[QUOTE="2Wheels, post: 207069, member: 3804"] Hey the title of this thread didn't say anything about feelings! Sure There are more 4 strokes on the market, simple supply economics there. I do agree with flake about the market turnover of 4strokes people are treating them like disposables, in that, sometimes the value gap between a 2-3 year old bike is the cost of a rebuild so they just sell, and get a new one. Then, someone buys a 3yr old unmaintained bike thinking hey it's [I]almost [/I]new it doesn't need any work done to it and 3 years later puts it up for sale as "runs great" after it starts taking a dozen kicks to light up and 2 dozen hot. THEN another poor sap buys a 6 year old bike that is ready to grenade. Sure 6 years isn't much when it comes to cars and trucks but to 12k rpm racing engines it's a lifetime. Especially when they are revved hard while low on oil and ridden back to the truck a pint shy on fluid because it puked while painting a rock with a worn out kenda. Not being negative, just realistic. honesty and full Disclosure are two very different things. One of my favorites is "I haven't had it very long, and the guy I bought it from did all the stuff to it". :lol: [/QUOTE]
