Four Vs two stroke is a pointless debate as their are rarely any clear cut winners.

However there is the simple fact that four strokes rarely survive crashes as well as two strokes. This one factor alone makes the use of a four stroke for someone brand new an exceedingly poor investment.

I realize the original poster is somewhere above that level However how far? I,ve no idea and only he can answer that question. So if you are comfortable with the fact that in many crashes your financial potential for loss is even greater then great go ahead and start the required new learning curve.
