direct injection, could this save our beloved 2 strokes?

YES, YES, YES.......
BRP's outboards are cleaner than the 4-strokes. I believe that the E-TEC will do the same for the Doos. Direct injection 2 strokes have been around in various forms since the 80s, but were too costly to produce on a large scale.
Anyone who is/was into roadracing surely remembers the street legal 2-stroke's last stand- the Yamaha RZ. Many tears were shed upon it's demise, but I always knew that direct injection was the lowly 2-stroke's only hope. I have high hopes that innovations like E-TEC will usher in a new era of street legal 2 stroke motorcycles, as well as light (and fast) ATVs.
In the meantime, I'll be saving up for a 900 ETEC, whenever BRP decides to make one.

well guys..DI is coming to your cars/trucks too..all the major manufacturers have been working on it for years....my best guess is we will see it on the street within the next 6 yrs....I got to talk with a Delphi engineer 6 yrs ago and at that time they needed more computer onboard then what was currently available...as well as kinks in the hi pressure injectors to live in the combustion chamber..but it is coming..........

Ditto on all of the above. I can't wait for the wife's 09 XP Summit X 154" 600 E-Tec to show up this fall. I'm sure she'll want me to break it in for her.
I rode 3 of them in Febuary, Very nice. I just wish my new 800R was DI. Maybe next year.

It is already out... I believe the Pontiac Solstice GXT or whatever... the 2.0L inline four turbocharged motor is direct. BMW has had a couple, and VW has had them too....
Very interesting stuff... like everything it is a cost/benefit... Manufacturers put out the least amount of technology that they possibly can, in order to meet emissions..
No not that ive heard of but i hope to see it, that way the two stroke will make its return
GM also has it in the cadillac cts. 300hp DI v6!
im thinking with ski-doo going to a DI motor on the 600's well see some boosted sleds again, and maybe they will make something large than 800... the skidoo SDI is a pretty weak design, but direct injection seems like turbo dreams!!
di is pretty picky with how it runs sometimes
yep, 304hp of N/A DI v6.
