I think the factories should offer 250 2 strokes like they do for bikes. I think it would attract more attention and riders to the sport. Plus, it would give the 450's some competition. I dont see why only dirtbikes should have em', plus it could bring some attention to smaller factories. And what about us die hard 2 stroke fans... will we have to ride machines from the 80's the rest of our lives? YZ250 RM250 CR250 KX250..... What do you guys think?

it's no longer "cool" to run the two strokes. We have had the new two strokes on our sales floor for a long time. 450's are outselling 250's 25 : 1. It sucks. I wish I still had my old ATC 250r. that was alot more fun to ride than my 450 is.

It'll also cost ya about 15 grand to build one from the frame up. That's on the cheap side.
