The AMA should let 250 2 Strokes in lites, it will make more competition, more privateers would ride them. The other reason is if they don't...2 Strokes will die out. Like they are already, we really need the AMA to allow them to race in the lites class

Hmmm...I don't think this topic has ever been discussed.

Hey, which is better- two stroke or four stroke?

Wouldn't be fair. a 2 stroke is twice as fast as a fourstroke of the same displacement.

Remember the 2 stroke has a powerstroke every time it's at TDC, a 4 stroke every other

I am old enough that when I was 16, I used to hang at a Greeves shop in Hemet, CA, and drool over a used 250 just like it.

And let Davi Millsaps ride a 550, and alessi ride a 350, then villo on a 300, dungey 400, stewart 125. I hope DC pushes for any stroke, any cc, premier and support classes. It's only fair. And much better for all involved.

They're letting them run in the Australian outdoors this year. We'll see how that goes.

just as long as they don't screw with the amatuer side of things

we have it working fine.


they can do what ever the hell they please in pro.


500cc in the 450 class wouldn't hurt a thing either. love to see a 500 cc A/F in the outdoor mx stuff, hell i might take the 100 or so people with me to go watch again if they did.

Well good question john, First off on this bike you start by putting your left foot on the bar behind the front wheel, Then you must put it in the gear between 4th and 5th this is called 4.5th, And you simply rev the bike till she's BOUNCING THE REV LIMITER!!
drop the clutch and your the holeshooter.

I don't think so. Take a 13yr old. He can ride the 12-13 or 12-15(depending an sanction)stock and mod, the supermini 12-15 and 13-16, then the open mini, and then you got schoolboy classes they qualify for too. That's up to 7 separate classes for that kid. 2 motos each plus run-offs and you got potential for 21 motos. It should be cleaned up a bit.

IMHO no.... 250 2 strokes should not race against 250 4 strokes. They should race against other 250 2 strokes.

Yes it does belong here. But you dont. Your not a fan of moto, or else the hell you would know. Ever heard of des nations? Thats the proof. Ever ride at a track? More proof. Unless you think that because you ride a 450 no-one can beat you. Havn't you ever been passed by a 125? You think a 4cyl. 1000cc would be best? Some guys simply ride a smaller bike better, some a bigger bike, why 'make' them ride a certain bike that doesn't suit them?

The AMA were shitting bricks when they heard JLaw was seriously considering, and testing a 250 smoker for the 250f class outdoors last year
