Why a 4 stroke for Trail Riding?

[QUOTE="CRX, post: 83460, member: 16112"] Four strokes have several advantages for trail riding. One of the important ones that haven't been mentioned yet is gas milage. A four stroke will get you many more miles on a tank of fuel. Another advantage is the ability to maintain traction. There is a longer time between power impulses and that lets the tire regain traction. Did you ever notice that flattrackers use single and v-twin four strokes. The " hook up" is the reason. Another factor in four strokes being popular trail bikes is they don't require as much energy to ride because you aren't contantly clutching and fighting for traction. I think a very good rider, in excellent physical condition could go faster on a two-stroke but for the majority of the riders, a four stroke will be easier to ride. You don't get the speed sensation on a four stroke, but if you compare lap times you might be surprised to find you are turning better times on the four stroke and be able to maintain your speed for a longer period of time.........CRX [/QUOTE]
