Why do you ask lol? I havn't heard anything about it. I very much doubt it would happen as two smokes are rocket racers 
not to mention alot of fun lol. The only thing i could think of is emissions standards putting stress on them, but even then it just means modified mufflers etc to make them more "green"

No they are not getting banned. They have been fazed out. They might make a come back in about 20 years if they find like some type of new technology with 2 stroke motors but the present and future is 4 stroke.
2 strokes have been getting fazed out for years. Mostly to do with road registering compliance laws (and ADRs). 4 stroke technology has advanced with off-road rec bikes, so its the suppliers themselves fazing out them. Honda is apparently never making another 2 storke dirt bike (so I've heard). Even the racing arena are getting anal about the amount 2 strokes smoke on track.

Oh, and they improved on the head design and powervalves.
Always had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. Spine tingling stuff!
2m03s around Phillip Island for an amatuer on an RS is nothing to sneeze at.

crf 450r 4 stroke is all i have to say lmao
Most scooters Ive seen are 100cc and above and are 4 strokes...
Scooters are stupid anyway I hate them, get a real motorcycle instead!
Ah ha! A real man. LOL
Scooters are just meant to be mini commuters, not something to be taken seriously. LOL
Actually theres quite a few titled 2 strokes in the USA ranging from YSR50's through to VJ21/22/23 RGV's RS250's RG500's etc...
BUT considering the population in the USA there's very few titled one's to go around and most if not all are now in the hands of those who see value in them as a dying breed.
As you said, UK and Europe & Asia are where all the smokers are living these days.
Yep in California you aren't allowed to run a 2 stroke unless its on private property. So that means you cannot drive a little boat with a 2 stroke motor in like a lake or beach river etc.

ive heard that all the dirtbike brands that make the 125-250 2strokes will stop making the 2strokes because of emisions,epa n shit like that
ive been told this year is the last that yamaha will be making there 2stroke bikes so no 08 bikes will be 2strokes
.....but dont take my word for it beause rumors can start very easy thats why im not 100% sure
ive also heard that even though the new 4bangers are very quick they need alot of maintenence more then the 2strokes
