Here at BikeBound, we’re big fans of two-strokes — the sound, smell, and sometimes scary powerbands of these two-wheeled smokers just move our blood. 2023 was a particularly strong year for two-strokes on BikeBound, so we decided to follow up our Best Customs of 2023 with a 2T-only list.
As with our previous Top 10 lists, your visits, likes, and engagement served as votes, so these bikes were selected according to their popularity among our readership. This is the most objective ranking we could achieve.
Without further ado, here’s our list of the Top 10 Two-Strokes of 2023, in alphabetical order by builder:
• Crane Moto: Yamaha R5
• Cus’Tom Motorcycle: Yamaha RD350
• Julian Farnam: “2023” Yamaha RZ350
• ETTO Motorcycles: Suzuki RG500
• Fuchs Workshop: “Speciao” Piaggio Tracker
• Moore’s Competition Cycles: Suzuki GT350 Tracker
• Moto Vera: Ducati Banshee
• Vic Shield: RZ421-Powered MZ Skorpion

It’s curious that builders and modders aren’t exploiting the potential of the Suzuki GT 750 more. With not too much tweaking, it’s possible to get more HP than stock and not in a 1000RPM powerband 🙂 and with modern suspension and some weight-loss, it could be a fun mount.
