When I hear people say two-strokes are banned, it scares me. Not because I believe it (it's obvious bullshit) but because I know so many other people will believe it. I hear people all the time say they've got a bike, then I ask them what kind, they tell me it's a four-stroke, I ask why, and they say that's all they allow. Or they say that no one in the world makes two-strokes anymore, like they're steam engines or something. And what really gets me is that they don't seem outraged by this. They think that someone has simply banged their all-powerful gavel down and declared to the entire world that thou shalt have inferior technology, and they just say, "Oh, that's a drag but whatever." I can only attribute it to being another example of, as George Carlin put it, the large-scale Pussification of the country and the world.
