pong really dude... four stroke's suck their not good in water and their half the power, inless you get a 450. and on a 2 stroke you dont have to do valve's and they are less to maintain by a long shot.

 well yea i've worked at a smal engine place now for a year and when the four strokes brake they brake bad, ike i got a 2002 kx 250 and i havent had to put a cent into the motor yet and ive had it for 2 year's now.

 you guys cleary dont know alot about dirtbikes haha, why would you drive a dirtbike in the water anyways? waste of time, second of all; if you were driving them through water the 4stroke would clearly be better, you dont get the peak of power in a 2 stroke till your midway through the RPM, there for you have less torque at lowerspeeds, meaning that the 4 stroke would give you more bottom end power in a quicker time frame. also 4 strokes do break, you just dont notice it as the top end is less likely too come out like a 2 stroke would. if you have a 4stroke race bike you should be doing the top end about every 10 hours or so...or your just digging yourself a whole for when the motor does come apart. if you wear a piston out, its more likely to crack/break or come apart, you dont need shavings or chunks of metal in your bottom end. or you could be replacing that aswell

 "harrisonbiker":
are you dumb four stokes in water will f*ck right up because their more sencitive to water (p.s) there is water on trails have you ever heard of a river crossing..
secondly: with a 2 stroke you dont have to be in the power and 24/7 dumby, i got a kx 250 and you never have to be on the power band in water. and pistons shoudent go that fast, ive had my bike for 3 years about 120 hours on it and it still has 130 pounds of pressure in it.. so the fact is if you know what your doing and you know how to sevice your bike after ride's you can make shit last.

 I'd have to say your bike is a beaut. Props man. Sexy as hell. both are great. Liek 2 strokes power bands are wild, but the new 4 strokes all shit too. So its going either way. 2 strokes are cheaper to run and maintain yes, who cares, 4 can be good and clean too. But anyways, PROPS

 4 strokes. if u keep dumping money into them. there nice, but 2 strokes, to me, are the way to go, as long as you dont race and replace piston and rings everyyear then you will be fine

 four strokes are better for motorcross by far way more power out put i know going from a 125 to 250f big difference way more power and alot smoother to ride so two strokes arent better

 you are asking WAY to much, take $2000 of the price and you will have the right pricefir this bike.

 way to much money in the engine is your brain small it cost 50 dollers or less to get valves adjusted and it shouldnt blow up if you consider that lost ur dumb and 4 stroke have way more power

 why would you put race tech suspension on it if your not racing it? racing and just riding on a track give the bike the same amount of abuse

 ahahah you obviously dont no alot about dirt bikes if oyu say 4 strokes suck konamtb14

 ya but you should replace the piston and rings every 15 hours or so, that way you dont need to worry about cracking the piston or scoring the cylinder

 not even 3500 i would give u 3000 for it cuz i can get the 05 crf250r 4 stroke n 4 stroke is the way to go

 and that is for konamtb14

 as long as your not riding too hard you shouldnt have any problems

 4 strokes suck way too much money into the engine. and yamahas are better

 i know alot. and co-op is the exact same thing as work u dont get paid in cash u get paid in school credits.

 ^truedat

 i work at a shop u tool. i know all about bikes
