Hello everyone!
I am looking to purchase my first enduro bike and I would like to ask for some assistance.
I would like to know what would be "safer" to buy, a 2stroke used motorcycle or a 4stroke used motorcycle.
For me, it is not a matter of which one is a better engine. It is mostly cost of maintenance in the long run.
From what I understand 2strokes have less moving parts and are easier and cheaper to repair/maintain.
Therefore, under that assumption it would be wiser to buy a used 2stroke, in case there are issues that are missed in the initial checkup before the buy or arise due to the fact that it is a used motorcycle.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks.
Also below is more info regarding myself:
Skill Level: Beginner/New Rider (offroad) Have been riding bikes since I was 15.
Height & weight: 5'11" / 180cm , 172lbs / 78kg
Usage: Trail riding / enduro riding
Budget: 6000 USD / 5000 EUR
