Got an 09 YZ250 its so much fun to ride compared to a tractor
Had tractors. would have to get rid of them in two years
Got stuck with a Honda CRF450 08 blew the gearbox at 27 hours
All the harderning was taken off the drive dogs
Honda.com would not return my emails
Replaced 3rd 4th and 5th gears
Reassembled the red pig and flicked it

4 strokes
Its like riding with a hand grenade

Great to be back with my two stroke
Which I will keep for a long long time
Two strokes for ever

Motocross Action Mag knows the truth and states it…They love 2-strokes too!..

The big problem is the Japanese manufacturers DON’T want to build 2-strokes anymore!…SO the pros don’t race them!

They are now “green companies” and think the image is better for them…Until people/racers start to realize that 4-stroke time bombs at $8,000+ dollars (and probably 9 or $10,000 in 2 years)are not the answer, 2-strokes will be pushed to the sidelines or cancelled altogether.

We need the rules changed to displacement only in US Pro Motocross and Supercross…Then hopefully KTM or another company will continue developement with 2-strokes and kick butt!

I agree with all of you guys but only actions will make the difference. I just bought the last MXA magazine and had a blast reading it!! They are so like us! They done a test on the YZ 125 and love every pages of it! AMA should be banned as a racing organization. Where is the honesty in that sport? Just mostly everybody in the industry is just hypocrite about it. Look at Villopoto having an hard time with the 450. This thing is a mess to ride. They just killed the soul of the sport for money. Watched Supercross on Speed last week.. on mute. We need to get something going on..I am going to a motorcycle show this week-end and going to bring a bag with me if I feel like puking.

Mick – Yes I agree we will do something in order to have two stroke racing in the USA. This site can help bring folks together.

KX500Pilot – It would be great to hear from everyone about their preferences. How can we gather opinions of the folks that are not on the internet??

Its all about the money. 90% of guys I know prefer to ride and watch 2-strokes. I’m shocked and disgusted with U.S. motocross.

2-Stroke Championships in England growing in popularity…500cc Annual Meetings in the Netherlands…and one single two stroke only “invitational” in America that doesn’t even get covered via television or magazine. I have to believe we can do something about this. Can’t we?

Video #2 at the 35 to 40 second mark is music to my ears. Steel or Aluminum framed, they are a blast to ride.
