As someone who works on engines for my daily bread - give me a 2 stroke anyday,there is just so much ''stuff' on a 4 cyl 4 stroke....more things to go wrong.

You don't want anything to go wrong when you're racing now do you?

Thanks man! I will keep that in mind, thanks for the advise.

actually Ill throw cat in withy ya birdies---Id suggest a 650 V twin.
Why? well stock they put out 65hp for the carbied model and 75 for the injected.
they are all relatively young--all 99-2006 models so the parts are all fairly unworn.
and um look at the national level race results--650 twins leading
and i heard tell some prick on a 650 twin won the auck club champs too

Yes I wonder who that prick was that won the club champs(wink, wink)! The thing is frosty, i dont have enough skill to start of with a 650cc(or the money), so it will have to be a 250 2-stroke or 400. Thanks for your advise.

Don't forget 400 singles. Cheap, light, reliable and FUN with a capitol "F" on tight back country roads.

Why is it people think a 2 stroke revs higher when in fact they don't. May be cos they fire every revolution so they give the impression they are revving higher.
