The ONLY reason people were winning races with them is because they allowed a 450cc 4T to race against a 250cc 2T.

Thankfully, they've recalled those rules for amateur racing and stopped letting the 450's run in the 250 2T class. The 2T are very popular in amateur racing because they cost a whole hell of a lot less to maintain than a modern 4T.

In Enduro racing, where you can ride any size bike you want, 2T's have always - and continue to be - the favorite bike to race on. Go watch and enduro some time and you'll see 1/2 the bikes split up between KTM 200 and 300 2T's with the rest of the field being a mixture of everything else.



All that said, I'd still take a 4T with electric start for a plunk around trail bike

250 2T are still the bike of choice for FMX even though the weights of the 450 4T and the 250 2T are pretty damn close. You can't beat the powerband of a 2T motor. For trail riding and putting around a 4T is the way to go though. I can go nearly double the distance on my 4T than I could on my 2T.

Tomorrow, bitch. It's cold, and I got a good wood fire going. Sucks buying a bike in the frozen rain. I'm still drying out.

Tomorrow, it's gonna be mid 40s. I get to play

Tomorrow, promise.

I just went out for firewood, and it's raining cats and dogs, and near freezing - I ain't opening the trailer now.

Damn...I forgot to ask...

1) The pattern (it's 4 gears, I'm assuming one down, 3 up)
2) If it's mix or injection
