1986 Kevin Schwantz 500cc Spring Cup Mallory Park

[@truespyfan]

What a legend Sheene was... Talent on a bike, talent behind a microphone, as a talent scout and an all round great bloke.. Gee I miss him. :(

[@aspjake123]

Same here, Did not know Barry at all but he sure had world class talent and the epitome of being a true gentleman on and off the track. RIP Mr. Sheene.

[@queenslander954]

Absolutely the Baz & Daz show on channel 9 in Australia commentating the 500’s was brilliant , lots of them on KZbin now as well on the trickymario channel.

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

I spent a little time with Barry at a party at the Goodwood revival meeting. They say don't meet your heroes but that is definitely wrong. Great bloke, great memory 😉 RIP BARRY SHEENE.

[@KathrynLiz1]

Good old Schwantzy... everybody loved him.... a great guy and a great rider... :-)

[@gangoffour6690]

Goofy looking prick though !

[@psychosneighbor1509]

Total legend.

[@puckle69]

Sheene’s comment “he won’t do the sport any harm at all” was spot on 👌 What a great gesture by Barry, I love him even more now. Great footage, love all the classic liveries, Skoal Bandit being my favourite, so much so I had my 86 GSXR750 custom sprayed that scheme 😀

[@cecilwilson5442]

Brilliant stuff Sheene wasn't just the playboy then but bringing on the talent that I enjoyed when growing up and riding bikes myself ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland great video

[@JAQUIESCOBAR]

Schwantz getting a leg up by Sheene. Sheene seems so special as a man.kinda personI'd have loved to just like to shake his hand.i hope his is remembered in many years to come. American humility probably not a strong point, but class Barry shows how, even in retirement.. what a neat story .Roger great.interview. Perspective about sport (any) and competiting gives rrespet , real strength, humility- honoring parallel desiress, not.ones enemy. All win.

[@weltonreds]

KS showed incredible skills

[@teamheronsuzuki]

What a brillant and spectacular race!!

[@pabloperez4063]

The talent of Kevin is at least double than the rest. Never seen the track, with a new bike, new in 2 st, old suzuki, so young... And the fastest from the way go

[@yoshy4072]

Thanks Barry, thanks Kevin, we were entertained and amazed .....two true legends.

[@Hutch68able]

Watch "An evening with Kevin Schwantz" he explains why he didn't win, throttle cable issues meant he was effectively riding a 250, which is why as Sheene said, he was struggling out of the hairpin.

[@raynic1173]

I don't think you are correct, he said that's why he didn't win the next day, Sunday, which was the money race. If he was only running on two cylinders he never would have keep up with the acceleration of the 500ccs in this race. (p.s. I just watched the 2013 interview), peace....

[@A-FrameWedge]

@@raynic1173 Barry Sheene @14:13 even says he doesn’t think that Kevin Schwartz’s bike is not running very well because he losing out on the acceleration after the hairpin. And in this interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGK8payMgdmJnac Schwantz says it happened during the last 4 laps and that Roger Burnett won, and he did win this race. Roger Marshall won the 1986 Race of the Year, so Schwantz was talking about this race, not the race of the year.

[@rogerkay8603]

Love Barry, always will, RIP mate. Always a crossed 7 on my bikes in tribute. Them 500's were animals but how good does that Skoal RG500 look?

[@aspjake123]

I cross my 7's too

[@gammadan1228]

The skoal bike is a legend!!! I have a Gamma in skoal colors painted by dream machine. Only did 50 in 1986

[@travisguide4516]

Incredible how on the line every lap was you can see the bikes are just on the complete edge

[@patrickquinn9826]

Barry was an excellent racer with a great eye for upcoming riders

[@neochase1]

wow, what an amazing race! thanks for putting this up!

[@jamesd2128]

That Schwantz fella might turn out to be a pretty good rider.

[@DavidE-rr9vx]

What a great race. I forgot how good Paul Lewis was too.

[@sugarnads]

The ant was unlucky

[@GrrMeister]

Wow, sorry to say missed this race, would have loved to have been there.

[@moriwaki1105]

Roger Burnett was Roger Marshall's mechanic before he started racing himself.

[@acceleratefaster46]

Incridible footage. Thanks for sharing mate.

[@moriwaki1105]

Remember watching it live on TV with my mates....Great stuff.

[@without9103]

same!

[@scottdesmaretz5045]

BADASS KS !!!! WHAT GREAT FOOTAGE SO AWESOME !!!!!!

[@twizzlestickx7]

Me and my dad were there i remember barry sheene turning up in his helicopter

[@lriper4702]

Schwantz is the best rider ever on a racetrack... he proved it many times. He was always racing with inferior equipment throughout his career

[@gangoffour6690]

Goofy looking prick though !

[@quartusbuys6831]

Swantz has always been my favourite. On sheer ability nobody would beat him. Would not say he was always on INFERIOR equipment.

[@sugarnads]

Yeah his gsxr750 ama superbike was a piece of shit. His rgv500 was a pile of junk. Meanwhile mick doohan goes from 250 proddies to 500gp, destroys his leg in 92 then wins 5 in a row. But yeah schwantz was the greatest.

[@riccimartino7560]

fantastic race.thank u

[@teterouge1472]

Didn't realise my hero Barry made this happen for a legend at my local. As a lad my mates parents were involved through local club and we spent many Sundays "helping" at Mallory amongst others...

[@gs1100ed]

1st I heard this too

[@stefanvanrensburg6096]

Barry you're sorely missed😢

[@lagoonbound]

Thank you for this gem.

[@baka120y4]

Awesome race! Thanks!!

[@cavscout62]

If the Suzuki had had the horsepower and brakes of the current bikes Kevin would have won this, his very 1st 500 Ride & Race.

[@kallefeldt8003]

King is Schwantz

in 1986 the" young Schwantz" was a demon with an angel face 🤪🤪🤪 my hero !

[@nivdog123]

good old bazza

[@pmay222]

u could see the schwantz potential here..

[@A-FrameWedge]

Some of those bikes and riders are so much slower than the leaders, that it is very dangerous and they don’t seem to try and get out of the way of the faster riders coming up from behind.

[@wellmike3369]

To come first someone must come last knobend

[@A-FrameWedge]

@@wellmike3369 I was talking about how much slower the backmarkers where, no shit someone has to come in last but dangerous to have such a large discrepancy in speed.
