2's Vs. 4's

Well I guess its time to start the most violent conversation. So which do you feel is the better bike. Personally I love my RM-Z250. Its an amazing bike. Sure I've ridden Two's, but theres no way to explain being able to throw infinite power to the ground in any gear. Here is a review of a yz250f vs. a yz125.

2002 YZ125 vs. 2002 YZ250F - MotorcycleUSA.com

Take a look at the dyno chart on the second page. That is what convinced me to buy a 4. I was so serious about 2's, but after I saw these dynos I couldn't deny the facts about 4's. The 4 stroke has full power almost all through its RPM range and the 2 has a little burst of power and then drops back down to around 10 horsepower. Also the 4 stroke outrevving the 2 stroke amazed me so much and at its maximum RPM's it still has full horsepower. In my opinion being able to have power in any gear and any RPM is awesome. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy 2's but you can't deny the facts. Every company besides Yamaha does not put any effort into their 2 stroke. Honda has also had a long lasting reliable 2, but not too many innovations. All companies work hard on their 4's and soon 4's will be ever more powerful. Oh and for all you out there who like to say, o those 4 strokes are so much heavier. Well my steel frame RM-Z250 rolls in at 204lbs and Yamaha and their YZ125 aluminum framed version are 196lbs. Hmmm... 8lbs, the difference between a full and empty gas tank. Yeah thats right. Finally my favorite argument, IF 2 STROKES ARE SO GOOD THEN WHY DO THE PROS RIDE 4'S????????

Well now that I dealt you all the facts that I can use to prove my point tell me what you think, BUT DONT JUST SAY ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, PROVE IT. And remember don't get ignorant about this, these are just peoples opinions.
