Came across two interesting stories related to 2 stroke motorcycles winning races using snowmobile and boat motors:

Thank you for posting those two videos.
Such incredible history I was totally unaware of.

Cool links. Thank you for posting.
A reminder of Can-Am developing the prototype 500cc road bike using a Bombardier snow mobile engine around 1978.
The bike mags reported on it.
500cc water cooled two stroke parallel flat twin.
Simple fast and light.
Sadly, the project was shelved.
Somewhere, I have a picture of the prototype bike, which looked sort of like an oversized Bultaco Streaker.
