More on dirt bikes

Hello, well, im going to write more on dirt bikes.There is alot of differnet types of bikes in America, most bikes are from Japan or, there one major brand from Austria, KTM. there are also brands and compony from China, but nothing big, there have brands that replica and copy otheres. I have a ktm 85 2 stroke, which is a race bike, and really pipy. My next bike is going to be Honda 2 stroke 250. There is either 2 stroke or 4 stroke engines they put in bikes. Four strokes are like car motors and they rev up like a straight line on a graph. A two stroke has a powerband, so when it gets to a certain rev it gains alot of power and acclerates alot faster. i like both, but there are people who only ride one type. National event requires most bikes to be 4 stroke because it has better emmisions, but there is still some 2 strokes are aloud to race, but not nearly as many as 4 strokes. Except for drag racing, where there is alot of 2 strokes. I like Ktm and honda the most, but they are all good.Everything from China is cheapely made so it will break, and its usally hard to get parts for them. Freestylers in the x-games ride 2 strokes, because they are light, they have great accerlerations and easy to manuever in the air. for ridings, such as desert racing, they use large displacement 4 strokes because they can rev up really high, and in the desert, its all about going really fast. Also, there is sand riding, which i do alot of, there, i have to use special paddle tire, and low gearing, because sand robs horsepower from a bike, because the tires are always spinning. I like all kinds of differnt riding.

  1. speaking of "better emmisions," I wonder if you'd find this interesting:
