... fastest "off-road" bike i ever owned or built, way faster than my old, built CR500R even with the weight disadvantage 😅
Two-stroke ❤❤❤❤❤❤

kinda funny that MZ 660 went in a production ATV and the RZ 350 also went in a production ATV
I'd say 200 hours is time well spent. Well done!
You gotta love a machine that blurs your vision as it's coming on the pipes. This bike could be hard to beat on a tight twisted road.
90hp 100kg that's pretty sick, 🏍🏍
Outstanding build. I especially like the centrifugal clutch behind a transparent cover.

Grew up on 2 strokes still sends a tinge down my spine
Such a beautiful build, and I’m sure is a blast to ride.
Shame I never had one of those big bore kits on my F2 from 89 to 93, and I might have got better times & speeds than my GT380 did. The mutant is a Cafe style work of art ! Great video
I had a 350RD in the 90s. That Engine is so crazy.

Unique, hats off to the guy. I miss my 2 stroke years, I was lucky to own a few (RD350 N2 YPVS, NS400R and a TDR 250)
great new direction for the channel max theres so many strange and wonderfull shed builds out there for the road
I have a Ducati 748 with a very tired engine. For a while now I have regularly dreamt and lightly planned how to install a two stroke engine in the chassis. A 350 twin would be great but a triple like an H2 would truly be amazing. Stellar video guys and amazing work by the bike owners and builders!

Can't say I'm a fan of custom bikes but just figured out why I like this... no stickers, no lights, no plates, no mirrors. Makes such a difference. Now I see why some manufacturers leave the mirrors off bikes in the sales brochures.

Fantastic machine. I'm currently building my own Frankenstein machine.. A 1980 zundapp ks50-529 model which will be married with a Yamaha rd200 engine. The engine hangs inside the Fram now, but has to be rebuild (waiting for parts). And it needs some extra rigidity. Hope to go from the original 2,5 HP to something between 25 and 35... On a 80 kg moped...
