Why we drive FCs
Trending Topics
Because (to most average joes) FDs are too expensive to buy build then just beat up and FBs dont have the aftermarket to back them up. So we have the FC, cheaper than the FD, huge aftermarket compared to the FB, and are more available (for sale) than both.
Also 240s are just like civics... its the easy way out but everyone has one so being original requires a lot of work... show up in an fc and BOOM, originality!

i've always loved 2 stroke bikes when i was younger compared to the laggy less powerful 4 stroke versions with limited flat powerbands. the 4 strokes had much more grunt and throttle response compared to the 2 strokes but the 2 strokes even naturally aspirated felt like they had a turbo attached due to the climbing powerbands which seemed to never stop climbing. i have never ridden a 4 stroke that i was even moderately afraid of, i have ridden many 2 strokes that were so amazingly powerful that you had to leash yourself or the bike would leave without you.
this is a big 2 stroke car, figured i wouldn't change my mind from then 'til now and i haven't. for now i just keep putting bigger turbos on them each time that effect of adrenaline wears off.
i suppose you could say some things have changed since then as i look at all my bikes and they are big bore thumper 4 strokes where my car is a big turbo 2 stroke(what i consider it as, since the principles are the same with no valves and firing once per rotation).

^^^I %100 agree. 2 stroke is almost extinct these days. When I used to street my car, I'd love looking at the faces of people when I dump 7 oz of 2stroke in. They always think its octane booster!
