So using the term "Aircooler" or "A!r f00ler" Has no limit and leaves alot of variables opened in a science aspect..You could even group cars, and lawn mowers, and chainsaws, into the term "air coolers or Air cooled" if you want to misrepresent the term. Take away the electric or mechanical cooling fans that cool these items with air flow being pulled over or head heat sink fins, liquid radiators, or running down the highway using wind for cooling, they over heat.
200x, atc 70, 225 dx, Big red, ATC 90, 110, 125M, 350X, Tri-Zinger, YT175 etc... Bikes like these without liquid systems to AID them in cooling, could all be considered "air coolers" or "Air cooled"...Even 250R's and Tri-Z', Banshee's, 400EX, 300ex, Quadzilla, and 450R's, all need airflow to help cool them, no matter what.
Let them all idle long enough even with liquid systems, with no air flow being pulled over the rads or engine, and they will quit running or performance will drop.
