Brrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaap
I sold my 4 strokes before I went to college. They were the best bikes I ever had. They wouldnt break as long as maintenence was performed regularly. (yamahas) I just so happened to come up on a newer blown up yz125 for 500 bucks. I couldnt pass it up. Still had origional front tire, sprockets, etc. Reason it was blown up was because the duffus had it jetted for Colorado and rode it in the California desert. I bought a new cylinder, had it ported, head milled, rejeted, pipe and silenser. It rips, sounds sweet, and the smell of premix and race gas is the greatest. I missed the sound of a wound out 125 for the last couple years. If you havnt ridden one for a while, give it a whirl. I bet alot of teenagers or people new to riding probably wouldnt be able to ride one. (compared to their 4-banger) Heck, I used to be different before I had yamahas, ha, I used to ride Kawasakis.

Don't worry Okie, we'll lose sooner-or-later. We are our own worst enemies.

There is no war to fight. Just like Nam, it ended over 3 decades ago.
CC for CC the 2-stoke is the ultimate dirt bike powerplant.
It produces way more HP per unit of displacement than a thumper.
It is significantly lighter than a thumper.
It is mechanically simpler than a thumper.
It is easier to work on than a thumper.
I could go on...
Doesn't sound much like a war, more like a good butt-waxing. :nod:
You gotta have some ammo to even start a war.
But hey, there is a market for everything - mopeds, chia pets, thumpers, Suzuki's....
:nener:
Engines don't SUCK in air or fuel. ;)
When a pressure differential exists in the carb venturi atmospheric pressure PUSHES fuel in through the jets (it's why your carb vent tubes are so critical, they provide the PUSH).
When a pressure differential exists between the cylinder and the pressure outside of it will try to equalize the pressures. Usually with lower pressure in the cylinder air is PUSHed into the engine, but sometimes it goes in the other direction (exh blowdown for instance).
You may now all return to your "my strokes are better than your strokes" ranting. :)

You say potato... ;)
Sounds like one of those geek arguments I used to hear in the ASME lounge at school years ago (I DON'T suck... I merely create a low pressure condition).
And "you suck" is so much more efficient than "you are the recipient of a higher pressure source exerting itself on you". :laugh:
Now, where were we? Oh yeah, "thumpers PUSH"! :yeehaw:

Actually the air is being drawn onto the cylinder by the increased volume due to the cushflugina attached to the wang bang moving to an a gravitationally advantaged position ( unless its a free styler doing a back flip in which the inverse of the root mean ...... ) :blah:
In laymans terms ( and most motorcylist ) it sucks air - and I checked my guage - the thumper sucks ( in laymans terms ) more than a 2-stroke. :laugh:
