Message: [QUOTE="weimedog, post: 84960, member: 20655"] I find the big four stroke, for lack of a better word..relaxing to ride in the trails. Smooth power everywhere. Understand that the two strokes I have owned were more fun for me when I was younger. I used to like that burst to pop over stuff..double whoops out in the woods...to fan the clutch out of corners for no particular reason. Used to find that the two strokes would make me ride with aggression..hunting for the power..craving that burst of power. Also since they were light it was easy to toss them around. Now that I'm not very aggressive, the easy power of a light weight large bore four stroke lets me keep the kids in the cross hairs. Without having to work as hard. The only thing I miss is that explosive burst once in a while. I have always been a throttle response junkie. I find I can ride the big thumper all day without arm pump. Never was able to ride ANY thing as long as I can this bike I now have. Just easy to go fast for a long period of time. I also find it can tractor up slick hills better than any two stroke I ever rode. For some reason it really hooks up. Can also crawl up over rocks where with my two strokes I had to crash up and over them. ( BIG rocks) The power band is so wide that in the tricky stuff I can run the thing just off idle..and when I want to GO...just twist the go handle and it smoothly takes off. No bog. No hesitation.. just smooth power. I hear similar things from those like myself riding big bore four strokes reguardless of brand.:) [/QUOTE]
