Jim and I were at a freshly groomed personal track and after a few hours of riding, the faces of jumps were super rutted.

from you or just everyone?

tigmaster · 04-27-2008, 07:17 PM

Just Jim and I. We would pretty much idle up to a jump and crack the throttle to clear even the biggest jump there.

i dont think i have ever left a comment in this thread. well 4 strokes are better for racing, im not gonna lie about it, they do have more power down low. but any good rider will tell you that 4 strokes arent meant to be bogged down, they should be screaming just like the 2 stroke. and 4s also have more top end than a 2 stroke, but nobody thinks that for some reason... if you are just a weekend rider at your local track and race during the season but dont take it that seriously then you should get a 2 stroke. think about it, when was the last time you lost a race because you didnt have a mighty 4 stroke? i can garantee never. if you lose its because of yourself and not the bike. but if you really take it dead serious and have the money, then power to you on a 4 stroke, thats just what i have to say. oh and tig, 2 strokes teach more riding skills because of where the power is. try riding a 125 and then go jump on a 250 4 stroke, you will be alot faster than just riding the 250 4 stroke by itself

indeed, idk about the 4 stroke top end power though

turtlemann14 · 04-27-2008, 07:45 PM

its true, if your ever riding real high in the rpm you can feel it die off

gscx · 04-27-2008, 07:50 PM

look at the dynos, 4 stokes have more top end

iverbigun · 05-03-2008, 02:16 AM

well it is easier ridin conditions over there in the states i guess we have realy clay ish soil over here when wet very hard to ride ,is yours a sandy soil??,different soil ,most of our top riders come over during our winter months to train .
but yeh persanal preferance is the key.

turtlemann14 · 05-03-2008, 05:54 AM

my soil (if you can even call it that) is clay crap... very slick feels like you are rideing on ice

Europe has bad weather most of the time anyway, its alaways rainy and misty, not good conditions for a dirtbike ride. sorry iverbigun
