Two strokes that are set up for a big hit in the powerband tend to tire the rider faster. There are motors out there set up for a smoother power delivery that are great on the trails. One example is the 85/6 LT250R. They have decent power across the RPM range right from the factory(i.e., no big hit anywhere) You can set up a Banshee for more low end also, but it takes money to smooth out that hit some. If your engine is jetted correctly, then lower RPM shouldn't be a big problem for a two stroke. Of course, you will still foul plugs quicker than a four stroke, but I wouldn't say low rpms are 'bad' for the engine.

thats the reason i dont like 2 strokes...the power band is in the top end, and u cant be holding the throttle there for very long, thats why 2 stroke owners (No offense!) have to do top end rebuilts quite a bit, 4 strokes on the other hand u can rev the living snot out of and nothing bad will happen...btw i dont recommend WOT on any engine for more than 5-10 seconds

...and also low RPMs for 2-strokes can also result in plug fouling.
