52cc vs 35cc? One has 50% more displacement. A fair assessment would be a GX50.
I like speed!!!!!.
2 strokes have more power and last longer becuse of less moving parts i would go with a 2 stroke over a four stroke anyday i just put a 2 stroke engine on my pocket rocket(use to be electric) goes 40mph
Get yerself a motorcycle then. My neighbor just picked up a Yamaha Virago for 600 bucks. I took it out today, acceleration from 65 to 80 with no strain with a lot more left.
I someone would develope a small, affordable rotary engine, then we'd have something. Those things are awesome as far as power per cc ratio ! Not to fuel efficient though.
It's not your fault. I know you are just repeating what you have heard. I wonder who started the rumor that 2-strokes last longer because of less moving parts. LOL
Anyone who has owned 4-strokes AND 2-strokes would never think that a 2-stroke is anything close to being as reliable as a 4-stroke. It's really not even close.
I wouldn't say they last longer because of less moving parts but I would say that their inherent design and simplicity should make them more reliable with less moving parts and much easier to rebuild once they do die.
I'll take a HT over a 4 stroke anytime. They are compact, have great power (with high compression head and tuned pipe), and don't require oil changes, and valve lash adjustments (if applicable). Until they come out with a compact 4 stroke with a tranny that doesn't stick out a half-mile or make unbearable gear noise, I'll stick with the 2 stroke.
