Describe a 2 Stroke in your words.......

[USMC 500]

I had another debate today with a buddy who has never really ridden a 2 smoker and is a 4 stroke fanatic and thinks that 2 strokes are being discontinued because they are "vintage junk".

So I thought I would start a thread for everyone to write down how they explain 2 strokes to their 4 stroke buddies in their own words.

This is how I describe 2 smokers to my 4 stroke buddies and why they are so fun to me.........

Think of the latest sports car that has just rolled off the line......Makes good controllable power, lots of electronics, handles like its on rails, has all the technological goodies, traction control, ABS, power modes and makes alot of people better drivers than they really are, you see them everywhere and nobody cares............This is exactly what the latest 4 strokes are.........

Now think of the 1970 Dodge Charger with the 426 Hemi, or the 1970 Chevelle SuperSport with the 454........Fearsom power, Fearsome power delivery, old style handling, No electronic aids making driver skill 100% responsible for operation of the vehicle, very few and far between so they are attention getters and conversation starters.......This is exactly what 2 smokers are........

Which one of these catagories puts a bigger s**t eating grin on your face when you nail the throttle?!

LOL I think of a 2 stroke as that one girl around 16 to 24 as I was young that was just a screeemer and loved to love you,you know the one that is always in your memories from the past......and the 4t as the one that wants to go for ever hurt you and expect more till she blows.....ahhhh life was good back then but its great now lol got to love the PAST hahaha

I'm never going to be mcgrath or the next ryan villipoto, so why would i worry about riding the best? It's the sport i love and i'm going to ride what makes my pecker stand in the mornings.

The day I start getting paid to ride instead of the other way around i'll let them tell me what to ride/race, even then it's iffy

To me, riding a 4-stroke is like having sex with a condom on. No matter how powerful the 4-stroke is, it just doesn't have that raw feeling of being on the pipe and the awesome surge of a powerband.

yep... agreed..

 i tried to ride 4-stroke, but it feeled like riding an elektro-bike with the sound of an elephant with very very hard pooping problems....  and i missed the powerpunch in the corners.

on an real race bike are only 2 valves. one in the front wheel and the other in the rear wheel... 

no cams, no valves, no problems... 2-strokes are still bikes for the real men. 4 strokes are for ladys...

Ahh thanks Ims Roll! Just passionate about my 2-stroke machine, and always like to put things in the proper perspective!

[Ims Roll]

how about when 4t's are compared to 2T's, they always say "well my 450 whomped on those 250's"
  ...? WTF? 450 to 250? and you feel good about that??
 I would Race my K5 against them 1000 cc streets.
(though due to wheelie problems, might have to change/add some stuff)
 2T, that and the KX250F weighs more then my 500.?
