Heres a test i found on the dirt wheels site, i think youll find it iteresting!
TWO STROKE VS. FOUR STROKE
One of the chief advantages of a two-stroke engine over a four-stroke is the quicker acceleration and more rapid power delivery. The two-stroke powered Scrambler 400 enjoys this advantage over its 500cc four-stroke rival. It hooks up and gets moving quicker than the 500 and has it beat slightly on top-end speed (67 mph vs. 65 mph). We ran both machines side by side for comparison purposes and in most situations, the 400 always had a slight edge over the 500 Scrambler.
It is also usually much easier (and cheaper) to get more of a power increase when you start modifying a two-stroke engine versus a 4-stroke motor. On a two-stroke, you can usually get a large increase in power by simply adding an aftermarket pipe or carb. It is no secret that you have to spend big bucks to extract more performance from a four-stroke, with cams, valves, and carbs increasing the costs dramatically.
Some riders also enjoy the simpler maintenance a two-stroke engine provides. When it comes to replacement items such as pistons and rings, sure, you will have to replace the two-strokes sooner than most four-strokes, but the parts themselves are usually cheaper to purchase and simpler to install.

By the way, thanks Tyson for your knowledgable post. I'm sure that it will help out alot of people who can't decide between the 2 stroke and the 4 stroke.
