Before you go accusing me of blowing smoke up someones arse maybe you should check your facts mate. A 4 stroke having only 1 combustion cycle for every 4 strokes will make roughly half the power of an equilivently sized 2 stroke. Its just basic physics.

A 2 stroke will always out power a 4 stroke whereas the 4 stroke will have more torque. 2 combustion cycles vs 1 combustion cycle every 4 cycles.
