WHO WANTS 2strokes back??
hes right you ride to have fun and anyways it doesn't matter what you want to do your not going to bring back 2stroke and be our hero and have us carry you around on a golden throne with a diamond studded crown. Their Not Coming Back. besides gas gas. So if you really want them like me switch to the bikes but also keep your current quad also like me.

i just will never want to be slowed down to 4 stroke speed. 2 strokes are the way to go if you want speed..i still race my Lt to this day and i've yet to see a compareable 4 stroke even come close to keeping up with it..

Rappy.Second...If you dump 2 grand into a shee, it is good for NOTHING but going in a straight line...Those are the guys who truck their bikes to the hill and truck em back to camp...oh what fun. I like to RIDE my quad. It dunes all day long, smokes plenty of BUILT shees, then takes me back home. I've had that build with over 620 hill passes and over 250 striaght line passes and aint even checked my plug yet. It runs ALL day on a tank of good ol 87 octane pump gas and all I have to do is push a button to make it start. Oh and I can go backwards too. I never have to let it COOL down, cause my radiator keeps it at the right temp all day...Anyways...My point on the shees is Yes they will be around for a LONG time...However the places to ride them will be limited more and more as time goes on....It all boils down to preferance. I have friends who have shees and my brother still has his Honda 250r quad...I ride them and I don't like them. It is just my opinion. They are noisy and stinky. I will say though that the good part about the shee is it's a YAMAHA. It was the bike that took them over the top when every other builder sucked out. It was a great quad for 20 some years and will be around for 20 more.

i like the two strokes...lots of spunk...I think it'd be sweet if they brought them all back! like the tecate 4, quadzilla, and 250r and keep the banshee..Those quads have so much potential. But IMO if the laws dont get to harsh a few years will go by and the 4 strokes will rule..then b4 u know it some1 will show up on a two stroke and start killing ppl again the quad will be realized and i think the manufacturers could start it up again..Slim chance but it'd be sweet...i just hate ridin with all my friends cuz im like the only one with the 4 and i never know if thats my engine i smell...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

1985 was the first, and most powerful, year of the CR500. Honda mellowed it out each year after that because the '85 was such a beast that most people could not ride it. I owned an '85 CR500, and remember finishing every desert race feeling like a limp dish rag that had been drug behind the bike for the last fifty miles. And I remember winning my first desert race, on my very first race on a new '87 CR500 that I replaced the '85 CR500 with. The '87 was soooo much easier to ride that it didn't beat you to death at all. I had obviously gone faster on the '87, yet felt like I could have raced the entire hundred miles over again. Anyway, ... nice collection of bikes you have there. I wonder how the torque of your CR500 would compare to my KTM 525 MXC?

this seemed to have turned into the classic two stroke verse 4 stroke debate. its like the parking area of any local riding area.
bombadier could easily bring back 2 stroke atv's so could polaris and so could yamaha. The market has just shifted the utility scene has mushroomed.
personally if I had to chose one it would be a 2 stroke , I enjoy working on engines and tuning. If I was practical It would be a 4 stroke as the engines seem to be more versatile.

I think for the YZ's there replacing the 125 with the 250f, and the 250 with the 450f. And for the 80 class i have zero clue what there planning on doing with that. Probably a 100f lol. That sure shows that the higher 4-stroke mot could only keep up with a smaller 2 strok. sad huh? I have a CR250 along with a modded blaster. (just bought the cr yesturday) and for them, they will forever last.
