The Difference Between Dirt Bikes and Road Bikes

• The main differences between dirt bikes and road
  bikes is that road bikes are faster than most
  dirt bikes. They are also a lot heavier than a
  dirt bike. Dirt bikes are made for off-road
  riding and road bikes are made for on-road
  riding. But they make a on-road and off-road
  bike called an enduro bike.

Types of Dirt Bikes and Their Differences

• There are two different types of dirt bikes and
  they are 2-stroke and 4-stroke. I dont think
  they have much of a difference but most every one
  else does.
• 2-strokes are easier to maintain and fix than any
  4-strokes. 2-strokes cost less to maintain and
  fix.
• 4-strokes are easier to ride because while on the
  track you dont have to keep them wound up the
  entire time. You can just lay off the throttle.

  uniquely-American spinoff discipline of
