    I've noticed that it's pretty hard to find a magazine article featuring 2t bikes. Here on CH I noticed the ratio of posts is 2:1 for 4ts and on the KTM forum there are more posts in the 2t column. On the Gas Gas it's about 6:1 for 2ts which is understandable since they are mainly a 2t maker. When I look through the magazine rack at the grocery store I feel fortunate if within a mag I find more than 5 pages dedicated to a 2t topic or model. Is this really the market ratio 5 pages out of 100? :excuseme: I'm not trying to start a 2t vs. 4t argument, we all let our dollars do the talking when we buy a bike. A conspiracy paranoid person would claim that the big 3 Jap bike makers are controlling the media. I just want to find good articles and bike reviews about 2ts without buying and sifting through the 95 pages of 4t. The more I read about 4ts the less I want one. What is your favorite 2t mag?

    New 4 strokes are where the newer more exciting to talk about tech is coming from these days. When DFI 2 strokes become a reality you will see more of them. also 4 strokes are favored like 100-1 over 2 strokes for MX and a lot of mags are socal MX mags.

    I wonder how much of a handicap the DFI 2 strokes will have to give the 4ts to make it "fair"... maybe a 100cc vs a 250? Back when the air was clean and sex was dirty 250 class meant run what you brung as long as it wasn't bigger than 250cc.

    we'll have to "re-train" all the young whipper-snappers to get on board with the "those great NEW 2 stroke" bikes ...
    +1 to what Motosportz said ... hopefully, we'll even see clean enough 2t for STREET use ! Until then, I'll be blastin my bumble-bee lookin RZ350 around town ! It smells good, when it smokes ! legally ,no less ...
