[QUOTE="BBA, post: 24509, member: 474"] I think it has to do with how a bike (either 2 or 4 stroke) is ridden and maintained. I have a buddy that can kill a modern day 4st engine in a hurry because he rides it at a competive level where it is wfo all the time. With that many moving parts and the thing screaming at a very high rpm for an entire moto it's going to wear quickly. On the other hand I have a buddy with a GasGas 300 smoker that has a "Kazillion" hours on the topend and it still reads positive in a compression test. I know I have an XR650R with almost 11k miles with no issues but my smoker needs rebuilding often but it is because how I ride it. The rebuilds on a modern 4st powerplant is most definetly more costly than the simple little 2t but you do get so much more torque with the 4's along with more usable horsepower. There is good and bad with both of these combustion engines and I think that as long as these little gas/gas-oil powerplants are around there is always going to be the 2/4 war going on between us smelly dirtbikers.:banana: [/QUOTE]
