LOL right, which is exactly why the 2stroke has gone the way of the dodo bird in both MX and GP racing... Nobody switches to 2.

4-stroke is where it's at - no stupid premix, no constant motor tinkering, better longevity/reliability, colder starting, etc.The level of suspension is solely up to the buyer/riders intended use. Personally, I wouldn't waste my time on even the RT100, but even my style of trail riding is more aggressive than just riding a fence line. But if it works for you, go for it.
