I guess I should have both?

It’s sort of depends on where and how you ride. A four-stroke has a more linear power band and revs a lot higher than a two-stroke. A two-stroke is pretty fun when it comes on the pipe and it’s always lighter.
The first half of my riding career was all two strokes. I then rode a four stroke bike pretty exclusively. I’ll probably have equal time on both.
You might pick up a two-stroke, load both bikes in the trailer and alternate between the two of them for a year. See which one you like better.
I already miss the CR.
