From her book Kicking Up Dirt: "Modern off-road motorcycle racing is done with either a two stroke engine or a four stroke engine. The four stroke delivers a smooth broad range of power, and the two stroke delivers a snappy, less controllable burst of power. I've never heard either, but I am told the four stroke sounds more like a high performance car engine and the two stroke like a chain saw. The sport is graduating to nearly all four stroke motors, with two strokes still found in amateur ranks, especially on smaller machines raced by children." To me, it seems that she made that statement without really having any riding experience on a full sized two stroke. Perhaps she will find the fun factor in these machines, now that she is spending a little seat time with them.
Thank tou for taking the time to write all that. I wonder how she feels about it now . Is that the 125 or 250?
Here's a piece from Racer X on WP40: http://racerxonline.com/2014/02/03/unsung-hero-weston-peick?vm=r
