In a recent Dirtwheels magazine they made the comment \"In 2003, Yamaha geve the Blaster a new nosepiece and headlight. Since then they have upgrade the handlebars as well. Now all it needs is a DOHC, 250cc, four-stroke engine.\" This shows they have no support for 2-strokes what so ever. It is very sad that they would make a comment like this especially when the majority of there readers are probably 2-stroke riders. I feel in recent years there has been less and less support for 2-strokes. When was the last time you saw the banshee on the cover of Dirtwheels I think its time to take a stand and let them know that there are plenty of 2-stroke riders out there that are reading there magazine, and there are plenty of 2-stroke riders that are going to stop reading there magazine.
I am truly stunned by the response this has received because I honestly thought I was the only person who felt this way. Seeing so many people care about two-strokes shows that this is entirely your movement and I am just glad to be a part of it.

Dirtwheels used to be the go to but not anymore. Seems like they forgot who actually buys their magazine. RIP 2-stroke community support.
