Sorry mate, but there's nothing we can do. Google has decided.

how bout we actually ask google?
http://www.google.com/trends?q=two+s...2C+four+stroke

ah, the old useless statistics with no context trick!

from these graphs i conclude the two stroke is less reliable - using the "no news is good news" theorm

who needs statistical significance anyway?

Nice result, great success. Bear in mind "Honda" is also capturing all the searches related to Honda cars, as well as motorcycles, whereas the others aren't as popular in the car industry. Suzuki make cars, but they're not in the same league as Honda. Yamaha make other stuff, like boat engines, guitars, electronic equipment, and Kawasaki make garden tools and stuff; but same thing -- not in the same league as Honda cars, in terms of what people would search for in Google. Still, Honda FTW!

When you enter an internet forum, leave logic at the door.

Weather was pretty damn good up north. It started raining once I got up to the toll gate thing on SH1, though

In Kawakawa (the town with the train track running right through the middle)
