Because for people that can't do that stuff themselves have to take it to a shop to have those things checked regularly and that is maintenance and costs money..where as with a 2 stroke there is fu*k all maintenance apart from changing a plug maybe lol

well if you cant do a regular service when they give you a book telling you, thats your own problem!

Haha their is no 2 vs 4 stroke war going on here. Yes they are expensive that why you buy off eBay. It is a lot cheaper mite not be genuine but personally that is everyone to their own. All the four stroke that my mates have always **** up so i don't know about yours but all the ones that i know do ! **** knows and who cares really

Is the design on the shrouds of that bike sticker or factory printed into the plastic? I seen a new KTM and they had no stickers, it was just the guard factory with the design on it...
