I mean 500cc 2 strokes against 990 4 strokes? Any CC advantage to the 4 bangers is just an admission that they aren't as good.

a four stroke only fires half as much so fair is fair a four stroke should be twice the size

Fair? Fair? Since when are we talking about fair? Life isn't fair. If yer pig ugly you won't attract the girls.

All I was saying is that the 2 stroke engine is smaller lighter & more powerful. That makes it an excellent choice for a racing motorcycle. Maybe they should run horse races & give the duffers a 1/2 lap head start as its only fair 'cause they're slow.

250cc four stroke for F4 then. As we are self regulating no need to wait for MNZ to change the rule book I will just start building one.

The good new is that Rich's engine might actually be legal

If I can have a water cooled 125 2 stroke then I have no objections ( and I'm older still )
