Both Reed and Stewart say the tracks have gotten easier and the bikes have gotten better. There was some words about the two stroke days taking more talent to ride. What's everyone take on the interviews and statements by these two great riders posted on racerx?
I wonder how much harder those guys would think the current tracks would be if they were on a two-stroke.
The Shop
2 stroke is all about the power band
Then again, if JS7 won SX titles in '06, '07, '08', '09, '10, etc... he'd probably already be retired. If 2-strokes stayed, I think JS7 has 90+ SX wins and has numerous undefeated outdoor titles.
Pit Row
2007-???? wouldn't have been a contest at all.
because we would have still had to beat RC, CR, and RV during all those years and I don't think he would have.
He would probably have about 48 wins and only 2 championships. RC and CR were awesome on 2 strokes and'
I watched RV ride a two stroke like it wasn't going to last a moto. Champions are champions and they all have to
deal with the changing times, tracks, and bikes. MC won 72 races on a smoker and nobody would have beat that
record. In my opinion.
Seems to me that they are all about flow now compared to the tracks of old.
Fact is, 450 or not, make the faces and lips steeper and slower and the guys are only gonna jump what is ok. The 3-4 they were doing was what, 7 jumps all the same, perfect angle etc. If that was back in the day, a couple might be small, tall, different angles etc
