While this is completely true that parts are more expensive for a four stroke, you have to think a little bit more outside the box in my opinion.
-A 450's top end has to be done once a year, it may be around 1500 dollars once alls said and done. A two strokes top end has to be done easily twice a year, if you're fast, thatll be around 1200 dollars by the end of the year.
-You dont neccessarily need a 1200 dollar pipe, in a couple years the sound restrictions wont allow them anyways it seems.
-A 450 requires simple 93 octane pump gas, a total of around 7$ to fill up the gas cans we all use (unless gas goes down). A 250 two stroke requires an octane of above 100, so race fuel is around 70$ for a 5 gallon container x however many times you have to buy more race fuel.
Personally, iv always ridden two strokes, (just bought a 450), so im not being biased, but i feel like in gas alone youll be saving the difference at the end of the year.
And in terms of if the bike blows up, do more than enough airfilters (use common sense, i dont think its worth a day of practicing on a beyond dusty track) but of course, shit happens...
We had 2 250's, sold the both and bought one 450. I think the difference in spendatures for the year will be very close if not less expensive.
