I think a big part of the appeal of a four-stroke is that they're extremely durable. The four-stroke motor can perform at a high level for much longer than a two-stroke can. The performance is high and very consistent. And not only that, they're generally easier to maintain, including the fact that you don't even need to mix oil with the gas. Two-strokes certainly have their advantages as well, but they've no doubt been dealt a severe hand with the success of the four-strokes. And if their demand continues to go down, we could certainly see them become obsolete in the future.

I believe 2st.With direct inj.and light wt.May have virtues on the basis's theirs less reciprocating mass and therefore higher mpg's potential.
The highbreads would really benefit from these virtues.They may have a bright future (you read it here first)

I think its time for a Can-Am CCS class!  Turbo's, superchargers, bored out engines, multiple engines, Huge wings, Intakes sticking out the top of the tank etc....

You know Charlie? I work with him (at least till he got laid off) and his brother Steve.

As far as the topic at hand, you can petition for a new class but you will need to show the guys at the top that there is a market for this spec class. I'm not sure what a UJM is but I have an awful lot of fun running my SV so I'm not sure I want to know either (Please keep in mind that everyone has different tastes, if we all liked the same thing the world would be a very boring place, and while you like the 450 thumper I like the SV but there are just too many bikes to have a spec class for all of them so we compromise). Since it is impossible to create a class for every bike most riders get what they like based on existing classes. As far as your motard idea, it is very competitive in the Ultralight Weight class along with the FZRs and some Ducs. You also have the world of Super Motard to play in as well. If the 2 strokes do indeed disappear soon then that class could be eliminated and something new created to replace it but until then the class structure is pretty full up right now.

Yep, Charlie is a real nice guy.  He went to school to get an electrical engineering degree.  I believe that he has graduated.

Done and tried.  Methanol GSXR1100's, 500cc GP bikes, 250 GP bikes with Nitrous, turbo bikes.  Was called Formula USA, started at Willow Springs, then bought and moved to WERA, and then independent.  CCE got it when it bought SFX which recently acquired CCS at the end of 1999.

Where can I get the plastic?

Yeah, Steve is getting some kind of degree in financial stuff, not sure what exactly. He's thinking about coming back to the race track just for a little fun once he gets done with school. Small world.
