They are - most inboard engines are 4-stroke. But as with land vehicles, you can get a smaller engine with 2-stroke (or more horsepower with a smaller engine) so the small engines like some outboards tend to be 2-stroke.

All tug boat engines are four stroke engines, because this engine responces quickly in relation to maneuvering this kind of boat in any situation.
Most gasoline engines are four stroke engines which is also known as the Otto Cycle. 1) Intake 2) Compresson 3) Ignition 4) Exhaust (four strokes)
Four-stroke engines have a spout where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).
Most gasoline engines are four stroke engines which is also known as the Otto Cycle. 1) Intake 2) Compresson 3) Ignition 4) Exhaust (four strokes)
Assuming you are referring to a street legal motorcycle (IE: Kawaski Vulcan, Ninja, etc.) these machines have four stroke engines. Dirt Bikes and such sometimes do not. Two-stroke engines generally use a fuel+oil mixture. (Such as a weed whacker) Four stroke engines generally have an oil sump. (Like a car)
Two stroke engines will create a lot of visible smoke pollution and also more noise than four stroke engines. For these reason, many countries have required that all new motorcycles should be four-stroke.
Suck My @#$&
Four stroke engines are quieter than two strokes, but have less power.
There are a couple, less parts for one therefore lighter. Also, 2 stroke engines fire every time the piston comes to the top. Which means every stroke is a power stroke. 4 stroke engines fire every other time.
Unless we are talking about big diesels - Yes.
with out them we wouldn't have cars
To make 4-stroke fuel, you need to mix gasoline with a specific ratio of oil. The most common ratio is 50:1, which means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil. This mixture is used in 4-stroke engines, where the oil is not mixed with the fuel but rather lubricates the internal components separately. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct fuel mixture to ensure proper engine performance and longevity.
