[TM DEAN]

No jap bikes

[Charles Owens]

This is a great example of what riders choose with no homologation and cc rules.

[riffraff]

From the information above I think I see 1, maybe 2  4 strokes in the top 20   

[SachsGS]

The writing is on the wall.

[psychward26]

When the racing gets ruff the pros choose TWO STROKES!!!

[2STROKEREVOLUTION]

Only 2 4-strokes. There are 2 350s listed. Everything else is a 250 or 300 2-stroke. Awesome. Next time someone tells you pros choose to ride 4-strokes because they are better, copy and paste this list.

[Suzuki TS250/185]

During this year's industry propaganda basted "Daytona Foopercross", Ricky Carmichael and Chad Reed were both helping to announce the event on TV. Ricky was doing a good job holding the 4 Stroke bullshit line, doing his part for his patrons in the industry.

He said something like, "These new bikes are just incredible... I remember when we all chose to switch to the 4 Strokes...." AT WHICH POINT CHAD REED CUT IN AND SAID- "Well,... actually we were all kind of forced into that..."

[citabjockey]

What? With all those KaToom entries you would think one of those tough guys would have hand the cajones to ride a 380. What is wrong with this picture?

Good for him. As I recall, it was the top FACTORY riders that were the last to switch to 4-strokes.
