Oh, we still have 2-stroke off-road-only bikes, and a few scooters with them here on this side of the pond, but not any serious mounts.
You are right about the research on 2-strokes. Much of it is being done by the Orbital Engine Company in the land downunder. According to their latest press release, Aprilia just announced a 50cc scooter using their direct-injection technology. Supposed to get better milage with lower emissions than most 4-strokes. You can learn more at http://www.orbeng.com.au. Maybe we'll see big bikes on the road again sometime.
