2-Stroke vs 4-Stroke owners
I personally think 2-strokes rule. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The very best high performance 4-stroke 450s can hang, but basically all the other 4-strokers out there are pretty lazy compared to the glory days 2-strokes of the '80s, in spite of their age. I just think 2-strokes are way more exciting to ride, to the point of being a bit scary, but that's what makes them fun and a basic exhaust mods brings huge HP. And besides, 2-strokes sound so evil!!
If the major companies would invest more in developing the 2-strokes, I think they could still be on top, but they are doing everything they can to neglect them now for the 4-strokes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I think it would be awesome to see a 2-stroke engine in a car (it has been tested in prototypes, Toyota once made a test-mule Supra with a 2-stroke Inline-6!! Imagine how fast that could be), but emissions problems will probably keep that from ever happening, plus of course, the durability issue.

It sure is easy to say someone is wrong, but I don't see you listing any examples. How about you back up your statment with some examples?
4 strokes simply put out a lot more low end torque than two strokes, which is what is needed to pull heavy loads. A two stroke trying to do that same job would probably burn out it's clutch trying to stay in it's power band. Go do some homework yourself before you start making personal attacks.
