Wyatt Fry then what the fuck are you running your mouth for

[@skertwheels9421]

What about 05

[@AuMechanic]

Enjoyed the review. "Riding like a 4t", I was just thinking the same thing. 2t is "point and shoot", getting your aim right is the skill of riding them. And the guy who wanted a 4t is probably better off on one. If people ride a 2t like a 4t, they may as well own a 4t.

[@pierceb2105]

Yeah agreed. With the lack of low-end torque, small bore 2T's need to be kept high in the rev range and up in the powerband.

[@AuMechanic]

Its that too, but the art is predicting the power band. Otherwise known as the "point and shoot" method, you are aiming to shoot the bike through an arc on the exit like a missile trajectory. If you overshoot you leave the track, you under shoot it bogs down. If you come out of the corner so fast you almost leave the track you know you got it right. Dirt and road racing the basics are the same, I rode dirt 2t not racing and road raced 2t twins many years ago. The 2t needs to ride out of the turn in a trajectory. 4t can get out with torque but a 2t can exploit that. A light 2t can go under a 4t in to a corner without too much trouble and ride a the arc across the front of a 4t and the 4t looses its edge out of the turn. Once you learn to aim and shoot the 2t the fun starts. Put it this way, using a firearm wouldn't much fun if you couldn't hit the side of a barn with one. Likewise if you cant aim a 2t they are not as much fun to ride.

[@johnnysheridan]

4T are for the lazy-minded!..2T you are so mixh more..'connected'...drove a 4T for like 30secs before..never ridden another ever again,i was depressed after you pass the inital low end torque

[@efecede22]

Random question why do you all are calling 2 and 4 strokes by 2t and 4t? Genuinely interested bc in Spanish we say it that way bc it's 2 tiempos and 4 tiempos

[@asgerhoue7799]

Yeah i had a yz 125... Mine was worked a little.. Geared out.. All renthal everything. Yz 250 carb... No bullshit baddest bike on the block. I couldnt let people ride it because they hear.. Yz125 and didnt show respect.. No buddy it not JUST a 125.. Its a frickin boost Mobil yz 125. It would defin get a wheelie in any gear.. Kinda hat this insane top side.. She would putt around great on tje low end but once u get up top she just screamed. I mean it would literaly throe ya off the back if you werent ready. Every single person i let ride it would wreck it. Faster than any 250 I ever rode. And very light. Awesome bikes. Yz life baby.

[@Lowkey_DeAndre]

7:15 Zach”why would you ever want anything other than that?” Random Dude “uhhhhhh I want a four stroke...” Shut up bro two stroke for life. 💪🏽four strokes are for beginners. Learn how to ride a 250 or something, than you can hop on a 125 after you grow some balls .

[@skrtskrt3429]

You’re gay af

[@jessicacook807]

There is not comparison between a 250f and 125 anymore. At one point there was, but four stroke technology continues to improve where as two stroke is mostly unchanged. My yz250f is super torquy where my rm125 is all top end. My 125 is fun because it is so light, but is basically a track toy. You can barely ride trail with them and tracks with deep ruts are really difficult. I wouldn't have a 125 as my only bike but I ride single track. It's really based on your riding style, weight, and what you ride I wouldn't necessarily categorize either as strictly a beginner bike. 125s are typically the first full sized bike for people though because of their weight

[@Lowkey_DeAndre]

Jessica Cook very valid points it’s all about preference and yeah my yz125 is my first full size bike but I also want a pit bike either an 65 two stroke or 110 four stroke

[@578_]

DeAndre Clarke all the pros must be beginners then lmao gtfo, both bikes have there advantages but 4 strokes will definitely get you a win racing amateur races, like the guy above me said 4 strokes are constantly getting improvements while 2 strokes are unchanged #Moto4lyfe #4strokes

[@578_]

I’ve never been beat by a 2 stroke after I got my 2004 RMZ250 in 2005 racing B class and now I’ve got a kx250f 2017 and she’s a beasts! Fuel injection ftw and still have yet for a 2 stroke to beat me straight up
