2 stroke 4x4's
I would of thought there would already be discussion on this topic, but I can't find much info. My question is, what were the different 2 stroke 4 wheel drive sport quads available? Also, how does each of their reliability/fun factor compare to the suzuki quadzilla and 2 stroke honda 250r's? I'm in the market and these are the quads I'm considering.

There were the Polaris Xplorer 250 and 400 which were 2 strokes. I had a 250cc Xplorer 4x4 that maybe did 42 mph on the top end. They also made a 400 2 stroke Scrambler that really moved. If I remember right they even put the 250 2 stroke in their 6x6 at one point. Don't know of any 4x4s beyond these.

The Scrambler 400 was really the one and only 2 stroke sporty ATV ever made, but if you really looked at that ATV it was basically a 400 Explorer without racks. low range.
and sportier plastic

Just like the Can Am Renegade and Outlanders,take the plastics and bumpers and rakes off both and you can,t tell them apart.

No real avantage to a two stroke anylonger. The 4 stroke 500 Renagade 4x4 would fly by a 2 stroke 400 Scrambler 4x4 nowadays if they ever raced. Even a 500 Outlander Utility would.
No 4x4 is really a sport ATV but the older Yamaha 350 4x4 Wolverine is still the lightest 4x4 ATV ever made and it even had racks.

in addition to what moose and tlc mentioned-
I grew up on 2-stroke bikes. they were pretty high maintenance and tempermental.
personally- I would never venture the distance I do on my 4 stroke 4x4 - on a 2 stroke atv.
Too many bad memories of pushing my bike to the truck to replace the plug or get more 2 cycle oil- they got such poor milage also.
I wouldn't feel confident putting a 2 stroke atv through the swamps and punishment that I put my 4 stroke through.
Not saying people don't do it- but I wouldn't.
today's 4stroke atv motors are unreal! can-am's rotax motor is a flipping power house- along with the other brand name 4 stroke motors.

2 strokes
I was able to test drive both a quadzilla and a scrambler this weekend and out of the two, I liked the scrambler better. I can not think of a situation where I would be able to get up to its potential 80 mph!. The scrambler is fast enough for me and it even has 4wd. Getting a two stroke is just a novelty item for me since they don't make them anymore.

never heard of a scrambler that can go 80 mph...
would like to know who got it that fast- and who was clocking them because it does not have any mph gage.
I have an 08 scrambler 500 and it does not go near 80mph
