Perhaps the negative opinions i've heard are mainly rumour then. Talks of engine's seizing and such.

iff you forget the 2 stroke oil then yes !!! Haha

DO IT. two strokes are always gonna be the most fun and rewarding of the smaller bikes. they are made to make you grin. always keep a check on the oil and always use the best 2 stroke motorcycle oil you can buy. and don't compare it with anything else coz when yer on it you just ride it to how it feel good 'n' natural, diffent bikes and engines have different styles but that's not to say one is better over the other. you'll love it
what could possibly go wrong

So then, this oil business. Roughly how quickly would you say oil might be used up? I think I remember YC telling me I would need to make sure I checked every time before going out on the bike. Is it just a matter of how much the engine is ragged? Sorry about the dumb questions...!

Just top it up every time you get home from refilling the fuel
