QuoteThe reason I'm leaning toward 2 stroke is the cheap price of engine rebuilds.
The 2 strokes are cheaper to rebuild, but need it much more often. A used 4 stroke that has been taken care of will not need a rebuild because of your use.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

They are fun ..especially around the dz on cloudy days. I just took my Honda XR80 in today for a new back tire/tube. !999 4 stroke for $800.
It's enough to kill me. Yet it's not capable of climbing trees like the bigger bikes. No need for that.
Gonna spike the tires for more ice fun.

The RM 250 has a helluva lot of poop. I had 75 RM 250 when I was 16 yrs old and it was more than I could really handle at the time but I rode it to the extreme anyway. Be carefull not to hurt yourself. A couple yrs ago I rode a friends Yamaha 360 and scared the shit outa myself. 6 gears, water cooled. More power than I needed. I think I'll stick with the open hiway and my Harley.
I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

I like the idea of having the power available when it's time to put the hammer down. And I think I have the sense not to push it too hard.
People told me my 750 was too mych for a first bike, but I only layed it down once - thanks to my dad and his over zealous use of armour all on the tires.
Yes, I nearly strangled him. Looked SHARP though. Until I broke the turn signal and bent the brake pedal on the fall.

I think these guys are right. A 4 stroke is very durable and easier to ride. Another thing is that 4 strokes can be easier for hill climbing.
Don't know a lot about 4-strokes because they became popular after I quit riding, but I hear they're great.

if you want a trail bike, and something to take you up into the mountains, I suggest a four stroke, I have 03 YZ250 and a 02 YZF426 and both are made to race, jump and go fast. however, fourstrokes have more torqe and you can go slower with less rpm needed to climb, on a two stroke you need to have your rpm's higher and basically be riding harder.
there are lots of older four stroke trail bikes for around the same price as a old two stroke and more than likely you won't need to work about a engine rebuild on four stroke, but be prepared to atleast the top end if you buy a two stroke.
Also there are strick laws coming into effect on noise and emiosions of two strokes, the are essentially beginning to be phased out. you might have to buy a new spark arrester for whatever bike you get if it's older.
not sure if any of that helped and or made sense, i am in a hurry. good luck.

Armor All belongs nowhere near anything on a motorcycle...wow I thought those were urban legends.
I've had my share of close calls on the street bike, which is why I don't ride it much anymore. Spending most of my riding time trying not to get run down by morons on cell phones really took the fun out of it.
