[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 1467306, member: 16119"] Another way of putting that (what you heard) is: " I can be a lazy on a 4-stroke " Which would be true. It's also true that if you are being lazy on a 2-stroke, especially a 125, there won't be much bottom. On the other hand, there is nothing like the sound (and feel) of a 2T on the pipe! They are certainly two different animals. Keep in mind, there are MANY commenting on forums these days that have never ridden anything but a 4-stroke ... this is a case where you might want to listen to the old guys too ... we've ridden and raced both, lol. This much is sure... a 2-stroke is a lot more exciting than riding around on a "couch". Truth is, 4-strokes are great. But when they break, man it's a big deal. Normal maintenance is a lot more involved and if you're buying a used one, how will you know if the previous owner maintained it as he/she should have? They are a lot more complicated with a lot more that can go wrong. On the other hand, a 2T is about as simple as it gets. New top ends are cheap and you can easily do it yourself... I could go on and on (and usually do) but it's getting late. At the end of the day, buy the best bike you can with the budget you have. Have someone that knows what they are looking at go with you. Here's a video that covers some of the[B] basics[/B] of what to look for: And BTW, welcome to DRN.
