So whats the best route for people like me that want to be able to go out on the weekend and throw a roost on a big bore 500 in 15-20 years from now? I try to plan ahead. Will there be parts for the kx or do I need to wait a few years and find a goodused 2004 kx and have a parts bike or something.

And is the four stroke craze really from EPA or something else? I mean the actaul motocross racing community is insignificant compared to gas hog driving SUV/dualie driving peeps. I figure they wouldnt care for a few cubic feet of bellray to fill the skies every once in a while. you got tons of chainsaws/weedeaters and the like running all the time.

Ill have to admit it was pretty awesome to see doug henry kick ass on that four stroke back in like 98 i think it was. What was that race?..It was las vegas or something and the track was muddy and he was running circles around those chainsaws AND HIS BIKE WAS BLOWING SMOKE MORE THAN THE 2 STROKES;))))
[might be part of the reason he won since he seemed to really smoke screen the competitors]

But all that still isnt a reason to ban 2 strokes or phase em out. Whatever happened to open class races? just not enuf interest?

what are the desert racers going to use now?

And I want one of those tshirts that say 'forget the whales save the 2 strokes' ;)

20 years is a ways a-way,so who knows what will be going on,hybrid bikes,battery powered or soler?EPA picks on us because were easy prey and there friends the tree huggin hippies that hate us!Doug's first win on the 400 was vegas,but it was Hangtown that he laid down a smoke screen,the anouncer said "looks like it smokes like a chevy on it's last legs!",(hey I love chevys!) As far as the open class you can thank Yamaha and then Suzuki for killing the big bike class,they couldnt build a competitve bike so they got the AMA to drop the class! Poor sports! As far as desert racing that will be interesting to see if some privateer on a KX500 smokes the factory guy's 4-strokes!

:idea: I think marketing has something to do with it. To get more people noticing the sport the factories will build a new breed of machine that will be competetive, obviously trendy,and last but not least,more expensive for the end user. The majority of consumers wait in line to spend their $ on something that they heard was the latest and greatest . 4-strokes are a  big buzz in the motocross & GP bike industry and its making lot's of money .    We dinasour riders know  better though  :D
