I constantly read that racing was so much better when it was just 2strokes. I have to disagree, look at the parity in the last decade. The amount of riders that can win on any giving weekend has never been better. I think it has to be because the 4-stroke is a better machine and evens the playing field.
I think with the economy starting to improve and with Feld and MX Sports taking this sport to levels it has never been before that the sport is going to be bigger than ever.

there's more to the 2 stroke than sound, but the violence in how the motor performs was a "star" of the show. all in all, recent racing has been good but the speed is just so high that it's a little more terrifying and a little less awesome, imho.
who told you that?
wow, really?
Dazzlindino how many manufactures won title between 1993 and 2003? I doubt it was five!
Also ooking forward to a comprehensive list of injured riders pre season in the past ten years compared to the final 10 years of two stroke only competition by Hellion to prove his point is correct. Should make for some interesting reading and really prove a point either way one way or the other, OR maybe we will realize that riders used to crash on two strokes as well, I know I know I should not be so ridiculous, Two strokes Motorcycles don't crash.
Bring on A1 already
haha, those titles dont count, cause they were on 2 strokes....
"4-strokes making racing better?"
Yes, they're awesome,
No, they're killing the sport,
Yea, name one instance,
I can name several you butthead,
Oh, calling names now you jackoff,
Your mother,
No, your mother,
Blah, blah, blah,
Bike counts at races here are at an all time low. Mini O's down 500 entries from last year, so you were saying?
With them going down that says something about the economy and cost of our sport.

if i said the sky was blue the thread would end up exactly like that.
watch, someone will not read this down here, and they will try to be sarcastic and argue that the sky isnt blue. it will be the smartest, wittiest thing you've ever heard. more than likely the person will be a professional stand up comedian.
a top 10 engine costs. Anyway the bikes have gotten so good and just like in other sports such as F-1 they reduce
the redline or engine size to keep the sport safer. I think a 175cc four and 2 stroke stoke and 300 4 and 2 stroke open class will help with the injury issue a fair amount. Or drop the 4 stroke hype all together. Some porting, and a pipe is a whole lot less expensive on a 2 stroke than a 4 stroke. Honda is a major player on the ama racing committee and they pushed the 4 stroke coolade. They can take a hike if they won't build another 2 stroke race bike.
5 manufactures won championships between 1993 and 2003, just as the last 10 years.
We say this every season, oh the parody!! Then RV ruins our sport, again...
The riders now have so much more flow and style. I think there are more injuries now bc of the way the sport has evolved with trying to scrub everything. You have to ride on the edge and attack more than ever in this sport.
Parody is a piece of art that mimics another in a humorous way.
