You need to be a little more specific on what bike!

What Engine etc...

For example a 2 stroke 50 would use less fuel than a 4 stroke 1000cc Laughing

Hi

Generally a 2 stroke will use more petrol than a 4 stroke.

All the best

The direct injection peugot scooters are pretty good on fuel. But then take a gt750 and you might aswel buy shares in BP.

...but with 2 stroke you get more bang to your buck - they give more power. A 2 stroke 50 has more power than a 4 stroke 50, so its worth it for a small slide in MPG. Also take into consideration that some 2 strokes need an oil/fuel mixture not straight fuel and they will always burn more oil than a 4 stoke regardless of size because of the engine design (no valves etc..)

Of course, that only applies to small capacity bikes.

Not wrong there, i thought the new emission regs killed off high capacity 2 strokes anyway?

Whichever way, you need to factor 2t oil into your fuel bill which bumps it up.

Think most of them managed to do the job of being killed off quite well on their own! Smile
