I found this site earlier today and wasted about an hour bashing nit-wit, know-it-all punks saying that 4 strokes are better than 2 strokes.  The original article is pretty good, but some of the comments are ridiculous!!  There does seem to be way more in favor of the 2 than the 4.  If you want your head to explode, read some of these comments by a bunch of brain-washed (brain-dead?) 15 year olds!!

Yeah, but for every retart saying that he doesn't want to mix gas anymore so that's why he's into 4 strokes, there's another retard saying that his 2000 RM 250 could smoke any 450 out there. There's tards on both sides. I just stay out of those conversations.

lol, the mixing gas complaint is one of pure laziness. Heck, I mix the gas for my truck with outboard TC-W3 2 stroke oil at 500:1 and get 2 mpg to the better as a result. And I don't foul plugs either. :-*

Two-stroke oil in the truck.  That's a win.  Personally, I'd rather mix gas than do a top-end rebuild every 30 hours of riding.  I would think that lazy people would love two-strokes for this reason.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I've seen that site a few times.... and have some issues with the guy that runs it... don't really want to get into it, but that's the reason I've not posted links to that site before.

He has one guy that does some writing for him, I think his name is Tim Hicock... that dude is amazing!!

What I get when I'm reading the comments on the site, is that the guy that owns the site writes a bunch of them. If not he heavily edits them! Try a comparison with any site allowing comments, you will see that discussions go off topic by a huge margin. Then some folks say just something brief, while others write a book.

Then again, maybe it's just me....

Yeah, Tim Hickox (or however it's spelled) is the guy who wrote that big-bad super article (which by my count has now been linked here five times.)  The Future of Two-Strokes article is a real eye-opener, particularly when it comes to Honda.

The Tim Hicock article is great reading.
Just make sure you start at the beginning.
Its a long read.
