2 stokes have a ton more wheel spin, because they run at a much higer RPM range.
4stokes have a lot more torque and better hook up, they run in the power range in lower RPM's.
as far as reliability, of course a 4 is going to be better off, but new 2 strokes arent that bad in my opinion.
and for easy-to-ride the 4 stoke has it a lil because its not as snappy, and it has much smoother power.
i prefer the snap of a 2 stroke for a dirt bike myself
hope this helped

there has been track testing and racing with 4/2 stroke bikes, and the 450 four strokes always seem to come out on top.........imo 2 stroke dirtbikes are a joke and will not last long at all, ive had bad experience with a few before and i wont be buying another one again, no offense to anyone owning a 2stroke bike but thats just my experience with them!

well with the new YZ 250F you get 2 stroke characteristics with 4 stroke reliability and power

i like the 2 strokes, because they are a little harder to ride. but they have one big advantage over the 4 strokes that i have noticed at the mx races. that is if you go down on the 2 strokes you can usually start them up in a couple of kicks. but the 4 strokes usually take a while to get started back up, even with the hot starts.
