This is from Transworld Motocross “I guarantee that when the outdoors come you won’t find anybody on a two-stroke,” says Hendal. “The unleaded fuel regulation is basically putting the nail in the coffin for two-strokes.” In addition a 250cc 2-stroke should race a 250cc 4-stroke, do the math. KTM 2-strokes are light, simple to maintain yourself, and if they could run the same high octane fuel they would kick your ass in the Idaho mountains, a given, and on the track. It's all about rider ability in real life but it's nice to have a bike that has more power than a 4-stroke, with the same cc's, at every rpm. You guys are a bunch of "geniuses" so I don't care what you say. Al Gore/Obama/tree huggers are slowly getting there way 2-stroke less green (done away with for racing), moved to the 4-stroke (more green), soon no riding on blm land in the western states, then no dirt bikes in the outdoors at all.
