Default Questions about 2 and 4 stroke engines...

If this has been covered I apologize. I looked at the first few pages and did not see anything like it. And it is a very basic question. I know 2 strokes use a gas/oil mix. And have very basic undestanding of why. So my questions are mainly.

1. Is there a website where I can read more detail about the two types of engines?

2. If you were going to buy an older dirt bike, say 5 to 10 years old would you go with a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke? I am fairly sure all Hondas are 4s but the last Honda dirt/ street trail combo bikes I rode were in the mid 70s.

Any info would be greatly appreciated...
