Thats right. You get a star.

Don't forget the smoke pouring out the back. hehe

Could you imagine seeing a modern quad with a 350 cc 2 stroke motor on it and a 10 gallon gas tank?

LOL

It can go back and forth all day. Bottom line is ride what you got. Ride or Die.

The only downfall to a 2-stroke is having to carry and mix fuel? lol
Try NOT having to rebuild anything the entire time you own a quad...its really nice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Then there would be the no smoke thing..
Reliability, longevity of the machine in general..
The fact that my crappy old 4 -strokes get more riding out of the gasoline I put in than any 2-stroke
Then there would be...NOT having to lug separate fuel and oil around with me everywhere I went..


..have you ever owned a quad that didn't sound like a weed-eater?

i have plenty of quads that arent two strokes. Your ignorance is shining brighter then a star in a clear sky. Take care of a 2-stroke and it will last you as long as you own it.

When you break your 4-stroke and i break my 2-stroke lets see who spends more money. For the price it will cost WHEN your 4-stroke breaks i could rebuilt an entire 2-stroke motor from crank to bearings. Your 4-strokes are peices, deal with it.

You guys make the most pathetic excuses to try and hate on 2-strokes. carry oil...blah blah, white smoke...blah blah, fuel milage...blah blah. Lets see the negatives of a 4-stroke...slow, expensive, $ for $ they cant stack up, heavy, expensive internal parts, and they sound like a bloated elephant. But hey, if you want to trade all that instead of carrying a little 32oz. bottle of oil, so be it.

Talk about a pathetic excuse, bloated elephant...where did that bright shining star go to now? LOL

If I had it to do all over again the last quad I would have bought would have been a Banshee, then maybe I wouldn't be in quad debt right now. BUT the next quad I will buy is going to be a Banshee. No reason to lie to myself any more. Everything does have its place and four strokes are great for some things, but if you want to go as ast as possible with a limited amount of funds a 4 stroke is the wrong choice. It sure is fun having one and watching the 2smoke guys wonder why they just got beat by an over priced, over weight, underpowered four stroke.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I believe some people are still in the "glue sniffing stage".
LOL


I've seen more broken banshees then broken 4 stroke quads PUT TOGETHER.


as soon as you mod them they blow the fuggin rods out or some other high dollar repair.


and some are still missing the fact that carrying a 5 gallon jug of fuel around, just to go the same distance as a single tank of gas in a warrior or other 4 stroke, Kinda takes all the fun out of riding! Lets see how well you jump with a friggin 5 gallon jug flopping around on your "No Rack" havin' 2 stroke.

I get the impression that some of the kids making the 2 stroke statements never travel that far from the trailer/home.

Get real.


the world is a big place.

Don't get all defensive lol...I was just responding to the comment you made about carrying fuel being the only downside to a 2-stroke, when that isn't the case at all.
I realize ALL quads have problems at one time or another, and if working on your ATV is something you love to do, then it isn't a problem at all really..

But I love how you brush off all the points people make with 'blah blah'...I believe it makes your ignorance outshine even mine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
And about 4-strokes being too heavy? I think I could go buy a banshee right now, and it would be about 36 pounds HEAVIER than my YFZ..
And I love your comment about the bloated elephant...cuz it makes soo much sense..?

RICKY CARMICHAEL won both races this weekend on a 4-stroke 450 honda. I know they dont sound as cool but if he can do it after being out all year and come out and beat 2-strokes right out of the box.
I know it sucks but that's were we are headed.
