Why are 2 strokes so fast?

Because combustion takes place with each revolution of the crankshaft with a 2-stroke, this format puts out more power than a 4-stroke engine and the power has more instantaneous delivery. This are some reasons why 2-stroke engines have a long history of use on many different types of motorcycles.

What are the advantages of a 2 stroke diesel engine?

Two-stroke engines are smaller and lighter than four-stroke ones, and tend to be more efficient since they produce power once during each rotation (instead of once during every two rotations, as in a four-stroke engine). This means they need more cooling and lubrication and suffer higher wear and tear.
