JM I think the real reason that has not been mentioned is most will suggest new folks start out with two strokes in prefereance to the four strokes is simply the fact that they tend to not do as well in crashs as a two stroke.

Some may argue this but crashs do happen on occassion and they are very common with freshly solo'd folks as they expand their horizons. A totaled nice fourstroke hurts more than comparable two stroke.

Well, at least with 4 strokes, you're less likely to get dirt in the engine or bust the carb off in a crash. Don't think I ever totaled an engine in a crash. Maybe because the ground is soft?
