Len, obviously for a street machine 4 strokes are the way to go, but am I the only guy around that is sad to see the 2-strokes in MX fading away?

I just can't get used to going watch a race and hearing the god awful sound these high revving (13,000 rpm +) fourstrokes are making. I do find it humorous when I guy stalls it in a turn on the first lap and then gets lapped before he can get the fire lit again.

I know that these bikes are very light now and have advantages in the traction dept., but it just seems wrong. I feel sorry for the modern racers that have to maintain these things and god help them when they smash a titanium pipe.

Plus it ticks me off that the tree huggers have influenced the manufacturers. Oh well, times are a changin, I will quit *****in now.
