What About The Average Man?

My Boss's son races 4 strokes at the local level. It seems like the bike is constantly needing the head removed and a grand worth of work done to the crappy thing. He rides a 250 Kawasaki. The bike cratered in its very first moto. They spent $2500 having it rebuilt and it hasn't made more than 3 to 5 heats since before it cooks the valves. They have a pro engine builder doing the work.





The two-strokers on the other hand; they could get by for nearly a season before it was time to go through it and then maybe a piston and wrist pin bearing.

Yes you can get the same power out of a four stroke as a 2 stroke, but at the cost of reliability. The rich teams can afford it, but it leaves the average man wanting for more.

The average man is now irrelevant. All the big factories care about is huge profits at our (and even their dealerships) expense.
