This was my era of motocross. I had a 1973 Greeves 380 QUB.

This was such a nice and relaxing video, love it

[@gordonlandreth9550]

A wonderful video showing vintage motocross from the early 70's . Not only did I find the riders excellent , those cycles were very fast . The course was great and it would have been fun to ride on at any speed . Thanks for showing such a classic , early MX race .

[@Wide000]

Great memories! :) I would like to go back in time to ride these old machines on a natural track like this.

[@johnl9977]

Yeah, I really miss the real motocross days too. I had an SC500, great engine, but my next was a 501 Maico, and the Yamaha was a wheelbarrow compared to that. First owner of my bike sold it after a few rides when it put him in the hospital, was only bike to send me to the ER too.

This footage is just stunning. What a beautiful time and place.

[@robertrishel3685]

Oh man that soil😍😍😍😍😍. Beautiful!

[@terrypikaart4394]

Fabulous!.. Love to race a track like that, fast nice contour. That sc was fast, really roosted some people on that big hill!.

[@husq48]

I see a 73 TM Suzuki there, sharp lookin' bike!

[@tonymartin4255]

[@chrismoody1342]

I owned a 73’. Honda CR250M. Baby hauled ass. I raced open class time to time and never felt out gunned.

[@tedbaxter5234]

What fun! Where I live, in the USA, it is almost all clay soil, but the soil in the video looks great. I’m jealous! 7:46

[@andrewhanson5942]

Bloody SC500 Yamaha! What a brute. Damn near broke my foot just kickstarting the bastard!

[@slit4659]

I had a 71 36O Yamaha with the Black stripes on the Gas Tank......One of the first real MX Dirt Bikes.....it hauled ass my buddies had a125 and the other had a 250 and I had a 360....the King....

[@designertjp-utube]

Agreed. I climbed off my '72 Yamaha 250 Enduro over Osteen's Parkway here in Cali (bac n the day) and jumped on my friend's Black Tank Yamaha 360 Beast Enduro. My Mind was blown at the brute torque power pulling them hills!

[@Canine58]

Great stuff...

[@donbrashsux]

Amazed at the handling of the yz250a...

[@johnnycarpenter1744]

You still can get a old elsinore and race the world famous Elsinore Grand prix it goes down every year in November in the same town 3 days of race fun show up and ride

[@mikeskidmore6754]

When I was 15 years old I had a 1974 Yamaha YZ-80-A with a GYT Kit that tripled the power .. My Neighbor let me ride his Yamaha AT-500 I went to all 4 gears with the front wheel about 1 foot off the ground.. that was quite a rush to feel that kind of acceleration Light bike and low seat height for a short kid like me.. Sadly my neighbor that had that bike died in a car crash .. and his Dad sold that bike

[@bentonrodeheaver2596]

The amount of roost coming off the no. 58 makes me think it's an old sc 500.

[@gasgaslex_photos]

Amazing stuff, no advertising, no safety gear besides a useless skull cap, no suspension, rubbish brakes, terrible ergonomics but visually fabulous

[@mezzeta]

A real MX track. Looks like Unadilla in NY state

[@grahamchilds821]

Very fast as yz 500

[@donbrashsux]

Oh the music..

[@fersabella1181]

Eso si eran motos no las porquerias chinas de ahora

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Yamaha was a horrible beast and the Elsinore was a great bike. The Elsinore made everything else obsolete!
