[QUOTE="crf230ripper, post: 1210613, member: 78392"] Coming from someone who has ridden both 2 and four strokes, take it from me, four strokes are definitely easier to learn on then 2 strokes. Less stalling, not having to stay on the gas so much and not having to worry about the power band kicking in and throwing you from the bike haha....Anyway, just my opinion but I think 4 strokes are easier to learn because the power is always there , and you decide how much to give based on throttle. I am somewhat of a new rider, and started practicing on my buddies 2006 rm125 2 stroker, and ended up buying a 2007 CRF230 4 stroke. His 125 is tempermental as far as having to stay on the gas to prevent bog, and when stopped having to continue to rev the bike so as to not stall it. On my 230....i just stop , let it idle, and when im ready to go...pop it in first and bounce. Anyway you get the idea. Now these are 2 completely different style bikes, however all 2 strokes are pretty much like i described, and for someone just learning a four stroke is a better choice.....2 strokes are just meant to go fast. So are four strokes, but they give you the option of slowing down without problems. Also 4 strokes are less maintenence,but usually more expensive to fix, having said that there is usually not a top end rebuild every year like with 2 strokes. Anyway Im 5'9 215 and my CRF 230 is a good size/power for me (after i uncorked and rejetted) My next bike will probably be a CR250 four stroke....either the R or X. All my buddies that are really sick riders and have big bikes have 4 strokes. Take it for what its worth, you'll get a million opinions up here on the 4 vs 2 subject...Just my 2cents....or was that 3?? Doug [/QUOTE]
