my 70cc 2 stroke scooter beats out a incredible 32 HP, it goes over 140km/u

and reaches 100 in 3,6 seconds

i bet ur 4 stroke won't win that!

yea off course 4 stroke save money and run longer, but there not good in torque and power! every normal guy knows that !

does the oil same as 2T??

[losiboy454]

Two strokes have almost twice the power of a equivilant size four stroke because it fires twice as much so the piston will stay at higher rpms under load.

Myth: 4-strokes last longer

Truth: 4-stroke MX bikes last 30-60 hours before needing a major overhaul. 2-strokes will go 200 hours on a top end, then replace the piston and keep going. Performance 2-stroke boat engines are known to go over 6000 hours. Or equivalent to 200,000+ miles in a car with a lead foot.

2T: Lighter, more powerful, more torque, less maintenance, more reliability and now with DI lower emissions and better fuel economy.

I'm an engine builder and have my own company. 4-stroke more reliable is a myth launched by the engine companies. 2-stroke if used good quality oil and good carburator settings it will run forever, just as long or longer than a 4-stroke. 2-strokes got the bad reputation, cause mostly no garage knew how to set them right.

WHat should i get a honda 4 stroke or a ktm 2 stroke???

[fpvshitsonhsv]

Two stroke have their purpose but a 4 stroke will out live a 2 stroke anyday. 2 stroke are great for weed eaters and mowers but ask anyone in the Boat and Motor bike industry that 4 stroke is the way to go. Cleaner ,cheaper ,smoother and 10 times more reliable

When me and my friends were out and drove moped. I where the only one with a 4-stroke engine. And when all the engines were cold. They where faster than me. But when my engine was warm, they didn´t had a chanse.

@squiertom keep it real

@eric0sbob there was no 2001 crf 450. cr500 never really made 65hp,that was a brochure figure

@wapperott Dear wapperott that's because you can't add too much oil for the 4-stroke while oil isn't mixed to the fuel. Oil pump distributes the oil to the right places with pressure and putting too much oil would have just the same result as putting too much water in a cup, the container would just overflow. But if there would occur a leakage of oil in the combustion chamber it would result the same as putting too much oil into the 2-stroke engines fuel tank! And I do apologize my poor english.

@theandy4ever

I don't know if he has 32hp....

But 32hp out of a 70cc is possible. ;)
