Message: [QUOTE="HajiWasAPunk, post: 1128124, member: 62723"] I'm glad the AMA didn't pass this displacement rule. How can it be that only a year ago it was fair to have a 144 compete with a 250F and now you need a 250 2-stroke to compete with the 250F? As for maintenance, me and a hanful of friends (mostly C class but a couple of B and A one A rider) I have who race 4-strokes haven't found the 4-stroke to cost more to ride. A little more to do with checking valves but that's it. And none of them in the last 12 months have had any problems with them blowing up. I loved the 2-stroke as a kid and if it's all that was there I'd ride it and love it too. I loved Eric's post about the mini-o's. The money tied up in rigs and equipment these days is nothing short of unreal. In 20-30 years there are going to be alot of 70 year olds working 'til their grave to pay off their MX hobby! And yet it still the cheapest form of racing (talk to someone into sprint cars or truck racing etc). [/QUOTE]
