It has never made sense to race two-strokes in the same races as four-strokes. I have been reading about Paul Lewis and the development of the Honda RS750D road racer for the Pro-twins race class. It is what could have arrived in the 70s, if we'd never had the stupidity of running two-strokes in the same classes as four-strokes. I like two-strokes, but I made a conscious decision to only ever race a four-stroke. If all race classes only ever ran the two types of bikes together, I would probably be forced to ride two-strokes. Race organisers need to get as many entries as possible, so they usually run both types of bikes in the same classes, but they don't seem to know why the owners of four-stroke race bikes choose to stay away.
