Here's the question I posed for my good friend who argues with me about 2 and 4 strokes weekly. I have always said, if the 4 stroke wouldn't have had handicaps, the 4 strokes would have never taken off like they did and the 2 strokes wouldn't have died. He said yes they would have bla bla bla. Same ol same ol about demand etc. So this weekend while arguing I said, Ok, let's take a look at what you say and I say. If it would have been 125 4 stroke and 250 4 stroke from the beginning, and no 450F, would it still be 4 stroke rules. He paused and said, well, and really couldn't answer well. I said it would be about 50/50 in my opinion, and he somewhat agreed. He did mention the manufactures were pushing the 4 strokes with advertisement etc. But I opened his mind up with that question. Sure when compared to the 2 strokes the 450f is the key to their arguments. But when you take that bike out completely, then you get a ....?
The reason I say 50% each is as follows. First, the 4 stroke is better for beginners. The 4 stroke is better for women. The 4 stroke is better for some, in how they race. But on shear power and the better bike, the others would sell. So again, my opinion is 50/50 or somewhere close.
