Two Stroke vs. Four Stroke – Let the debate begin

Whenever the debate between two strokes and four strokes begins, proponents on both sides bring up various reasons to defend their position.

In many cases, real facts with proof are ignored, misused or misunderstood. At times, the arguments boil down to hearsay. Some of it  blatant lies.

500cc Two Stroke Annual Meeting – Nunspeet Netherlands

This meeting is the brainchild of Remy Aust. A Dutch racer with a preference for 500cc two strokes. In his collection of bikes are two Honda CR500 motocrossers.

Billy Mac’s Big Day Out

Billy Mackenzie is Britain’s reigning MX1 champion – the 23 year old Scot won his first title in 2007 and brought the number one plate with him to the crack CAS Honda squad for 2008. Completely dominant domestically, the three-time Grand Prix winner was an absolute shoe-in to retain his crown despite missing round five through injury, coming back for another couple of wins at the legendary Foxhill circuit before a big crash running second at the Czech Grand Prix left him to limp through Brampton in a brave effort to salvage points. Heading into the Hawkstone Park finale, a win in the first moto would be enough to clinch it from KTM’s James Noble and, as he did in every round when he started the race fit, Mackenzie made short work of taking the lead, fighting his way past the young Ray Rowson and clearing off for the moto and championship win.
