I have been riding two strokes for years. My first being a 1973 RD350 when two strokes were really street legal and four stokes where seldom seen on the streets in Greece. I still ride all my enduro and MX bikes on the street and have never had problems. You have to keep the throttle slightly opened even when going down a long downhill stretch to keep the crankcase primed and never keep it pinned for a long time when jetted for single track enduros, just afew miles is O.K. Look at all the moto GP 125 and 250 bikes screaming for 30 minutes. Really sweet!
