4 Stroke Edit Meaning

1.

1. 4 stroke runs on straight gas, 2 stroke runs on a mix.

2. 2 strokes would be overall stronger then 4 strokes because in a race theres two classes (125 2stroke - 250 fourstroke) and (250 2 stroke - 450 4 stroke) the four strokes have to double there engine size to compete with 2 strokes.

3. 4 strokes have more useable torque, 2 stroke has a strong kicking powerband.

4. 2strokes all around are cheaper then 4 strokes.

5. 4 strokes are usually bigger.

I've ridden both 2 stroke and four stroke and i'd have to say i like 4 stroke better.
