[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1338408, member: 16241"] If you go back and read what I wrote, you'll see I was talking about difficulty of maintanence not cost. Anyone who has the mechanical ability to [b]properly[/b] maintain a modern two-stroke, can do the same on a modern Japanese four-stroke. Engines that rev to 13,500 will always be more expensive to maintain than lower speed engines, whether it's a 2t or a 4t. Maintenance has always been proportional to rpm. There is nothing new there. More parts and higher rpm at the same basic power levels will always translate to increased costs. If that's a sticking point for you, then by all means avoid the new 4ts. There are plenty of 2ts left out there and Service Honda is adding to the choices all the time. :cool: You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't really seem to hold up in the harsh light of reality. Only a tiny precentage of the MX bikes sold each year ever get used in sanctioned competion. The bulk get ridden by play riders. People buy what they enjoy riding. Currently that happens to be modern four-strokes. Five years from now it may be electric bikes. Once thing seems pretty certain. Fun will drive the sales, not some sanctioning organization's rule book. ;) Nice theory, but the facts seem to disagree with you. [/QUOTE]
