im looking into getting a new bike, ridings to run to give it up like i did a yr ago. anyways old bike was a yz125 owned nothing but yamaha's but im open to peoples opinions if they ride in what they think. i duno just let me know, this time im getting a 250cc. 4 strokes are nice but 2 cycles engines own me. :-\

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

get a 4 stroke....(and not a honda)

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

I prefer 2.. why would you want a 4?

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

2 stroke is the tittys O0 riding a 4 stroke isint the same

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

i hear good things about this years RM250's, but you cant seem to get a better overall bike than a honda; then again, they are all competetive bikes.. I'd go cr250 if i had the money.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

because 2 strokes eat up plugs, espicially if you ride them on the trails. @ strokes are also more maintence, you have to mix the gas. not to mention the gear ratios are different, power bands are hard to stay in (on difficult trails anyway) and they genereally don't come with a head light/tail light.

I guess it really depends on what type of riding you do, but here (and I assume most other places) big long trails and cut lines are what people usually ride.... A nice torquey 4 stroke is pefect for that.

I love my 2 stroke, but I'd also love a nice 250 four stroke...........yummmm, electric start.

id have to say ktm. theyre bitchin bikes. ive got a buddy who races and the only bike he will ride is a ktm.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

4 stroke
adjust valves
bitch to kick over
oil filters
oil all the time
sucks ass when u stall it in a corner

2 stroke
oil and gas mix
and if u dont ride like a ----- you only need one plug.
2 strokes are made to be driven the ---- out of there is no power on the low end

overall i love 2 strokes but whats the bs i hear about them going to stop producing them in 2008?

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

the 4 strokes pull harder on the bottom end. We had an XR250R honda for a time (however short) and it was a nice bike

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

a 250 is too much bike for you try one of these https://i12.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/0c/83/b1_1_b.JPG all your 10 year old friends will love it ;)

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

not bad not bad at all, but i think ill get that powered coated blue so i can call it a yamaha

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

yeah. Put gaytezzas on it and call it the APC edition

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

the yz426 is a hot bike

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

2 strokes require new top ends more often then kain jerks off. riding a MOTORCROSS bike like a MOTORCROSS bike gets alittle borring after awhile, unless you race it, or there is a track around your house. Even then, taking your 2 stroke through the trails sucks.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

a 2 stroke top end is a peice of metal with a hole in it for the spark plug. if they break anything they usualy just crack/scar pistons.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

i ride a 95 kx250

but if i had to buy a new bike it would definately be either the ktm 520sx or the new drz450/

end of story.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

I'm partial to the honda pw50. It's more than enough power to have fun. O0

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

hahah stealth dont count your kids bike, rawr is right theres nothing to a 2 stroke but 80 bucks to rebuild it. ive looked at new 450's my friend has a crf 450, seems like everyone has them now, yz,cr,rm i myself have rode a yz400f,426, and crf450. they r nice, can wheely that ---- going down a hill soo much tq. but something about a 2 stroke when i ride it, i think its cause its so much smaller and lighter they r more comfortable and ----.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

yamaha gets my vote.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

you obviously know nothing about dirt bikes.... don't bother replying anymore about this subject.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

2 STROKE
Pros Cons
Lighter More Pollution
Accelerate Fast, In some Cases More Top End Smoke
Purchase Price Less Expensive Must Mix Gas with Oil (Non Oil Injection Models)
Easier to Repair Rougher Idle than 4 strokes
Have Been Around For Almost 80 Years Noisier than Four Stroke Motor
Very Strong Used Market Harder to Start (in some cases)
Parts Availability Carburetors gum up if not used often
High Resale Value, High Demand Spark Plug Fouling
Simple Design Meaning Less Things To Go Wrong Will be banned in 2005 so parts may become harder to find after that.


4 STROKE
Pros Percived Cons
Quiet Heavy - Not anymore
Smooth Was More Expensive to Repair
Great Turing Motors Not As Many Trained Mechanics - Growing Daily
No Oil/Gas Mixture More Expensive - Not in the long run.
Idle Smooth Slower Top End is a thing of the past
Less Pollution Very Limited Used Market (Although Growing Rapidly)
Not Banned ANYWHERE More Parts to Malfunction (Technology Improving)
Future Production will Be all 4-Stroke Not as Powerful as 2-Stroke In Same CC class
Very Reliable

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

ugh, the new 4 strokes are more violent, louder, not as smooth and generally sick...

u must ride a xr100...hahah

the pros of a 2 stroke are, basically, none compared to the latest 4 strokes, except for the fact that maybe they are a little lighter and easier to handle.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

actually the four strokes are lighter:

crf250r 204 lbs

cr250r 213 lbs

yz250f 206 lbs

yz250r 211 lbs

the only real problem ive heard from buddies of mine that race is that the four strokes frontends want to come up when you get into a burm. but the the nice part about four strokes TORQUE.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

lol, thats the most rediculous thing I've ever read. 2-strokes will never be "banned" what do you think we're going to have third reich style burnings of everyone's weedwackers, leafblowers, ATV's and dirtbikes? :-\

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

you have never ridden a 250 2 stroke then have you... wanna talk about not beiong able to keep the front end down??

the four strokes this year have become lighter than the 2 strokes, because they are getting all the revisions and weight reductions , while the 2 strokes are getting, bold new graphics.

the hype these days are 4 stroke machines, and they have to double the displacement to come up with the same if not slightly nore hp.

ill take my 250cc 2 stroke all day. nothing feels as good as a nice fat 2 stroke powerband.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

you weigh the 250f's against the 2stroke 125s.. same with the 450/250 .. 250f and 250 two stroke are not in the same class .. dur.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

whatever... its all in how/where you ride.... it don't really matter tho.. pick up some chicks while you are young.... then get some toys.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

For everyone that is making some stupid comment about what I PASTED from another site you can take your ---- elsewhere. I don't give a damn about the differences between the two. I'll stick with streetbikes and a new quad will be joining pretty soon.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

ive ridden plenty of two strokes and i never said you cant keep the front end down on them, but when your in aburm your usally out of the powerband where on a four stroke the power is there. you weigh the 250f's against the 2stroke 125s.. same with the 450/250 .. 250f and 250 two stroke are not in the same class .. dur.

what are you talking about i was responding to hotrex saying the 2 strokes were lighter. of course the 125 is gonna be ligter than the 250 and the 450 is gonna be heavier than the 250 theres a lot of diference in displacement.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

rode my friends cr450f yesterday and u get so much more arm pump trying to keep it on the ground haha.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

all i gotta say is yz450f sick ------ bike

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

For 1 thing "4 strokes" are junk and if you want to best out of power you need to change the top end every 55-65hours and "2 strokes" u can change them 100- however many hours you want and they will still run sweet. so basicly four strokes suck balls and 2 strokes are the best!! so stfu nazi ;)

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

well look whos 2 stroke didnt run today and look at the 4 stroke which ran you are owned but o well it sucked cyuz we didnt get to ride

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

o wow a four stroke would of done the same a little sand got into the carbrator and the floats will stick.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

stfu you nubs.

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

u know what u stfu u cock sucking son of a bitch u go ---- your four stroke girl somewhere else bitch

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

actually you have no ------- idea what you are talkign about, the service life of a 2 stroke top end for max performance is change every 8 hrs.

a new 4 stroke on the other hand , needs a top end overhaul every 15-20 hrs.

you sir, are a ------- know nothing loser, kill yourself

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
 

sry pudge but you have been owned lolz and i dont think you have seen hotrex you it isnt a good idea to say anything back

Re: favorite brands *dirtbikes*
