See how this progresses, feel free to throw rocks at me. Motorcycle Myths.
Shaft drives can't wheel stand! Total bullshit, the first road bike I ever wheelied was an R90s BMW
Wheelies blow fork seals. BS Forks use the internals to control damping not the seals. MX bikes would be blowing them all the time if this was true. Hydraulic rams on the other hand do use the seals to contain the pressure and can blow them from abuse.
Two strokes don't have torque. BS Compare a 250 2 stroker against a 250 4 stroke both tuned for the same type of power ie low HP low revs like a trials bike or high HP high revs like a Gp bike and the two stroke will have more torque, Most people confuse "flywheel" with torque.
Two strokes have to rev high for power BS The reverse is usually true. They sound like they rev higher because they fire every time the piston gets to TDC as opposed to a four stroke that fires every second time.
