@bensmith81253 жыл бұрын
Main benefit would be not overheating, and the weight is usually lower compared to the same displacement 4 stroke.
@jord66583 жыл бұрын
They are very hard to flame out (stall) compared to 4 strokes, they make better usable power down low, and now with modern two strokes and the adjustability of the powervalve the power is very linear and usable compared to the two strokes of the past. No more wild hit of sudden power.

So I bought a 2019 125(I am 18). The thing of it is before this I have never rode a dirt bike. Call me stupid call me smart I idc would like to know your feedback. I just want to know. I am able to run it decently ok but I did pull a wheely yesterday and fell right off the back and I'm sitting here at 2:30 in the morning wondering if I shouldn't have. I know I didn't have my weight over the tank and that is probably why I went down. Just have a fear that I bought to much bike.
@dirtniron3 жыл бұрын
I think you got a good bike to learn on, dont sell it and keep riding. This is how you learn, you need to know what bike is capable of and how to keep it under control to avoid injuries. Its good to build certain respect for the power of the bike, it can bite you if you abuse it.. so just keep riding, take it easy, improve one by one and have tons of fun!
