curious as to what flavor everyone likes best, two stroke or four stroke?

let the war begin......

No preferance, I'd fall off it even if it ran on diesel !

Now there's an idea.........................

i changed to four stroke 2 years ago and wont change back. Personally so much easier to ride. You cannot say which is best for everyone you gotta just get on one a see how you like it. I will say its totally different and does take time to get used to it.

Have a go, you got nothin to lose, but everything to gain

i changed to four stroke 2 years ago and wont change back.

Changed to 4-Stroke 3 years ago. Scorpa SY175F, then Scorpa SY250F, and now Beta Rev-4T. Likewise, won't be going back.

I'm thinking of switching to a 4 stroke at the end of this year and am torn between Scorpa 250F (my current preference) or Beta Rev 4T. I'm thinking Scorpa for Yamaha reliability, but Beta for size (Yamaha motor looks v tall in Scorpa frame). I'm not really concerned about weight 'cos I only tend to do easy clubman stuff and I defiantely don't do hoppy bobby stuff! What are the 4T's like with regard to regular maintenance compared with 2T's?

Honest answer.

Lot of fun riding a four stroke and I'm a fan, rode the 3.2 Sherco for 2 years, rode the 4rt in two SSDT's and now riding the Scorpa 250F, having said that! price, weight, maintenance and performance in the section, I think the two strokes have the upper hand. Most of us only ride for fun, I know I do, and as I stated above four strokes are a lot of fun.

Somewhat surprized to see you on the Scorpa! Bike seems BIG, but rides like a Cadallac it seems!

What can I say Cope, I couldn't turn down a good deal, after a month on the Scorpa, I tried compare my 250 sherco two stroke, big mistake

Takes half the effort to get the same result, and I know I ride it better, but always get on the four stroke when I go down back for a rev, why ? that's the appeal of the four banger.

The Scorpa is plush, I notice the Scorp rides up stuff while the Sherco seems to kick the back end up more, no complaints about the Scorpa, it does run well but as you say, feels big compared to the 2 stroke, first trial this weekend, so we will see how I compare on results.

For me the 3.2 is my favorite so far, had a couple of test rides on the Beta rev 4, ultra smooth and good at finding traction from nothing, I was able to get on it and feel comfortable right away, would need more time on one though, a couple of test rides don't give a full picture. Mont and Ish just don't seem to get along, no fault of the bike, I just can't ride it well in the sections.

Only Gas Gas left to get their plonker on the market, hope the flat head system works, if it performs as good as it looks, then it will be all the fourstrokes going at it just has they were with the two strokes a few years back.

I would love to see a 200F Scorpa air cooled motor in the 250F frame, I think it would be a good seller.
