Don't you hate it when ?

I agree.



Other people wont.

LOL your just showing your age

get with the program.

Im with the program... I just dont have fun on 4 bangers.
Id much rather ride a 2 stroke, be less competitive, and
have way more fun. Just my opinion. Doesnt make me
"not with the program."

Won't happen.

Even with the Green Technology the Fed Govt wants, There's been Direct Inject two stroke Technology that's passed CARB, the strictest emissions standards in the States.

I would think that the OEMs would be all over it...but one thing.

More Lands are targeted for closure.

Noise is another huge problem.

Wouldn't doubt air testing in arenas and stadiums for motorized sports and either do like the lead ban and keep kids out of polluted areas or shut down all motorized sports.

Who knew that the lead ban would affect our industry?

I think the OEM's know that the growth of local racing is at is ends with this administration. Barbara Boxer head of a Senate Environmental Committee, look for huge land OHV grabs, partner with the head of EPA and some grasshopper will be on Endangered Species List; just happens to be everywhere we ride.

That's how pessimistic I am for OHV future.

Boxer has tons of power.....hope she comes up for re-election in '10 and a REAL formidable candidate opposes her.

Sorry that I responded to your question in my way; there are plenty of good 125s on Craiglist and think this is Yams last year for YZ125.

You are right. There are kids that are not ready for the 85 to 250F switch.

What a shame. When we had 100, 125, 175, 200 and 250s long ago and most all would sell out.

OK, I know that some people will always prefer a two stroke over the four. What I do not understand is their reasoning. Most people say that a two stroke is more fun than a four. Well my first bikes were two strokes and while I loved them, I would not say they were more fun. I busted my ass riding a two stroke around a sandy track and got tired very fast compared to the four. On the four I am a better and safer rider and I can ride a lot longer. That to me is more fun.

The kids around here that move to the 125 instead of a 250f make far better racers in general. I always point the serious racer kids toward the 125. The bikes are harder to ride and once they get really good on a 125 then they really take off when they hit the upper levels of B class and then on to A. The 125 is just a much better training tool. Plus they're cheaper to race, lighter, and in some cases more forgiving.
