To me it makes more sense to have intake on the front (ram air potential) and exhaust exit at the back of a 4-stroke. Exhaust on the back would probably be better for air cooled engines as well. Plus exhaust systems could be made shorter therfore bikes could be made cheaper.
It would be a mess if you tried to fit a 2-stroke exhaust behind an engine.

I have had the same thought. I guess since they have been making them that way for so long that it would be pretty expensive to design and retool for such a bike.
