Different kinds
Two stroke vs four stroke, now that's a competition I would watch. A two stroke is really good at some things and the four stroke is good at other things. For example, a two stroke is going to cost more to run because you have to buy more then just gas. You have to get oil to mix in your gas. Oil is any were from 30 to about 70 bucks, and you have to get two of them. One for your gas and the other you always have to put in the oil like a car. So that comes out to about 60 to 140 bucks to run it. With a four stroke, you just have to get gas, the oil you only have to get once every three months because you do not have to mix it. From past experiences, for one week of riding after school for a couple of hours on my 4 stroke, it would cost me about 10 bucks and that would be for gas. For my bike I have now, It cost me more because I have to pay for oil and gas since I have to mix it. So for one week it cost me about 40 to 80 bucks for gas and oil for the 2 stroke. Another thing about two strokes, they are way more lighter because they have a lighter motor then a four stroke. The two strokes have a quicker acceleration then the four strokes so they are able to get a head start but also hard to control on a small track. With a four stroke they have more torue then speed so they are better on small tracks like supper cross and arena cross. That is why 2 stroke are good for motocross.
What Each Event Is
There are many types of events in the dirt bike world. Some races would include supper cross, motor cross,arena cross, freestyle and high jump endure and trails . The main ones that everyone watches is motocross, supper cross, Arena cross and little bit of freestyle when it is on the x games. They don't really watch endure or trails. The main ones we are going to talk about is supper cross, motocross and arena cross. You might be wondering what each event is, well let me tell you. Supper cross is a race event that happens from January to May, Arena Cross also happens at this time. They are also inside events that take place inside of a football stadium or basketball stadium. The different between the two is supper cross is more of a bigger event. They race on a bigger track then supper cross. Another thing about supper cross is you are consider more of pro and get paid more by your sponsors and arena cross you do not. You can work your way up to supper cross. Motocross is an outdoor event that is during spring and summer. There is about a three week break between supper cross and motocross. Motocross is a big outdoor event that is a combination of people who race supper cross, arena cross and who just race motocross.
This is what a motocross track looks like. This is a big track for a big bike.
What Bike, What Event.
From looking and reading the above, lets talk about what bike would be good for each event. Looking at the supper cross event and the ability of the two stroke bike and four stroke bike. In the supper cross event you could use both bikes because it still big of enough were it's not going to be to hard to control it. Now for the arena cross I would use a four stroke because it is a closed area and with more torque you can make a better line through the jumps sections. For the motocross race, you could use both bikes because it's open making it nice and you can get more speed when you hit the jumps. With the the four stroke, because it has so much power, you can still make it over the big gap jumps.
