[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3790938, member: 3099"] I think [USER=44288]@Snattlerake[/USER] is pretty close. It's because they have to be relatively lightweight which means engine cases which support crankshaft loads have to be thin and cylinder walls have to be somewhat thin for air cooling. If they ran 5 to 6000 RPM they wouldn't live long. Two strokes are completely different animals, they do run high RPM but don't really live very long in comparative run hours. [/QUOTE]
