Would be so cool to hear the professionals opinion about this 250 2t vs 4t. But they might not be able to be honest since it could hurt the sales of the Fs?
I think I recall saying DV would prefer doing SX on a 2t before a 4t. He might have changed his opinion?
Would be cool to have a poll asking: Would RV on a PC KX250 beat and RV on aPC KXF250? Might be wrong since he's used to the banger, but you get my point.

Lets Start
2stroke or
4stroke
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
easy to fix..inexpensive
It's available so people will buy it.
1) The marketplace voted and thus far the two stroke lost.
2) This year "250cc" means "250cc" including at the the pro level.
Game on.
Besides next year it will all be answered.
4 Toke?
What is a 2T?
2 Toke?
It's an uphill battle for the 2-stroke to climb out of this one. To really turn things around, they might even have to bias the rules to favor the 2-stroke for awhile...although it's highly unlikely we'll see that happen.
Regardless, if it's true we'll get even displacement rules, that's about the best I could hope for. Maybe a team like KTM or even Yamaha can capitalize on this.

The people inside the industry are becoming painfully aware something needs to be done to keep costs in check for amateurs. This is step one. Allowing them heads up in the Pro's is as much marketing as anything else. Privateers are not who they are considering with this move, its to help Local Joe Moto.
I like the two stroke as much as anyone but they just aren't as dominant as you think they are against a 250F. It going to be a battle to get people (mostly the kids who buy as a fashion statement) thinking about them as a viable option.
It ain't going to be easy boys.
Just by the numbers, a bike with 10 extra horsepower and at least 15 lbs. less weight is going to be an advantage in the hands of a pro.
You, of anyone here, should know these facts.
if they are doing it at the 250 cc level,then why not the big bore class ??
Keep posting people. Good input!
With the right riders of course, will BOTH whoop up on a 250f.
Ive witnessed it a FEW times. 250T and 450 tho Im gonna have
to say the 450 has a pretty good advantage even with the power/weight ratio...
So im gonna have to agree with you.
Think of the troubles JS and RC had when they moved up to the 250. This was after being on a 125. I wonder what kind of trouble they would have had if they where going from an 80 to a 250. The 450 is esentially an open bike, tire size and all. Why not have 125, 250 and open? Whatever stroke you prefer.
Post a reply to: Can we some kind of poll deciding the 250 2t vs 250 4t issue?
