I just bought the latest issue of Dirt Rider and I am completely blown away as to how much coverage there is on 4-strokes and how little on the 2's. Last bike mag I bought was probably a year ago but I was blown away to find that there was next to no information on the 2-strokes.
Are 4's really taking over that badly? I've only ever owned one 4-stroke (DRZ400) - it was a nice, reliable, grunty bike. But I have since returned back to my roots of owning a 2'stroke. I like the simplicity of them, the bark and the snap and the powerband. There may be more regular maintenance to do but at least a guy can do most of it himself. I don't know, I find the 4-strokes too intimidating to work on (at least with my mechanical ability - or lack thereof).
I just hope the 2-s don't get lost in all the new 4-stroke publicity - they're still my favorite.
