How stupid are we? Don’t answer that. Instead, let’s analyze the facts and, if possible, fix the blame on someone other than ourselves. MXA’s first choice is always the AMA when it comes to looking for a scapegoat, followed by the government, manufacturers, marketing men, and if all else fails—the Eskimos.

What’s the problem? The problem is that somehow we went from racing technologically advanced, cheap and easy-to-maintain two-strokes to a world dominated by complicated, heavy, expensive and impossible-to-work-on four-strokes.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

Imagine that a major manufacturer could build an engine that was eight pounds lighter than the typical powerplant, revved quicker, produced ten more horsepower (per quarter liter), had one-tenth the moving parts, cost less to maintain, and could be rebuilt for a quarter of the price of a modern engine. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Shouldn’t that designer win the Nobel prize?

This five DVD collection of racing action is a must for every two stroke racer, rider and fan. The set contains over 22 hours of racing and interviews from the early history of Supercross.

When this set first arrived in my home, the first DVD was inserted in the player and I was mesmerized. The hours passed so quickly that it was well past 2am before I realized that I needed to be at work in the morning. The racing is superb.

Saturday was the last day of 37th annual Thor Winter National Olympics presented by Pro Circuit.

The infamous sound of the new two stroke Maico will soon be reverberating around Australia with news that the brand is about to make a major come back down under through Australian company Maico Australia.

After several months of contractual negotiations and logistical arrangements through distributors Maico U.K. an exclusive distribution deal will see the complete range of handmade two strokes will be heading for the sunny Gold Coast shores over the next few months.

There is No Stopping the Cardboard Robot KX500

The Cardboard Robot KX500 is the World’s Fastest Dirt Bike! On September 6th, Kevin Kilkenny exited the timed mile at the Bonneville Salt Flats, USA at 130.418 miles per hour. He turned the bike around and rode back across the same stretch of real estate at 132.444 m.p.h. Setting a new record average of 131.431 m.p.h. and raising the AMA National 500cc MPS/P motorcycle speed record nearly ten miles an hour.

Until someone builds a production 4 stroke MX bike that will outpull my 21 year old CR500, I call this 4 stroke revolution a failure.

TM Racing out of Pesaro Italy have been making Race Bikes and Karts for 32 Years. Every racing machine is built to exacting specs. TM builds a limited number of bikes per year using only the best components available. TM Racing is the only company in the world that makes their own Billet aluminum hubs.

I don’t know how I found your site I found it by accident but it’s a great site. I bought my first CR250R because they were cheaper since people were unloading to the 4 stroke garbage. I heard they required more talent to ride and I was up to the challenge.

I had the intention to purchase a 450 in 2 years but after riding my cr250 for 3 years I have no desire to get a four stroke. Everything your saying is right. People who blow off 2 strokes don’t know anything about motorcycles. I know plenty of racers that run 4 strokes but as soon as the race is over they run back to their 2 strokes because they love the bikes.

Some great footage of Josh Hill on his brand new YZ250 Two Stroke. This was shot a few days before Josh injured his shoulder.
