An argument that never gets old!!! 2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke

[DemonQuad666]

I'm sure this has been tossed around on here numerous times but with the unveiling of the new KTM fuel injected 2 stroke. Could this be the first step in a come back for my beloved double ding ding machines. Ok lets hear it. Why do you like one or the other??? Myself, I always felt it was the throttle control and Powerband response with the 2 strokes. I know this sounds weird but on a 4 stroke, no matter size or model. I always felt like i was along for the ride instead of in control. I've spent hours on my buds 400EX, even took a new 450r for a spin. before they discontinued them. Blasters, Banshees, and a number of 125's, 250's and even one late 80's Honda XR250R... Results all the same. For me its a comfort and control that im used to with the 2 strokes.... and i love the smell of bean oil... So lets hear it. Im sick of arguing with same two people at work on this issue.

Great topic, moved to This vs That forum. 😁

I prefer 4 strokes because I feel they are more like a car and I'm biased coming from the auto mechanics end of it. Also never liked the oil smell, smoke, and high rev noise of 2 stroke blasters and such. I went from a warrior to a bayou, then kodiak, then king quad, and now a grizzly. I again am biased towards the trail/utility/4 stroke machines. I never really spent enough on a 2 stroke to feel that in control feel but I guess i understand what you say. I'd like to try a fuel injected 2 stroke though...

I'm not into racing and find fourstrokes more leisurely to ride..  Quieter, less critical about revs or gears.. and they go longer before they develop that annoying piston rattle..

4 stroke because 2 stroke is for dirt bikes and weed wackers.
