i was joking, you'll never see me riding a thumper.
i'd rather re-build the top end on my 2 stroke in my garage with a butter knife than have a 4 stroke blow up and have to take it to a shop and drop $2k into it just to ride it again lol.
and nothing smells/sounds better than a pre-mix burnin' 2 stroke
My yz250f never blew up, never did anything, perfect everyride for 5 years.
Its called preventative maintnence, 250f was the best bike ive ever had.
