    Anyone still ride a 2 Stroke ?

    I'm a bit nervous, it's been a while since I attended a trail ride event but I'm on on a 2 Stroke, am I still welcome ?

    Actually about 4 months and my Bike ( '04 KX500 ) has been sleeping....my question, ....how many 2 strokes are out there now compared to $ strokes and when we us 2 Strokers finally be overwhelmed ?

    Look forward to being along to next ride, maybe the exception rather than the rule.......V-force and the big Gnarly

    ill 2nd that theres still a good percentage of 2 smokers at trails and enduros, all though in the mx scene they are lacking. however id almost say they're more popular now than they were 3 years ago.

    i still ride a 2smoker at trails and several of the other guys on here do too, i think we may even have a higher attendance of 2smoker riders here on the off road area than 4smokers

    yeah man, two strokes are still alive and kicking!

    still heaps of big blue smoke clouds around at trail rides, haha
    My choice is what I choose to do,
    And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

    KX 500? Enjoy mate - you will be in a class of your own. Wish I could get my hands on one!
    Whether you think you can or cant - you will always be right.

    Yeah I actually wondered this before I got back into riding Late last year but I was really surprised how many people still ride them. At MX practise days (harrisville and ardmore) quite often 2T's will be out numbering the 4Ts.

    Defo still loads of em around. Can't beat the 2T's IMO!

    KX500... did someone say monster?

    Then have a look at this thread, read the recon costs and you'll understand why!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
