I was talking with my chyropractor yesterday and he said that the US gov't was going to ban producton of all two stokes vehicles. I didn't believe him at first, but that went online and what he said is lagit. they say because of pollutants and noise. i know a lot of people that are going to be very pis$ed off. i guess it's the end of an era.

Do you think the resale value a our 2strokes will rise, when the time comes that no 2stroke will be able to be made? I'm holding onto my bansh![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I am not sure if it is definite, but the ban is supposed to be for 2006 model year. The ban is not stopping production, just where they can be used. The plan is to keep them off of public riding areas. Closed course competition such as MX and harescrambles and such are still ok. Go to the AMA website myurl for more info.

its going to happen no doubt.
the end of the gncc last year bill balance was riding a 4 stroke to get use to them. he said a couple more years and everyone will have to ride them so he is getting use to them.

and the 1st race of supercross this year it was mentioned by about 2004 they will be riding 4 strokes too. so i gues i better learn how to tear down a 4 stroke never did one yet always rode 2 strokes bummer.
