You can look at the difference in two-stroke vs. four stroke power, by the classes motorcross races run nowdays.
No more open class (once ruled by 2 strokes) 450cc four stroke, or 250cc two stroke = 250 class 250 four stroke, or a 125 two stroke= 125 class 150cc Four Stroke, or 80cc two stroke= 80cc class Two strokes are better in my opinion, and when they solve the emissions problem, by getting rid fo loop-scavenging (with a closed 4 stroke type lower end-two stroke top end, with injector nozzel & exhaust port) the 2 stroke will rule once again. And it won't cost 3,500.00 bucks to repair one when it get 30+ hours on it, like the modern "works" four strikers.

Sounds awesome. I love the look of the triumph modern classics and Kawasaki W650 and i saw the RD350 it looked wonderful and it gets a couple of shining reviews from people who own them. Can you still get parts for them? how expensive is two-stroke oil?

Just remember, you're buying a 30 year old motorcycle so don't plan any Iron Butt rides on it.
