Shoot the messenger. Not because of the message but because of his delivery! It is one thing for the bearer to bring bad news. It is entirely another for the bearer to mis-present them message or to belittle the recipient.
The buffalo analogy just doesn't work. The buffalo died off from over hunting and farming causing elimination of habitat. The gate at my last MX was 80% 2-stroke and the top 4 were 2-stroke. TSM qualified 16th as privateers. Most enduro, harescrambles and other off-road events are dominated by 2-strokes. 4-strokes didn't become dominant because they were superior, they became dominant because of meddling and whoremongering (huh-huh, I like that word). Shoot the messenger.
The rest of the article sounded like a sales pitch and had very little information. There was more solid info in the brochure. Especially with the parts swapping. They could have done that atricle without ever swinging a leg over it. Just slap some stickers and the obligitory sponsor parts and snap some photos to go with what Husqvarna sends withthe bike. Seems like they were just catering to the sponsors rather than being informative.
