2 stroke vs 4 stroke

Motor Boys · #51 (**permalink**) 11-06-2009, 11:58 AM

I am a 2 stroke guy, but I just recently picked up a bulk of 4 strokes and am about to take my first look at these engines. I am hoping for a quieter ride with not much difference in power but I gotta tell ya this engine is going to have to blow me away to make me drop my 4 motorbikes with 2 strokes in em!

erp - thatsa 49er, my bad

(it IS however an oil-injected 5 speed, they ROCK! TB they only imported them for one year - 1982)

For the money yer prolly best off with a HT from ThatsDax and a shift kit from Sick Bike Parts... you could hunt up a Morini, they're Italian not Japanese - but to my knowledge they're the best motor out there for what you've described *shrug*

Actually TBH I don't know of a good source, I only know the Morini through reputation - Easy Rider & Santa Cruz Scooter Works used one for this: New Full Suspension SCSW BoXer! as an example.

I've got the el'cheapo HT kit myself and actually I'm quite happy with it, much to my surprise lol I like the thought of havin' quality like that - I'm reluctant to kick the dough

Im a 2 stroke man all the way....If I wanted to ride a minibike around I would get a 4 stroke....Man they are ugly....I seen a 4 stroke dax bike up close and it was a center frame mount and he did a custom install to make it look better and it was still ugly(guy did a bang up job) and I still hated it....
Was cool to see one in person for the first time though....
2 strokes look like a old school motor cycle if set up right(cruiser frame type)....Personally I dont like any engine on a mountain bike,just looks tacky if you ask me.....Hope I didnt offend any of our 2 stroke members with a mountain bike....

I have my motor on a mountain bike and I am not offended in the least John. You must have a very keen sense about what looks good or not so good. If you are nor curently into fashion there is much money to be had in that field.

Hopefully no offense.
