[QUOTE="nephron, post: 581148, member: 23759"] I used to whine about 4 strokes, but then I rode one. They're great bikes. If you haven't ridden a modern 4, you should try it out. They have a lot down low, and spool up quick like a 2 stroke. ANYONE who likes the KX500 power outlay will love a modern 4 stroke. Do they have as much power? Probably not, but how much KX500 can you put to the ground anyway? :eek: You'd have to stand on the front fender if you ever got traction. That's why they're great desert bikes--the power is so far out there, it really can only be truely used at speed through sweeping berms and rutted sandwashes. The newer 4 strokes are a dream around a track. Alas, I don't have to face the dilemna of buying an ATK700. I read an article in DIRTBIKE last night about it, and they said it has absolutely nothing beyond low midrange, but pulls like a truck before that. Sorry. Not my kind of power. Lawson also said the only guy that could start it was White, CEO of ATK. No one else could. No thank ya'. I like mine. [/QUOTE]
