What I think And Want

Wow! All this talk about the new genaration of MX bikes is making me mad. Two-smokes are the classic MX bike I'm used to seeing, not four-strokes. They may have made four-strokes for motocross but that does not mean two-strokes should not be allowed anymore. Plus the fun you get out of CR's, KX's, RM's, YZ's and more is way more fun and better to me.
Im only thirteen and just barely bought a 1995 Honda CR250, and it would really make me mad if they stopped making parts for two-strokes or stopped making two-strokes all together. I have heard that four-strokes are better with maintenance but I have also heard the same about two-strokes... what's the deal?
My next door neighbor is the major dirt bike wiz besides me and he has a 1988 Honda CR250. He has had it since then and rides majorly, and has never had to change the top end. He only does regular things like clean the air filter and little important things like that.
All I'm trying to say is that they should keep two-strokes and not let them die. Whether they are eco-friendly or not, let them stay. What about Nascar and huge high octane road rallys, huh, what about those? I am positive that two-stroke dirt bikes are not that bad, considering I own one. Plus I used to own a Honda XR70 and it was ok but I wanted real power and fun so I turned to the only thing I knew was a real MX bike, THE TWO-STROKE! I wanted to do motocross not wimpy picnic trail riding which is what I'm used to seeing four-strokes do! KEEP THE TWO-STROKE!
