ive heard several rumors that honda is going to come out with a large 2-stroke quad. is there any truth to these rumors or are they just that, rumors.

They are just that.

Honda has made it clear that their focus is on four strokes now.

Here are the facts.

The CR250 just received it's last updated engine this year....The CR125 didn't even get an update......Same with the CR80.

There was a new CRF450 this year.

For 2003 there will be a CRF125,CRF230,and a CRF250.

if Honda isn't focusing on fourstrokes in the dirtbike lineup, there is no way they could be thinking of a two stroke quad.

2006 will be the last model year for two strokes except for those labeled for "closed competition use only". Alot of enduro bikes will be gone because of this, but the manufacturers have seen this coming for a while now. That's the reason there are so many hi-po four strokes out there right now.

The two stroke's days are numbered.

When i'm old and end up in a wheelchair, it will be powered by my 250r motor(i hope my wife will be able to kick it over for me). I don't think I can cope without 2 strokes!

Here's some facts:

EPA says no new 2 strokes to be produced except for closed circuit competition by 2006.

EPA says no 2 strokes by 2011.

!VERY SCARY!
