My thoughts exactly....... the 4rt is a really good bike although it does feel a tad heavy & lacks the instant kick..... people who can get the best out of the 4rt would probably disagree but I'm afraid thats the way I feel. Sevicing the 2stroke is by far much easier. I sold my 2stroke prior to getting the 4rt after riding it for a few weeks I was wanting the buzz of the 2stroker back! Anybody I talk to is telling me to steer well clear of the Gas Gas's....... don't know what to do as I never owned one.
