We don't have many 2 strokes, also people here are naive, will believe anything you tell them.

Couple examples: I had a 900SS in mid 90's, before Ducati was popular in US so many people would see Ducati for the first time and come over to look at it and ask questions. Like all European bikes it has "PASS" button that flashes high beam, I was telling everyone that "PASS" activates Nitrous and everyone believed it! No one ever doubted my claims of 200 mph even though top speed was about 135mph. Usually I would tell them the truth after lying through my teeth for couple minutes and watch the relief on their face knowing that their CBR/GSXR/YZF can still stomp my Duc on the straights. (No one here cares about turning, it's all about top speed)

My friend had RZ500, same story, told everyone it was a GP500 machine and had 180 hp, 200 mph...

Best one is when some kids come over to look at the RG and see 260 number on the clocks, they have no idea that it's KPH and everyone here believes that last number on speedometer is actual top speed. More than once I overheard excited teenager telling his buddies "Look! This can go 260!!"
