Message: [QUOTE="KDXfile, post: 97468, member: 16871"] Sparky, I agree, for a casual trail bike, a 4-stroke is nice. Especially out West where you live. But, I think it depends on where you live and what kind of riding you do determines which one works the best. We don't have any public lands or open terrain down here in AL. All our trails are tight single track which are great for 2-strokes. Also, since I rarely get to trial ride but mainly race, I need a bike that starts when I want it to and isn't prone to stalling. I've had several 4-strokes and from a racing perspective they were nothing but headaches. The 2-strokes I've owned need very little maintenance and are more rider friendly out in the woods. As for range, our races usually don't exceed 50 mi. so that isn't an issue around here anyway. [/QUOTE]
