Question

Why do freestyle motocross riders ride two stroke motorcycles instead of four strokes?

Answer 1

Quicker on the throttle

Answer 2

They are lighter and easier to move...always a two stroke for me. I have been riding for the past 10 years and I tried a four stroke and never again. When racing it is best to have the two stroke because of the lightness and being able to move it easier.

Answer 3

snappier throttle means better acceleration, they are also lighter

Answer 4

because of the weight and the fact that the engine decompression doesn't stall out the bike when they land...

Answer 5

They are lighter and more maneuverable.

Answer 6

Because four strokes suck

Answer 7

because they got more low end then a four stroke does. in other word it accelerates alot quicker. which is what you need when you only got 50 yards of run way or less. they are also alot lighter then the four strokes. And they sound way cooler.
