I buy clapped out 2 strokes just to bring life back to them. It's a hobby over the winter months. Been around 2 strokes since 1978.
Best addiction there is.

I giggled when he said a 2018 as an older bike 😂 I’ve never owned anything that wasn’t 10+ years old

Reason #11
Your sons face the first time he hits the power band on his 15 year old KX 65.
Priceless!!!!

I still have a 2 stroke street bike. I bought new in 1985. It's almost mint. It's a Yamaha RZ500.

You forgot the biggest reason I love 2t over 4t. You can lug a 2t WAY lower than a 4t. I'm a single track trail rider and I can lug my bike below idle and it'll just keep chugging along. Get even close to idle with a 4t and it dies.

2 strokes compress the fuel/oil / air mixture in the crankcase and forces it up the transfer ports into the combustion chamber where the fuel/oil/air mixture gets compressed again before it fires ...we call this effect supercharging...when the piston travels fast enough is when the powerband begins ...the expansion chamber reverses the sound wave from the exhaust fire and blocks the supercharged intake from escaping out the exhaust port ...thats when she comes "on the pipe " and horsepower goes off the charts this is why a four stroke doesn't stand a chance as 4 strokes can only suck bang and blow ..when 2 stroke go braap they are making boost

The worst thing about 2smokes is how inflated prices have gotten because not many new ones are available. My next bike will be a new yz250 if I cat find a decent used bike for a decent price. My last bike was a yz250f and yes I liked it.

[walterdemo]

I like 4 strokes cuz you can always count on them pushing rods through cases so there cheap & great for 2T swaps

[garysavala]

I’m no pro but I have two two strokes in my garage and I couldn’t be happier with them he’ll on wheels forever .

[Michael-nwgm]

Two strokes are cool af so are 4 strokes, most people like both, they both have pros and cons it depends on the situation to most it usually depends on price but what matters most is people are riding and getting into the sport

I remember when Honda released their first CRF250 and 450 4 strokes.
Good friend of mine, since retired, was a Honda and KTM dealer.
I went down to his shop one day and observed several blown motors sitting on the work table. And these bikes had only been.out for a couple months..!!
When I saw that the pistons looked like a hocky puck and those motors had to Rev like hell to make power then I knew those bikes were not ever going to be on my list to own one. And I also thought the engineers that designed those short stroke extremely high RPM joke stroke screamers need their heads examined.
I will stick with my carbed 300 2 stroke. Just keeps going.

First time I rode a "big" 4Stroke was a Suzuki GS500, nice and fast but... The power delivery was so smooth that I immediately thought a 2Stroke was more fun.

[SkylarRace]

I'm %100 a two stroke guy but there's no argument that four strokes put down faster and more consistent lap times on a track. As an amateur just riding in the woods for fun two stroke is the way to go because of ease of maintenance and lower cost of maintenance. I currently own a 23 Husky TE300 TPI (favorite bike i've ever owned) and yes the initial purchase price was expensive but the bike has been just as easy and cheap to maintain as a carb bike (except for the added cost of oil pump and potential sensors). Plus I think riding two strokes is just more fun!

[krispewkrem]

I absolutely love a 4 stroke in terms of dual sport and commuting while being slow to go off road. But only when talking about a WR250R. My valve check is at 27, 000 miles. My bike is a 2008 and they still don’t need to be checked.

A 4 stroke dirt bike is stupid expensive to maintain. A 2 stroke is super simple and relatively cheap to maintain without many special tools or need for a shop.

[mxcollin]

You had me at the smell of 2-stroke exhaust…🥰

[jamescundiff]

I lost my ass on a rm 450 when it dropped a valve. Costed almost $2, 000 because it needed a new head and piston. Going back to 2 strokes.

[Smidge]

you had me at the sound in the intro.. 2 stroke will always be the best and will always win in my eyes. 2 strokes to me are the true riders bike. you can build them yourself at home with ease, tune them for cheaper and customise them so much better!

and there is no better sound and experience then a 2 stroke on full throttle round a track.

[hambone]

2 stroke = Eddie Van Halen. 4 stroke = Stevie Ray Vaughn. Both are amazing, but I wanna ROCK!

[dorianrodriguez]

Love the content just contacted dirt n iron love that guy aswell man wish I could meet you guys grew up watching you guys since I was little little now I’m 22 learned so much through all you guys went ahead and build my garage like dirt n iron love you guys keep up the great content !!!!

Four strokes have ruined racing. They maybe easier to ride and have better traction but that is it. They are more expensive. In the pro ranks easier to ride is worse for the spectators. There are less mistakes which makes for boring races. Also faster means more injuries for the riders. The AMA made the biggest mistake ever when they let 450cc four strokes race against 250cc two strokes. It should be stroke for stroke, but if they did that four strokes would not have taken off.
