1. Jody Weisel made a 2-stroke plug in MXA.
2. Hellion mentioned it in this thread.
3. Burn1986 made some very wise comments about 2-strokes (
4. DC said 2-strokes are the Devil.
5. FTE agreed with him and talked about self help books.
6. Burn1986 then summed it all up about the Japs attacking the US.
7. Jmar wanted to sell us his kids bikes that were brand new, and couldn't understand why we didn't want little kids' 4-strokes.
That pretty much sums it up, I think.

Buy whatever kind of bike you want, and have fun riding!
If you don't like that the pros are all on 4 strokes, then don't watch the races and go sulk in a corner.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to attend every race within my means or watch on t.v. and enjoy it. I'm going to ride my evil four stroke at the track and have a blast! I'm going to ride on public land legally, within the sound regs and continue to do my part to protect my and every other riders right to ride the trails.
There are some things you can't change by whining on here. Just do what you can to promote and protect our sport, and have fun, instead of slinging e-mud on the internet.
For the record, I would love to see some sort of 125 class added to the pro level. This thread had just gotten stupid with accusations thrown around about who killed this sport. Makes the same old "2 stroke for president" folks seem that much more tinfoil hat-ish, with all their conspiracies.
Man, I've got to stop. OK Newmann, I've stepped away.
That would be awesome, but I don't see that as a likely scenario.
It would be great for privateers, but how many top level pros have told you personally that they would be willing to go back to a two stroke, if that did happen?
btw, are you an newmann both in Louisiana? i'm from there.
The impossible part of the equation to me is the OEMs that quit producing them start making them again all of a sudden.

Looking forward to the 125 cup later this year.. and lots of SX & MX between now & Then.

Why on earth would the stewards of the sport prop up a machine that is less reliable, heavier, costs more, and is SLOWER? The analytical side of my brain says that makes absolutely no sense at all.
How do you miss that. Its what happened and others followed suit. Yep it sucks, I would suggest anyone who wants a 2 stroke revival in racing to build the bike, make it cheap, start an amateur series, and put up lots of contigency and a pro series. Two strokes will come back, if that is to much, then buy a used or new two stroke and race it. If that is to much, then .....
Honda as a corporation is now only four strokes so they'll never return to two strokes.
If people want to buy new two strokes there are options from several manufacturers.
While I support 250cc two strokes against 250 cc four strokes in professional racing I understand the resistance to this especially when the call for this change is coming from people who wouldn't be affected by this change i.e. largely amateur racers and couch potatoes.
I am very glad there is a glimmer of hope with a 125cc two stroke class at a couple of races in the 2011 MX Sports professional series and hope this is expanded in 2012. Putting a renewed focus on the 125 class is just what our sport needs right now so we can continue adding riders at the younger end of the age spectrum.
I think two strokes will make a comeback, because we as riders will make it happen. We can't wait for rule changes to help the movement along. We have to speak with our wallets. It's already happening in my corner of the world, make it happen in yours if it's something you want to see happen. Go against the grain, smell the pre-mix, feel what it's like to ride a bike that reacts to your input and not some heavy numb couch, be cool and different now because soon everyone will be on the bandwagon and while it will still be cool you won't be different anymore.
This thread is starting to go roundy round, like NASCAR. And I'm no fan of NASCAR. When something new happens I'll be back, but for now, I'm out.
