Megan Griffiths: Should you buy a two stroke or a four stroke?

I agree. Buy one of each! If you can't afford both, get the cheaper one that is easier to maintain. That would be the 2 stroke :) Most guys won't have to worry about jetting after they get it dialed in once.

"EVERYONE BUY TWO BIKES!" Well said

A few things I'd add: -4 Strokes are a lot harder to start when you stall them while riding. (A lot of people buy the "hot start" to help) -If you plan to cruise, a 2 stroke is not ideal. Staying at a constant rpm is not something it like to do, you are either decelerating or accelerating. There isn't really a middle option. -I recommend 4 strokes to beginners so they can get used to riding with the predictable response you talked about. I've had many friends flip my old kx85 because they hit the power band WOT and went over board. That's not going to happen on a 4 stroke. -You forgot to say with 2 strokes the piston fires every time it goes up! with the 4 stroke it's every other time. That's a big reason why you have more power in the 2 stroke. With a 4 stroke it's "1 stroke for power, 3 strokes to wear the engine out" XD That's about all I can think of at the moment

i'm going to show this video to my girl, so she can stop asking me why i need two bikes. lol

Once you ride a 2 stroke you'll stay addicted to the Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang.

2 stroke for the dirt' 4 stroke for the street!!

Easy, if you have to ask the question your not ready for a 2 stroke.

i did have both.but now just run two stroke way more fun and cheaper to fits.

I like them both. I just purchased a 450 four stroke and I gotta tell you, this thing is a blast. Gobs of power and sounds awesome. I will probably buy a 300 two stroke after a few years just to go back to an ultra light bike. Great vid, Megan you did a nice job... very professional.

Failed to mention that 2 strokes are more stall resistant at low RPMs and that 2 strokes are given a displacement disadvantage in many racing formats.

I'd take 4 strokes for the trails cause of the low end power it really helps on the tough parts of the trails and when u need to go slow and easy and I'd take 2strokes for the track because they make a lot of power and just do really well on the track where u need speed and power right there but in the woods 2strokes do get a little harder to manage than 4strokes but personally I prefer 2 strokes but am still a big fan of 4strokes basicaly all bikes are great dont discriminate . 😂

One thing I think you should've mentioned is that when it comes to any slow and technical riding when there's not a lot of air moving through, the 4 strokes will start to overheat way quicker than any 2 stroke. Very well done video and very informative :).

Very informative, thanks for this comparison!

My dream girl, good looking and can fix my bike!!!

couldn,t be more clear!well done.

Ur absolutely right having one of each would be best thing, to take advantage of different riding conditions and to have the most fun possible !

2 stroke is my go to bike it's a 2 in 1. Haul ass and kills mosquitos in the woods.

Forgot to mention that a 2 stroke always sounds better when revved up

Thanks for the video. I've been trying to find a good video like this.

Thanks for making this it has helped me out so much
