What do you feel is the advantage of a two stroke against a four stroke. what do you feel the disadvantage is besides changing top ends and mixing oil and gas?

One weird question, when your going down a hill on a two stroke, can you let the gears hold you back like a 4 stroke, or will it kinda foul out or something? Just curious

The motor is also more compact, allowing for a lower center of gravity and better weight distribution. Disadvantages would be they tend to have less low end torque and the power curve can be harsh when the engine gets "on the pipe" which can cause problems in low traction or uphill situations.
