@@drewgolden9951 "Urban Dictionary: braap Term created by dirtbike riders, and motocrorss riders. Often said when everyone would go riding...when riding bicycles, lifting something up, pushing carts...even walking or running. The term grew on and moved to snowmobilers too. BRAAP comes from the noise the two stroke engine produces. Quad riders can use the saying too." I would also add, since its hard to fully comprehend your comment, that only those who have never ridden a 2 stroke, or those who cannot figure out how to actually ride them (as they take a bit more clutch/throttle skill) have anything bad at all to say about riding 2 srokes... jus sayin.

I’m old enough to remember the old big bore Maicos and Bultacos and they were absolute monsters too, - Maico in particular were years ahead of their time. Sitting on their tails when racing meant getting shot blasted with sand, mud, pebbles, rocks and boulders - and the long travel suspension they had (10”, maybe 11 inches, back when CRs and RMs had 7) made sure that back wheel was ALWAYS pressing into the track. Christ, being in your 20s and racing ….. oh the memories.

I always thought four strokes would make great dirt bike engines, - except for the weight, after using nothing but two strokes, they just feel so heavy. That said, back in the REAL olden days, blokes would race Triumph Bonnevilles and Matchless 500s etc (with vaguely knobby tyres) and they weighed about 9,000lbs so your KTM would be a relative featherweight. Enjoy yourself.

Nothing compares to 2 stroke power. Just the way it feels brings goosebumps, and when the power comes on, they are incomparable ! I remember when Yamaha came out with the first four-stroke open class bikes, and everyone was telling me how awesome they were. I knew then that there was no way that they had built a four-stroke engine that could compete with a two-stroke, even if you give the 4 an extra 200cc's. And I was right, they can't keep up.
