Isn't Suzuki still making them?

Well I guess that comes down to your own tastes, I think 4 $trokes $ound $hit where as a well muffled well jetted two stroke on the pipe sounds awesome.
I also think 4 $ylinder cars that go "piss churrr...." $ound $hit and I prefer the $ound of a V8. Perhaps it has more to do with volume.

Yeah I agree, factory spec 4T's sound mean and I still like the sound of a stock CRF BUT...
When I hear a nicely tuned 2T it's enough to make me wet my pants. To me it's the sound I grew up hearing and love it.

In regards to injected 2T, I know Yamaha Japan has been working on their injection into the YZ's and expected to be out 2011

Here's a post I prepared earlier . . . it wasn't wheel spinning that time, but "snap" is a great way to discribe how the front came up in fourth.

The difference for me is that the 2T's sound great when their at full noise, but the 4T's sound great all the time, revving, engine braking, even idling.

The problem with the 4T sound is how far it carries . . .

I currently have a 2t - I would nt mind one of each.

**scorry** · 15th August 2008, 07:58

I love 4t, but like riding with 2t just for the smell when you are following them.
nothin like the wheelies you can pull on 4t tho, its just so easy with so much consistant power.

i wouldve said the opposite, the 250F's dont have enough power to do decent wheelies at speed, and the 450s seem to run out of revs too soon, nothing beats cracking a fat wheelie of my CR250R in 5th crusing past everyone on a straight section of a trail

Haha I must agree, I was at the trail blazer with my bro and a couple mates. One on a CRF250, a CR125 and a honda/christini AWD 450 and my CR 250 would just pop the front up so easily in 5th

Can't beat the feeling of passing someone with your front wheel in the air

**WeeHaggis** · 17th August 2008, 10:41

2 Stroke cause i got one, had a 4stroke, but not what i want out of riding. Gotta be honest, i'm new to this game but i love the workout of the 2 stroke, 4 stroke made for lazy riding IMO!

A company in the states are putting together new KX500's and CR500's and putting them into modern frames, they have had really good reviews and If I had the cash for a second bike I would defiantly consider bringing one in just as a play bike.
