2-stroke equivalent of Honda/Predator?

Are there any general purpose 2-stroke engines that come in a similar size to the predator series of engines? I'm surprised I can't find anything that's bigger than a weed eater engine.

I want to make a rack mount engine bike and I want little weight. I'm going to use a chain drive. Why do I never see anyone simply put a predator with a generic cluch on the back of the bike and use a chain (nothing fancy)?

The only gas bike I have right now is a staton friction drive kit and I'd like a bit more power and durability.
I have to tell you, there is really no equivalent between the 4 stroke and the 2 stroke. 4 stroke is apx 200 cc and 5hp and a 2 stroke is a 100 cc and 5hp. A couple small changes to the 2 stroke and you have 15hp where to get 15hp from a 4 stroke you really have to work and spend some money.
 
I'll never understand why some people would think halving the power strokes and adding more spinning weight could ever make a comparable power plant in the same size.
