I read something last night in a well known Australiasian Dirt Bike magazine that has to be one of the worst pieces I’ve ever read ever in any magazine, the 2 stroke versus 4 stroke comparison.
It is so full of misinformation on both camps it defies logic that anyone with any knowledge proof read it before going to print.

They pitted a 125cc MXer against a 250 4T, and boldly stated this was a fair comparison, even the AMA with the might of the japanese against them have stated this is not a fair comparison of capacity.Apparently the bottom end of a 2T needs replacing at 30-50 hours, and the price of 2t premix will outweigh the oil costs for a Hi-Po screamer 4T, it was an absolute farce.

I smelt the weight of the japanese 4T advertisers behind the whole article.

Are you sure you read it I just did and it says 2t is cheeper and easy to diy maybe you got the shits and didnt make it to the last bit :blink:

Yeah im not a big ADB fan but I did pick up a show bag from the easter show. I read an article in one of the mags in there that had some of the top race team managers stating that the 2T’s were not only cheaper to run and maintain but they also made claims 2T’s are more environmentaly friendly than 4T’s.:ohmy:

yeah but the first paraphrased bits contradicted that final statement, kept saying how much betterer the 4T was on everything, then backtrack against what they had earlier stated, misinformation both ways like they had a foot in both camps Bull, 250V250 woulda been better in all off-road and living with one for a year to gauge the truth, young blokes get their info from this cwap and then we’ve gotta listen to them;) .

typical ADB, swinging both ways

Get real Mr Blue, I thought that you were smarter than that, if you believe the crap written in the reviews I have to rethink my placement of you in regards to tools in the toolshop and their sharpness, Mate this Mag as well as all the others are businesses and they say whatever pays their wages, take a line from Mick….dont let the truth get in the way of a good story…..the only difference with ADB is they dont let the truth get in the way of advertising clients wishes, as far as the young ones go , it falls back to us parents as the adults to show our children right from wrong, you now see the reason mine are on KTM’s(couldn’t help that one):laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Bruce CurtisMember]

No Mr Rat I don’t generally believe any of them, and I don’t generally buy them, just really saddens me to see the way this mag in particular has gone, and the lengths they will go to and depths they will stoop to to waste more ink and paper.
Yeah and mine was also on KTMs, but I never stated they were the cheapest to maintain in a national Ragazine (even though they weren’t bad at all)

Sad day when printed press is less factual than the internet……….

Doode!

I haven’t even read that mag for years! The internets and the honest opinions contained therein has killed the print mags’ reputations as far as I’m concerned! It’s all snake oil sales! Bastards want to make money and good on them if they can get away with it. Trouble is, they won’t get any from me…my money pit’s deep enough thankyou very much!!!:laugh:

I take everything written in the mags with a pinch (albeit a big one) of salt.
