33-Year-Old 125cc 2 Stroke VS. Modern Bikes!

Can a vintage 125cc Two Stroke beat a fleet of modern dirt bikes in a flat out race around the track? There's a big prize on the line today as our test rider Sean fights for his chance to race our super special Brand New Suzuki RM250 from 2006 at the iconic Farleigh Castle Vets MX event...but in order to earn the ultimate ride he first has to defeat me in a best of three cat and mouse challenge! I have the choice of three motocross rocket ships to choose from; Kong - our fuel injected BRC 500cc two stroke, a 2025 GasGas MC250f with all the bells and whistles and my own personal Yamaha YZ125. Meanwhile Sean is stuck with his old 1991 Suzuki RM125. Can he do the impossible? Can he win a dream ride...buckle up, this is a fun one! :-D

fast approaching the best motocross channel

[@999lazer]

Thanks John, that means a lot to us :)

[@MarcSherwood]

Us fans can be called the 999Glazers :-)

[@mandrakejake]

Hats off to Sean, really showing his talent today

[@davebarlow6457]

Love this channel. As an ex 2 stroke rider who raced from 1976 to 1988 , your videos are always a must watch. The thing that baffles me though is where have all the hills disappeared to on today's motocross tracks ? Even in schoolboy's back in the day we used to race on tracks with big hills and drop offs. Apart from the table tops everything seems so flat now , I guess that's just the way it is. Only Foxhills and Hawkstone when they're used , seem to be the exception.

[@mandrakejake]

I guess it's to reduce the risk of injury, hills are ace but an easy way to stack it hard. Plus they limit visibility for spectators.

[@999lazer]

Thanks for taking the time to watch Dave :-D We live near the Fens so a lot of the tracks we use are out that way and there's not a a hill to be seen for miles and miles lol

[@davebarlow6457]

Thanks for the reply my friend , keep these great videos coming. Please keep in mind a review test on a 1981 RM125 if you're lucky enough to find one. With it's water cooled motor and full floater suspension this is a bike that signalled a new era in motocross technology and development. The 82 model was exactly the same bike apart from a decal change. Keep up the great work.

[@joeyb3441]

Ashdown SW Oxford has huge hills, practice and race track open to the public. I wish there was more though like the old days

[@thomashoglund3472]

Great racing! Sean was a tough guy to beat. It seems to be a very nice race track! Thanks Max and Sean for a great race!👍

[@999lazer]

Thanks Thomas

[@siraff4461]

I loved this. There's something just natural about the way this was. Two lads out beating on bikes for a piece of the cake. The way things should be.

[@999lazer]

thank you

[@antquayle9275]

"Grandads gone crazy". Definitely a line of merch for Shaun there. Put me down for some. Love the challenge uploads. You do a good job here max. Great balance between 2 stroke action and plenty of smiles.

[@999lazer]

Much appreciated, thanks for watching

[@Sn0w1981]

You guys should do a sidecar race together. lol And race to decide who gets to drive!

[@cutters74]

Sean is a beast on a bike 👊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻😎😎😎

[@kevinmee3501]

Fantastic Max, those four bikes were amazing, , fantastic racing from you both, Sean made that 91rm fly, he truly has earned the right to blast your RM around Farleigh , thanks for the top quality video Max, and looking forward to the next one.

[@999lazer]

Thanks Kevin 👍

[@Ols-iam]

I grew up racing Bymx nationals during the 90’s/00’s from age 7-21. When I quit racing, I stopped riding completely and haven’t ridden a motocross bike in probably 17 years. But, can still visualise all the tracks around the UK corner to corner! I really enjoy your channel, and your enthusiasm always reminds me of the simple pleasure and freedom of riding! Go and try Desertmartin if it still exists, my fav track! I put my YZ125 on pole there at a national in the early 00’s :)

[@danpoxon2425]

Sean was flying on that old rm fair play to him

[@christoulsonmxchannel451]

You and the team are so lucky to be riding stuff like this all of the time

[@999lazer]

we really do appreciate the opportunities we get, it's a lot of work making a video every week alongside a full time job though... but i wouldn't change it for the world :)

[@mandrakejake]

Your videos have improved so much they're top quality now, unlike your riding lol 😂

[@nickclarkuk]

I was at Farleigh watching Sean racing the 2006 RM so I knew he won in the end. He’s fast !!

[@999lazer]

awesome check back next week for the Farleigh video :)

[@MotoPhill]

Absolutely fabulous viewing as an ex racer on 250 2 strokes I was feeling everything out there brought back all the memories of getting ragged whilst racing brilliant video guys ❤️

[@999lazer]

Thanks for watching Phil :-D

[@franciscolopez3229]

Good shot + good editing = great video. I was at edge of my seat. Nice.

[@999lazer]

Glad you enjoyed it! :-D

[@p540x5]

Wonderful show. Just to hear the two strokes run is nice, especially since the local private tracks in my area have gone away because the 4 strokes carry their sound so far. Also, I can't believe the tracks are so smooth now, and so high speed. Almost like road race on dirt.

[@999lazer]

Thanks for taking the time to watch dude! With only 2 of us riding on the day the track stayed very smooth, on a usual race day this place gets a lot rougher :-D

[@manitolas]

those early 90s screamers...great riding guys👏👏👏🤘

[@joshuahanson9644]

This was an awesome video! Props to you and Grandad for some great racing. Always cool to see an old 2 stroke rip against the new ones. I can’t wait to see that RM250 again! Until next time boys! 🤘

[@mikehudgens7007]

Think I had just as much fun watching the races as much as you 2 fella's did riding !!!! Nothing like 2 buddies going at it on these 4 cool rides !!! Sean was railing the guts out of the RM , it was incredible to hear - and my fav bike on the channel " Kong " proving that big 2 strokes still rule the roost !!!! My Kong is a 92 KTM MX 500 that is knicknamed " The Hulk " as my granddaughter calls it incredible hulk LOL !!! Fantastic riding to both you gents - 999lazer is def the most fun and interesting ( with all the diff builds and bikes you share ) on the tube - love this track - wish I could spin some laps on it someday - Now cannot wait to see " grand dad " on the RM 250 - great racing and great bikes today - Congrats Sean for your hard earned win against the fierce competition 🏁 Granddad gone wild - love it 🏁🏁

[@999lazer]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave such a nice comment Mike :-) I'd definitely recommend riding this track if you get the chance, my local club PJMC race there 4 or 5 times a year usually. The RM250 race vid is going to be a fun one!

[@elusive323]

Go Sean !

[@glensubtorq]

Epic racing!! In a way it was good training for Sean to get familiar with the RM as well.

[@albertking7012]

Shaun is knarly on the 125! You almost had the T-bone Max? What happened? Lol....great video guys! Loved every bit. As you Max, the RM250 has always been my favorite bikes, but im 53 so the mid 80's til about 92 is where my love affair comes from. I rode a clapped out 79 Yamaha IT175 throughout the 80's but drooled all over the magazines for the RM's. Having one would be my ultimate bike. It would be a blue engine bike though. Anyways thanks for the great channel guys! Cheers from the US....🤙

[@999lazer]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Albert :-D I thought about the T-Bone for a millisecond, but then i remembered that i do quite like the old chap! lol

[@ruigoncalves5301]

The sound of 125 two stroke is really good. And they are fun to drive too, however the four stroke are very effetive, lots of traction, the ideal is buy 2 bikes, 😂 Every day i watch another video, Max improves his ride , very good really, and congratulations Max

[@999lazer]

Thank you so much for watching :-D

You were sandbagging on the gas gas but i get its part of the production. Cant wait to see him race the rm 250
