If Suzuki got back to making 2 strokes I could really see them having a full blown brand revival

[chuckiejoseph]

you forget the smell of a two stroke is nostalgic to us old timers. It’s the smell of a real bike

[shodbaker]

Switching from the 4 stroke to the 2 stroke was the best decision I ever!! Well informed video bro!!🤝

Last time I came so early, I had to pay child support.

[thebastardchildren]

My dad started his 250 4 stroke at the beach 1 girl out of a group of 12 girls looked I started my 250 2 stroke right after and all 12 broke their neck lookin at me 🤣at that moment I realized the 2 stroke life was the life for me

[briandevore]

Hear the ping see the smoke you just got passed by a 2 stroke !!!

[nbitt]

How did you not mention that sweet two stroke smell! Should be #1!

[billybuzzin]

2 strokes are more funnier’
Dancing with a psycho power hit, it’s the only way to ride!

[chadrides]

I can tell you don’t get off the Mx track much. Two strokes own the woods.

[jessegarrett]

I recently switched to a 2 stroke and I love it! I do more xc riding so I got a 300 XC. It’s lighter and more powerful than my 250

[iyanolagrowgchastanet]

I've been riding only 4 strokes and last month I bought a 2 stroke yamaha 125 and I love the feeling ❤❤❤

[noah_]

i’m actually about to buy a 125 2 stroke

[tkwood]

2 strokes rule! However, they are getting somewhat more expensive depending on what you buy because they are getting snatched up by collectors. Great job Cody! 2 stroke Coaches Challenge race would be good!

[BLSdarrin]

Not seeing less and less people on 2 strokes, maybe at the track, but cross country / gncc 2 strokes are everywhere

I just sold my crf250r and ktm 450sxf to buy my dream bike a 99 cr250r yesterday and i can't wait to get on a 2 smoker soon 😎

[thilofrisch]

Love my KTM 125 sx and 250 sx !!!! Rippin soil and spittin oil

Personally, I like the "dancing with the bike" feel, I feel that it makes me a better rider since this is harder to learn and you also turn peoples heads when you fly by...

Two major things happened during the MX sport in the USA, and both drastically increased bike prices, because they were both intrusions on the free market of MX.
1) The 1986 production rule, only in the USA. The FIM (only in Europe at the time, but was always the boss of the AMA), was sick of USA winning the MXofN since 1981, so they got Yamaha to drop their works bikes in 1985, (again, only for the USA, Not Europe), and Yamaha was the leverage to have the production rule put in place, ---for the USA only. A 1984 YZ250 costs about $1, 400, (already had 12" of wheel travel with up-side down forks breaking out, exhaust power valves, water cooling, disk brakes, single shock linkage rear suspension, and my 2019 YZ250 is about the same with a aluminum frame.), and a 1988 CR250 costs $3, 200 new. The price doubled in 2 years, because of the production rule.
2) The 4-strokes were not a free market idea, but an idea pushed on the industry, through the FIM/AMA, by environmental groups and government groups, (far from free market), and the price doubled again. Yamaha was the first to race one with Doug Henry on the pegs in 1997.

Both times, Yamaha was at the tip of the spear, and I find it ironic that Yamaha is the only Japanese manufacture still making a 125 and 250cc 2-stroke. Wanna bet the cost of a new YZ250 2-stroke is really $6, 500, ($7, 500 is what they sell for), and for every YZ 250 sold, $1, 000 of that profit goes into their 4-stroke program?

One thing is for sure. Because of the FIM, the market share has shrunk to 1/10th of the bikes sold in the USA compared to the sales before the 1986 production rule. The FIM/AMA need some good free market competition with objective reasoning, ---or this sport dies eventually.

Missed a few good point out. More fun than any four stroke, bigger smiles than any four stroke so what else do you need?

[zachmanifold]

I've been riding 4-stroke for 12 years and now I'm saving up to buy my first 2-stroke some time. Can't wait!
