The key is in the lubrication systems, better lubrication equals less friction, equals less wear. Also due to the advanced lubrication of the 4-strokes there is also another big benefit, less heat. All these combined should give the 4-strokes the nod in engine life with proper maintenance. All this is theory of coarse!
