I thought they would've done it sooner, since it was 2002 when they went from the 500cc 2's to the 1000cc 4's.

I would like it to go to 400cc four strokes. Not that much difference from 600 to 800cc.

If they follow the trend with mx bikes, 250 2-stroke will become 450 4-stroke and 125 2-stroke will become 250 4-stroke.

A shame if you ask me. But then, like most on this board I grew up with the smell of 2 strokes. They are fun to work on and ride.

When I took riders school to get my racing license, it was 90+ degrees and I was stuck behind a guy on a TZ250 all day for all of the drills on the skidpad. It's one thing to be on one, but, being stuck behind one ain't so fun.
