Okiewan said:That all sounds great Rider 007 ... but honestly, I can't remember seeing more than 1 or 2, 2-t's at the track over the last couple of years... try to convince an owner to banish 95% of his entry fees. I'm sure he'll be all over it.
I hate to sound so pro 4-t/anti 2-t, but man, you just can't deny the future. It's already here. I was riding when 4-t's where the norm the first time, then 2-t's and now 4-t's again... it happens.
Seems that in SX and MX, only DV has figured that out, lol.While the strokers have their place and offer some advantages, they are also at a disadvantage in some areas.

Okiewan said:There's a lot of talk about the rules, what's fair, displacement advantages, technology advantages/disadvantages, blah, blah, blah... I don't think anyone disagrees that the rules favored the 4-T's ... none of that is really the issue! None of it. Right, wrong or otherwise, the writting is on the wall.
Okiewan said:It's not that anyone wants to see 2-T's go away... I'd really like to see the mfg's make two versions of every (class) bike, but do you really think that will continue (KX125)? There very well may come a day when all the tracks have a class just for 2-T's, but how long do you think they can afford to double up like that? The roles are just going to be reversed; just as the "4-Stroke Nationals" where/are a second tier series, so will the 2-T classes.
Okiewan said:We are wasting time arguing for the superiority of either technology, the writting is on the wall and all the complaining in the world isn't going to stop the demise of the 2-stroke. The most popular form of motorcycle racing is completely dominated by the 4-T.. the new buyers see nothing but 4-T's and that's what they'll buy, end of story.
