Jordan, just to enlighten you a bit.. 4-strokes of equivalent engine size <b>DO NOT</b> have more torque! I assure you that a YZ-250F does not have as much torque as a YZ-250 2-stroke and the 250f is also down on horse power. The YZ-250 2-stroke has 10 more HP than the yz-250f! You said it right in your second paragraph that 2-strokes are mad powerful screamin' machines and they have brutal acceleration to say the least! In your first paragraph you mention that the 4-stroke has twice the fuel economy and that just may be true, however I would rather spend a little more money on the cost of fuel than have to spend $800.00 + to do a total rebuild on a 4-stroke after the engine blows after three or four weekends of racing! You say 4-strokes are perfect for newer dirt bike riders in which case I might agree if that new rider is about 5 or 6 years old. But if they are older they should learn on a screamin 2-stroke so as they don't become lazy and careless from riding a small, weak and forgiving 4-stroke!
