Need some help on 2 stroke of 4 stroke..

[Scar13]

So I know the debate, of 4 stroke vs 2 stroke and I am not trying to get that heated up... What I am trying to do is find out since I am on a GASGAS is there a difference of a 2 stroke honda vs a 2 stroke gasgas ec 250 2010?

I ask this as I only trail ride with friends and sometimes race in TORO or TCCRA. Every ride or race I am constantly barraged with you would be better off of a 450 4 stroke.. The power is smoother, there is no HIT, and so forth and so on..

I have only ridden/raced a 2004 gasgas 300 and a 2010 3c 250 gasgas..

I had thought I had read once that the gearing on the gasgas was spaced out more and rode like a 450 4 stroke??

THoughts?

If it helps I am 6'1 230...
