Another 'nothing but the truth' vid from http://crosstrainingenduro.com/ Smoker or stroker? Grunt or braaaap? This unbiased review of two strokes and four strokes will help decide on which number of strokes suits you, and we don't mean that in a sexual way. Opinions were sought from some of the world's best noobs, rednecks, dickheads and village idiots if you are asking 'should i buy a two stroke?' or 'should i buy a four stroke?'

There was a huge difference between the way a 4 stroke and a 2 stroke dirt bike performed. Two stroke motorcycles dominated the motocross and supercross classes because of their high performance and light weight. While the heavier, less nimble thumpers performed at their best in the enduro and trail circuits. Though, they still had to compete against the mad-men that were willing to strap themselves to a 500cc 2 stroke screamer. The four strokes have fast become the dominating force on motocross tracks. Why? Well it seems there are a number of debatable reasons. The power to weight ratio on 4 strokes is much better than it used to be, so a 450cc four stroke is now a lot closer to the weight of a 250cc two stroke and puts out an impressive amount of speed and power. Back in the early 90's four strokes were heavy beasts and were considerably slower than the two's. With the new and improved thumpers, many people find them easier to ride with their smooth, tractable power delivery. But on the other hand, a lot of riders don't actually want that. They want the thrill, noise and adrenalin of a powerband that only a two stroke can serve up. So why have some companies stopped making 2 strokes? Some people believe (and blame) the format of the AMA and large companies such as Honda that have had a heavy influence over the major Championship races that dictate the specifications of bikes that are allowed to compete against each other. Is this the reality behind why we have witnessed the decline of the popular two strokes? Here is an overview of the potential advantages and disadvantages of going four stroke or two stroke. TWO STROKE BENEFITS More powerful per cc Lighter Less likely to stall at low revs Less likely to overheat at low speed Quieter over a distance Cheap top end overhaul & do-it-yourself Cheaper to buy when new TWO STROKE DRAWBACKS Less economical and more pollution You need to premix oil Snappy response can make traction hard Front end can be twitchy & easily deflected Much less engine brake More engine noise for the rider Top end rebuilds are more frequent FOUR STROKE BENEFITS Smooth power delivery good for traction Better fuel economy & less pollution Engine braking is good for beginners Less snappy response good for beginners Engine noise is quieter for the rider Less frequent top end rebuilds Extra weight gives a 'planted' feel FOUR STROKE DOWNSIDE Expensive & time-consuming top end rebuilds Heavier Easier to overheat at low speed Much more likely to stall at low revs Exhaust noise travels much further Cross training context There are many things that can complicate the choice between a two stroke and four stroke.

I have a 1995 Yamaha Blaster 200 2 stroke quad and a 1999 Honda xr100r 4 stroke dirt bike.

put a kx250 2stroke and shut tha fuck up
-
so when he created the three stroke
-
The 2 stroke versus 4 stroke argument has gone on since bikes were first made and they will do until electric bikes take over when the world runs out of fuel which will be ages from now personally I prefer 4 stroke as in my opinion they're smoother on rough trail they barely fail to start especially Hondas but I respect 2 stroke riders and their bikes
-
2 strokes rule end of....;-)
-
Nah 2 stroke is best
-
seems kinda one sided to me. not a fan of either 4 or 2 smokes, I prefer turbines i.e. jet engines
-
As an avid viewer of your channel I take personal offence at the references made to the percentage of gay 2 stroke v's gay 4 stroke riders. As a homophobic off road rider who has ridden both 2 strokes and 4 strokes (which makes me a lesbian) I can hand on heart tell when you a four stroke rider is gay - he just closes his eyes when he kisses you......................
-
Dude your obviously gay
-
2 STROKE
-
4 stroke engines last longer 👍 heavier makes it harder to steal 😉
-
at 4;53 was that a 24 piston 2 stroke engine in that Honda
-
was that necessary showin that picture of that gay ktm lover i don't like ktm to much anyway but I'm sure his dad is proud ktm don't care more bikes they sell the bettr gay black white purple - - crippled -
-
who does these studies so many percent of 2 stroke riders are gay etc etc etc this is ridiculous when you buy a bike now they ask your sexual preference to if your gay we will only sell you a ktm
-
every body is gay by the sounds of it or turning that way maybe its all the 2 stroke smoke in the air ha ha ha
-
their both good engines 4 strokes have came along way much bettr so sayin that I still prefer 2 strokers
-
250 four stroke. It is more easy for a beginner to control
-
I don't know.... modern 2 strokes can get going in the low end just like a 4 joke.... sorry 4 stroke

I'm in middle school and there's always that redneck country kid who would gladly die defending a two stroke and thinks anyone who rides a four stroke is gay. First off younger kids, such as I, who don't have that much money will be happy to get any bike they get no matter what stroke it is and love riding it. I have a Kawasaki Klx 140 and it may not be very powerful like a kx 250/two strokes 85cc+ but I still enjoy tearing it up with it every day. I have ridden a kx 85cc and compared to mine it definitely feels lighter and a lot more powerful once you get on the pipe but like all two strokes it is very twitchy and if you don't know what you're doing you will be on the ground faster than you can say "Oh shit!" (True story). Anyways the powerband may be really fun on a two stroke I would gladly take a four stroke into a race any day. The four stroke engine is very consistent at keeping it's power steady at the twist of the throttle where the two stroke has to make you always be thinking about the rpm's and how far you twist the throttle at the right time. In the end the two stroke and four stroke are great engines for different types of riding. If you are first getting into riding I would suggest getting a four stroke first due to their consistent power and a more peaceful ride (Peaceful riding does not equal gay) especially if you don't like the high pitched noise of the two stroke (consider your neighbors too). If you are looking for a new bike to upgrade to I would suggest asking to test ride a friend's two stroke/four stroke before you make your decision. I hope this helped anyone who is trying to decide what to get or what to upgrade to.
