[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 83687, member: 20316"] There is no right or wrong answer here. I simply stress that beginners should not feel that a four-stroke is the only sane option. I wish I had begun on a two-stroke! I would gladly trade a slightly longer learning curve for the frustration I feel now when I can't do things on a high-end bike that I could on my old one. I know I need to use the clutch more than I do, and shift more, and use the front and rear brake independently for different braking techniques, and many more things that would be habit now had I learned them from the beginning. Four-strokes do have disadvantages as well as advantages, one of those being that they can reinforce bad habits since they are so forgiving. Also, I don't want Abbie to see two-strokes as frightening. She is at a far more ideal age to begin learning now than I was, when I had a full-time job and full-time college classes. [/QUOTE]
