Buy a Japanese brand and it’ll probably be a 4 stroke. The 2 strokes (most of the cheap Chinese bikes) are dirty and noisy, and pollute a lot more. IMO, 2 strokes shouldn’t be allowed on the road anymore.
A part of the prevalence of two stroke engines is ofc they’re cheap and light and easy to service, but another reason people like them is they produce more power for a specific cubic centimetre, and insurance often works with just engine size not type or power.
