Top 10 Two-Stroke Customs of 2024

Here at BikeBound, we’re big fans of two-strokes — the sound, smell, and sometimes scary powerbands of two-wheeled smokers is hard to beat. We have to say that 2024 was one of the strongest years on record for two-stroke features, so we decided to follow up our Best Customs of 2024 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 2024, in alphabetical order by builder. Got a favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Best 2T Story

This Italjet restored by Ian Davis of ETTO Motorcycles takes the cake as the best two-stroke story of the year…and possibly the best story, period. The family of owner Shane Bland purchased the bike back in 1980. Forty years later, Shane enlisted Ian’s help to help restore the bike for his son, Archie. This is what motorcycling is all about…

Mini Trials: Italjet MT5A, Reborn!

But wait, there’s more… When Ian gave us a video of how he recreated the cracked fiberglass tank and bodywork in aluminum, his metal-shaping skills went viral on social media, with 6.2 million views on Instagram alone — our most viewed post of the year!
