Glad to hear a voice of sanity on this point :cool: . I'm still hoping that the consumer will apply enough pressure to keep 2-strokes around.Nutty Professor said:There is only one thing stopping Pros from going back to 2 strokes and that is the fact that the FIM have set out to deliberately destroy 2 stroke racing by setting up a bunch of rules that give 2Ts no chance......
WHile your calculation may be correct, it might be a little more valid to look at the 144 as 57.6% of the 250F displacement. With that in mind, a 260 2 stroke would compare better with the 450F's.yz250-effer said:According to my calculations, if they raise the size of a 125 to 144, the equivelant raise for the 250 2str. would be 287ccs. (15% increase in displacement).

To get it passed, contact your AMA Off-Road Congressman and let them know that you want this to be reality.
AMATEUR racing is the life-blood of our sport, let's straighten it out.

100-144cc 2 or 4 stroke(call it 125 if you want)
145-250cc 2 or 4 stroke
251-650cc 2 or 4 stroke
Add a 2-stroke only class
Email the following people with any positive opinion on this and why you feel it is a good idea. They are taking names and bringing it up in the AMA congress this fall for submission:

mbonnell@hughes.net
The quotes are from another board. MXKING is the AMA congressman who wrote the proposal.
