    No offense bro but your kidding right lol ?? New generation four strokes (XR, DRZ, etc excluded) have plenty of balls, have just as much maintenance if not more than a 2 banger and are dearer to buy and maintain. The price for a four stroke top end rebuild is at least 3 times the price of most 2 strokes also so long term the fours can be quite costly.

    Four strokes are for lazy riders anyway hahaha.

    If you can't tell I'm a little bias towards 2 strokes lol.

    Lmao, I like you, My IT 490 has been sitting in the shed on a stand ready to rumble for the last 15 years, I've just not got the balls to start it anymore :P, but I've still got spares motors and enough parts to kill myself 10 times over if I ever feel the need. I was reading a forum not long ago where some kids with big bore modern 4 strokes were asking what all the fuss was about with the 500cc two strokes and everyone just said, you will never understand until you ride one.

    I can remember being at the motorcross track one days and a big somewhat overweight guy was racing a CR500 against some 250s everytime he came past (ripping half the track into the atmosphere) you could actually feel the ground shake under your feet as if a train was going past

    Amen to that. I have actually dislocated my shoulder twice (old injury) when the power really hits hard. After riding it for a bit it feels like I've been dragged around a paddock by my arms lol.

    I'd love a crack on an ATK Intimidator (700cc 2 smoke).
