if you see the motor cross tracks now these days its pretty much designed for the 4 stroke engines
hard packed and long sweep corners
you don't see that much really loose stuff on a circuit anymore
take a CR 500 or a KX 500 to the sand dunes and put a 450 4stroke against it I would bet my money on the CR and KX
(knowing that the comment will be its 50 cc more then the four stroke)
Don't get me wrong here as I do like pretty much any motor ( admitting that Goldwings and Harley's are not so my cup of tea
)
I grew up with the 2 strokes and have incredible fun with these bikes, its a pity that due to some commercial agendas its put in a sorry corner where they don't deserve that.
when it comes to the recreational level of motor riding a 2 stroke is in my opinion still the best bang for your buck.
we are all dreaming that we could do the same as a Valentino Rossi or a Stefan Everts but the fact is we cannot.
I enjoy to see them racing but its not the same thing as riding myself and pushing my limits (any designed for competition bike now these days, the bike will not be a limiting factor for 90% of the buyers) regardless if it is a 2 or a 4 stroke so its just what you like the most in your riding style.
sorry for straying a bit of of the original topic.
