Brought a tear to my eye seeing the Dajiro Kato bike. True talent, blessed to have met him and seen him race many times. Ran away with the 250 title, no one could touch him. Would of been a Moto go world champ at some point. RIP#74

[@jraybay]

Gary Doctor Great looking bike... 16 years have passed. Time flies jeez.

[@mattprice4358]

Without a doubt! Totally fearless but a very special very rare borderline Rossi caliber talent!! I rem one time someone in the paddock asked someone on his team “where does he put those huge balls of his when on the bike?”

[@BKJP1998]

Good to see that those iconic bikes are still being taken care of and loved!

[@TheInfantry98]

Lmfao pops till you realize these old bikes can’t even match the performance level of production liter bikes in 2019 lol. MOTO GP bikes need electronics because they are MUCH MUCH MUCH FASTER than these old machines. Sorry pops but riding with electronics is the name of the game.

[@meikuran]

I have an NSR 125, and it's a beautiful thing to see its big brothers in action. Absolutely beautiful!

[@austinado16]

The bikes are beautiful and sound fantastic! Thanks for sharing your racing history with us!!

[@ArcticEwi]

What a great video! As a child I was a great fan of Freddie Spencer and his lovely Rothmans Honda's. To see and hear the bike today is a real treat; I thank you!

@David Miatke Do you even have a shinebox?

[@suhaimiehamad6383]

David Miatke ohh. So what purpose electronic in nowadays superbike? It to support over torque reaction correct?

[@andrewperry605]

According to sheene you can power wheelie in every gear

[@hdidane00]

Love the Sound of the 84 and 85 but the looks on that 97 is just breathtaking. looks like Mick Doohan's killer machine.

[@gino3286]

The Mick Doohan bike is probably the best ever made. He was excellent but the bike was supreme. Biaggi had it in his hands and lost it to get the Yamaha money. He could have won the title.

[@rosariocriscenti5652]

The best music...without guitar, drum, piano!

[@jregulatori4672]

This is the pinnacle. When I think of the kings, I think of NSR, RGV, TZR, and yes, RS250. It will never get better. Watching the 97 NSR500 around the track is trying to justify mid 80's turbo F1. Brilliance and so ahead of it's time. You are not a man if you don't get a chub during.... -A10 gun run -NSR500 running though the gears -Standing in a blank room staring at a poster of an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/Stradale

[@EreksonJ]

Using four strokes how they should be used: Only to start 2 strokes :)

[@coryeis547]

Can you explain what they are doing? Been watching a lot of older bike videos lately and this is a common theme

[@wernershare1806]

lmfao!!

[@homefront3162]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CalvinEdmonson]

I remember Honda bringing the NR500 to Laguna Seca with Freddie Spencer at the controls. Back in the day the fans could get very close. I stood on the left side of the bike as a mechanic was blipping the throttle, while Freddie approached in full battle gear. The lowest number on the tachometer was 10,000! What a sound she made. WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! So cool.

[@2TRacingtv]

Hello! YOUR CHANNEL IS AWESOME, I LOVE IT!

Two strokes sound like no other engine. I hope they can get them back someday, even if that is highly unlikely.

AW you lucky bugger.. I have never had the chance to ride one..Jeez I haven't seen one since around the time of my first shave.. they were pretty rare on the roads even in the day... There is a website that tells you how many of a certain vehicle are still on the Road and whether they are taxed and tested or SORN... wonder what it would be worth now... I'm off to have a looksee

[@Swampster70]

Commiefornia are banning the sale of new 2 stroke motorcycles in 2021 and with good reason. I had a RD250 as a kid. Apparently it was in great condition and was about as good as they got but it required one to be full on the gas and deal with that annoying noise that sounded like Jar Jar Binks being tickled in a blender. Off the gas it was crap, on the gas it was good for all of a 1,500rpm power band. The RD500C was more fun but had the same narrow power band and anything over 200 miles left you with a sore left leg from the 32,432,432,657 gear changes needed to keep it in the power band. From riding this, I could see why most bike races were never several hours long. I pity the bastards that had to ride the 6 hour races on it. I got wise to the fact that 4 stroke bikes were better to ride early on. Back in the day I loved my EXUP. RIP my FZR. So much faster and way easier to ride. But today, I'll keep my S1000RR. The world doesn't need oil burners that dump more pollution into the air just warming up than your average car emits in 12,000 miles. But despite the fact that I'm an old ornery man, if you call 49 old, I can't wait for someone to make a kick ass electric bike. I never got the fad of a loud exhaust - I don't want the cops further down the canyon knowing I'm coming from 2 miles away. Why would you want that? If you sneak up on the rozzers at 100mph with no sound, they're not going to have the speed gun ready, they'd still have one hand of the coffee cup and the other on the donut. Even the BMW electric scooter that I had a test ride on when my S1000RR was in for its first service was more fun that I ever remember the RD500C being. Then again, I expected the RD to be fast and it kinda was but I expected the C Evo to be slow and boring and had the shit surprised out of me. That it went around corners as well as the RD and had as much torque (but in a very linear way from a dead stop) just shows how far things have moved on. The new S1000RR has a 9,000rpm range where it is over 100nm of torque 5,500 to 14,600rpm. It almost makes you want to forget about changing gear and just smash it in the twisties in 1st gear all day and come home a sweat soaked fool that can't stop laughing. That said, I hope that the bikes in the video are kept in tip-top shape and running for many years to come. It's great when we can see how things were back in the day and how far each generation of bikes moves on.

I love these,I ride my little 250 RS Aprilia to bike meets and most don't even know what it is. Many think it's good for 60/70 mph like the modern 4 bangers. Lol, I just smile, you keep reading the sales brochure on your litre machines.

These two strokers make the modern MotoGP bikes look boring. I use to race a Yamaha 250gp bike and loved it! "MR. JAPAN . . . BRING BACK THE TWO STROKERS"

[@hdidane00]

[phone] it's not Mr Japan's fault it's the stupid american strict regulations and europeans specs that eventually killed the 2 strokes. they want to make us believe that it was because of pollution issues but it reality it's becausr they knew they couldn't beat Mr Japan when it came to two stroke craftmaship.

[@Bokieyoh]

+hdidane00 haha wtf, 2 strokes are shit, to much wear and a way to much fuel consumption for the avaible power. Here in europe gasoline isnt as cheap as in other parts of the world. And 2 strokes sound like shit :-/

[@radiofreeacab]

By displacement, 2 strokes will always be the option of choice for a serious rider who can keep it in the power band through a curve like a big boy. It's like drivers who can use a manual vs. drivers who can't, the difference in quality of driving is night and day.

[@MartinUnited97]

1984* ;)

[@joearmijo1157]

yeah but how much torque did they make

[@hunghuge7717]

Martin Notland I think that was the older design - around 165hp? Still bloody impressive when you think what else was about in those days.

[@hunghuge7717]

Joe Armijo I'm not sure but I would guess around 85lb going off the rpm and power. 2 strokes actually make a LOT of torque at peak. People think they don't because they only make it in certain rpm ranges but they push hard when they're on pipe.

[@frotttiopm8668]

Martin Notland Spencers NS 500 made around 140Hp .....the 1997 NSR500 made around 190Hp

1983-2000...greatest era for motorcycle racing that will have ever existed. The 1992-93 rothman's NSR 500 ridden by the great mick doohan was the greatest combination in 2 wheel history.

[@saulocpp]

herbyverstink It looks like you never heard of Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Jarno Sarinen, John Surtees, Jim Redman, Giacomo Agostini, Geoff Duke. Just to name a few. And some of them not only won more titles in GP racing, but also won Man TT (Hailwood like 13 or 14, Agostini 10 or 11), something that doesn't happen for like 30 years. Oh, and Surtees, the only man to win the world championship of the top motorcycle (GP500) and car (F1) categories. Doohan is in the Top 10 no doubt, but there are some ahead.

I know trying to make a compariso via a video game is such a joke. But I play Tourist Trophy from my clunky old PS2. When I got those 2-stroke bike, I thought it was a helpless bike against a 4-stroke 400cc. Until I decided to try one, and then I met a corner at Suzuka... Damn, these 2-strokers are riding on rails. I took note of their lightweightedness and amazing cornering ability. So cool!
