[QUOTE="nsxxtreme, post: 1338404, member: 68867"] I don't know rich I would politely disagree. More moving parts= more maintenance costs. That is the great thing about two strokes there is less moving parts to wear out. The four stroke pretty much has everything a 2 stroke has plus more. So you still have the same maintance on the general items plus the additional items required to make up a 4 stroke. Timing chain,cam,valve seats, valve guides, valves and misc other parts all of which add to the cost of properly maintaining a bike. And as you said if something does go wrong on a 4 stroke the cost can be really expensive. There is something to be said about having fewer moving parts and a really simple motor. I think they sell the way they do because of the sanctioning of the races. If people really had a choice and the dissplacement in the races was more equalized I think it would be the four stokes collecting dust JMO. Who wouldn't want a lighter and more powerful bike given equal displacement, other then tree huggers that is. [/QUOTE]
