Message: [QUOTE="motometal, post: 162028, member: 24727"] AJ, you may just have to buy a bunch of 500 engines, then convert CR450s to two strokes!!! ___ I like an engine that has a hard hitting powerband. To me, there is a fine line between "smooth", "tractable", "electric" and "BORING"! Four strokes are great for woods and/or racers who want the fastest lap times and don't want a sudden burst of power. For me, half of the fun IS the sudden burst of power (unless it's muddy or hardpack, of course). I don't race (except maybe at spodefest), I'm just out for the thrill of riding when I ride. But, to each his own. So you are going to give me a bike that's heavier, harder to start, noisier, more moving parts, more expensive to rebuild, with a less than thrilling powerband? Nah, I'll pass! In fact, I'm not even sure I will like the powerband of the new CR250 with the solenoid operated powervalve...haven't ridden one yet so I can't say for sure. [/QUOTE]
