    Two strokes are a lot cheaper to maintain. The skills to do Maintance, what change, piston and rings and put jets in a carburetor are always 10 times more easier than how to adjust the valves on a four stroke. A lot of people don’t live in California, where there seems to be twice as many race shops and dealers, so you have to do a lot of the work yourself. In my opinion, two strokes are cheaper to purchase easier to work on and maintain.

      Not just that, but if you know how to ride a 2-stroke, you can destroy 4-strokes...even with a smaller displacement. That's why they limit maximum 2-stroke displacement in the 450 class to 250cc, and 150cc in the 250F class. A 350cc -2stroke, with the latest upgrades, frame, vibration reduction, direct injection, etc, will lay waste to 4strokes in the right hands.

    I bought my first dirtbike (used) rode it for 50 ft then tore the entire thing apart for a COMPLETE rebuild. Never took a bike apart before. Would not have attempted that on a 4T. Being able to wrench on your own bike as a new rider was pretty sweet.

    I like riding four strokes too, when they are running well. Trouble is, I have never had much money to spend, and I keep coming back to the two strokes. Having to get the valves and associated wear items done is just too expensive. Two stoke i can do myself, without mucking it up. So while riding four strokes is easier, living with them isn't.

    I’m on the fence with this one. I’ve got a Husq 250 2 stroke and a KTM 450 4 stroke.
    KTM 450 4 stroke: Feels so much heavier but has more predictable power delivery and I prefer the exhaust note.
    Husq 250 2 stroke: So much lighter feel and power delivery can surprise me. But the 2 stroke requires so much more engagement and can feel more rewarding and exhausting at the same time. Pick ur poison …...

    Owned two stokes all my life, two months ago bought my first four stroke. Mostly I ride enduro trails, still getting used to the four stoke but overall it is so much forgiving than my two stoke. Nowadays I ran the two stroke when riding alone or in small groups, and take the four stoke when ridding in larger groups.

    Everything you said is correct. However, keep in mind that 25 years of RD has gone into 4 strokes. Just take a moment and think about 25 years of RD going into 2 strokes. You would probably be looking at a CR250 making 60hp and weighing 195lbs.

    • @slayerfan209

      As much as I wish that were the case, it’s not reality. 2 strokes don’t have that much more room for development to get anywhere close to what you think. It did take an insane amount of work to get a 250 2 stroke even close to 60hp, let alone while only being 195lbs. Not even MXGP works bikes would be capable of those numbers. 250 2 strokes are only making 41-45hp stock. Even getting a new 450 to 60hp would take 1000s of dollars. The most powerful 450 doesn’t make more than 53hp stock even though the magazines lie about their dyno results. Don’t get me wrong,I’m a 2 stroke guy, I ride a YZ250 and a CR500, but even my 500 would need an exhaust and some porting to reach 60hp. I’m talking at the wheel not the crank like dirt bike magazine does when they say the new 450s are close to 60hp

    Everyone is going to have their own opinion on this, and to each their own. But, I will play devils advocate on many of these opinions.... Carbureted? If we're going to compare for the sake of buying a new bike, new 2-strokes are EFI as well. Although, many still prefer carb's due to the simplicity and reliability. Vibration? Any post-2017 counter-balanced KTM-based 2-stroke is smoother than a majority of the thumpers and fatigue riders less. Ease of riding? Corner on a 4-stroke, and then the exact same corner on the 2-stroke. The 4-stroke, even if the same weight, will always feel heavier due the abundance of parts rotating, causing the engines to act as huge gyroscopes and requiring more energy to turn and lean the bikes over. Maintenance....2-strokes win there as well...no valve shimming, no stretching came chains, no multiple oil filters. Technology...both have throttle mapping, both have EFI...sort of the bust there. Cost...2-strokes are less to purchase, and less to maintain. Ease of riding...sort of comes to tuning. If you throw a new riding on a 450 or 300....both will hurt. Both can be tuned to be "easier" the ride. I will say that you can be generally "lazier" on the thumper due to the torque.
    In the end, each person have their preference. I learned on 2-strokes, but changed to thumpers when the 250F's started becoming popular, then a few 450s and 350s. But, after switching to primary off-road riding, I've gone back to 2-strokes and don't think I'll be riding another thumper off road for the reasons above. These 300 zingers just can't be beat. Ride on everyone!

But you know what? You still need double the displacement size to do what a much lighter and simpler system can do. I would tell you the opposite. You want a motorcycle that can do both?

    Perfect ! Now all the girls are going to go out and get 4-strokes! 😋 Honestly, I choose to ride a 2-stroke (YZ250) because it does indeed take more skill, and when you do it right, its more fun. If I was going to race Moto seriously, I'd prolly race a 250F...and hate every minute of it 🤣 JK Braaap!

    4 stroke is a political agenda, 2 stroke is freedom and fun.

    4t lug up the hills, my happy place ridding. Most of my ride on the 4t in the desert I can short shift, keep the chassis calm and chug across long varied terrain faster and in more control.

    5 months ago same video but caption was 2 strokes are better than 4 strokes top 10 reasons why 🤣🤣🤣. Its really just preference but as a beginner I think 2 stroke is a bit easier to move/ throw around and a teensy bit harder throttle control but alot more fun and then them 4 stroke 450s forsure are scarier right off the bat with throttle response and feel like tanks moving around

      Nobody wants to rebuild a 10 or 15 year old forestroke anyways. I recently sold a 2012 KX450 in mint unused condition and I was surprised at the lack of interest. A classic 2 stroke fetches far more $.

    4 strokes are the best bikes ever for beginners, novices and family ride events. Those with top physical condition who can keep the 2 stroke pinned with no lazy riding 4 stroke habits, you'll have the win every time, Just rebuilt my 2 stroke. New jug, top end lectron carb, $2,000. You could buy a new 2 stroke for the cost of replacing just the jug and valve train on 4 strokes. Absolutely ridiculous,. MG KTM also has great bikes as long as your not concerned with money, maintenance and time. KTM makes lots of money pushing the 4 stroke narrative, warehouses full of replacement parts.

    For the cc the 2 stroke will win every time it should be 250 2 strokes vs 250 4 strokes

  • @BenjaminPrice-e3v

    What he isn’t telling you is that modern 4 strokes also need top end jobs fairly often with their ridiculously high compression ratios (referring to modern Mx 250 and 450’s) and top end jobs on a 2T cost a third less AT LEAST Compared to a top end on a 4 stroke. Have fun adjusting your valves all the damn time. And I’ll keep ripping good ole reliable, powerful, best sound best smelling machines on the planet til the day I DIE! 2 stroke or NOTHING!!!!

    If they ever let 250 two strokes race against the 250 fours there won’t be anymore debate. Four strokes are the motocross version of “equity and inclusion” so that’s a big fat nah for me.

    We are just going to have to agree to disagree Jay. 4 T are much easier, but 2T are so much more fun. Ride a 4T on a tight single track vs. a 2T. You might come to your senses.😂
