It used to be that a cc was a cc regardless of number of strokes. 500 cc four strokes vs 500cc two strokes.
There was a time when two strokes had horrid reliability and were hard to ride. 125's would load up and foul plugs with ease if not ridden hard enough.
The fact remains that the sport is dying because the average joe that used to race cannot afford to race a four stroke.
Once everyone is broke, emissions from the four stroke will be zero, since nobody will be left riding.
..........just sayin'.
I wish the American " Pro " series would allow this rule!
I love my 450........but I hate the fact that the 2 stroke guys get thrown under the bus as far as the pro classes go.
The OEM's have such a strangle hold on this sport here it's ridiculous!
Riding 4t and 2t are so totally different. You simply cannot jump on one or the other and be competitive. You need to stay on one or the other. You are either a 4t guy or a 2t guy.
This is great, it may allow some of the privateer and non factory teams to compete more effectively. Now you may see some off brand coming in to fill the void such as gas gas, husky, beta, etc.......
The right kid on a 2 stroke could wax the field if he wanted to. Most probably have been brainwashed into thinking F. There's no limits to mods so buy a KTM 250 and hotrod the damn thing. No F will keep up to it. Go rip a holey and wave bye bye. Or miss the holey and play catch up. If you think you aren't strong enough for a 250-2, train harder. This ain't a sport for pussies. When I started riding again in 92 after 8 years off, I had zero skills. Starting racing in 93, and a year back hadn't made me that much better. I was in the gym 5-6 nights a week and riding 3-4 nights a week. At 30 years old. I did well in the results because I could hammer start to finish without running out of steam. Passed a LOT of guys in the last 2 laps after a shitty start. I was FAMOUS for them.

American Honda announcement on future motocross
products
American Honda recently advised dealers that its current line of
two-stroke motocross machines will be discontinued after the 2007
model year.
“This decision reflects Honda’s commitment to environmental
leadership in the markets in which we compete,” stated Honda
Motorcycle Division Senior Vice President, Ray Blank.
“U.S. market trends and the success of Honda’s revolutionary Unicam™
four stroke motocross and off-road machines, bolstered by the 2007
CRF150R, make this a logical evolution of our product line.”

Honda purposely built some of their worst two strokes after the introduction of their four stroke bikes and called it logical evolution....
