I've always preferred to be stroked at least 4 times. 2 strokes, and i'm left frustrated.

Impossible to answer this as both methods have advantages and disadvantages.

2 stroke can produce more power for less cc
But 4 stroke is generally more reliable.

Cost is a factor 2 stk cheaper to produce than 4 stk.

Emmisions are what gubbs 2 strokes.
Purely due to the way the fuel is mixed and the lubrication.

Diesel 2 strokes are hampered by emissions so are not as common now as before. (And they are durty fukin' bastarts to work on.)

this is too broad a question, i recommend you rethink and narrow it down a bit.

unless that is your just asking for a childish answer such as 'ahhh tu strke is da best innit'

if that is the case carry on and wait for the intelligent people to leave then i'm sure in time you will receive your answer

My opinion is that your question is too simplistic, and not in depth enough to hold any interest.

I prefer smaller lighter bikes, so 2 strokes are more fun for me.,

Have to admit being less keen on the image created by the tinny noise, which I like but non-bikers think sounds less powerful.

I'm scared of rebuilds, and not keen on having to fork out for 2stroke.

Having said that, for outright power on fast roads, I'd prefer to be on a 4 stroke.

For learners, 2 stroke is the way to go, as 4 stroke 125's have hardly any power and cant keep up with in town traffic.

Very true. 125's are sluggish and to be quite honest, almost as stupid a restriction as 50's only being allowed to go 30 in this day and age.

My CBR125 was fine in keeping up with traffic. What 4 stroke 125s are you basing this opinion on?

Thumbs Up

Compared with a 2stroke 125, the 4strokes are quite dull Smile

Maybe there are no hills and dual carriage ways near you (in particular a dual carriage way up a hill), but a cbr125 would be pitiful where I live.

A 250 4stroke or 2 stroke 125 is fine.

I live in a town by the sea on top of cliffs. It's extremely hilly where I am, esspecially if you get into the top part of town. And the dual carriageways near me are in the wide open and very high up so the wind really slows you down even when your going downhill..

Living by the sea may affect the performance of any engine due to more dense air mass at sea-level.
This will affect 2 stroke and four stroke equally.


Were you referring to any particular reason seaside/clifftop life affects engine design?

You are the only cnut on bcf that (says they) like me. (may be others out there but too shy to say so.) Laughing

I THINK 4 Strokes are better, usually more reliable (especially comparing the RS125 to the CBR125 for instance). Sound a lot better too.

No, saying i live by the sea was just a fact I was throwing out.

It's just very hilly and damn windy.

And there may be a possibility that I under-gear Laughing

It's nice to learn that you live in a picturesque spot though disadvantaged by undesirable incline.

Two strokes have power-bands.
Not all Power bands are equal though.
