Answer 1

well i ride dirt bikes. 2smokers have more up keep . but are cheeper to buy and fix (well with dirtbikes). 4 strokes are not as cheep to fixs.

Answer 2

The answer depends on you.
If you drain carb after each ride, do regular maintenance like change oil, filter and plug, both bikes will last a long time.
Don't do anything and you are screwed with either motor.
Go for the bike that you can get the best deal.
Buy a manual.
Now go have a beer and ponder your choice of machinery.

Answer 3

Two school of thought here less moving parts fireing twice as fast or cams valves and torque? YAMAHA QUAD IS NOT FAST ENOUGH? Or something more durable?

Answer 4

Two cycle engines have less moving parts to go bad or need adjusting. (no cam, lifters, valves, timing chain, push rods, )
However, they tend to last half as long over time.

Four cycle engines need more work, but last twice as long.

Answer 5

4 cycle less problems
