Bring back the 50cc world championship class!! So much history, and no need for idiot amounts of money.

I remember when 7 classes raced on Sunday. 50, 125, 250, 350, 500, sidecar "A" and sidecar "B" That was awesome.

[@kuks3960]

@@kuks3960 depends on engine and "steuerzeiten" and on your exhaust layout on a 2 stroke and by the way if you maybe get more knowledge from watching yt videos you will learn that a 2 stroke rlly depends not on torque :D its horsepower and revs I rebuild tune and destroy couple 2 stroke 50-125cc i was on scooter drag racing .... i had scooters with 20 hp + on the weel . so dont tell my anything about 2 strokes .

[@r1273m]

Awesome. I remember back in the 1960's there was a 50cc class at the Isle of Man TT. I think the Kreidler had a 12 speed gearbox. Just remember to keep your hand over the clutch lever...……..

[@DoubleD_83]

@r1273m . You mean in case the engine would seizes up. And safe yourself by pulling the clutch-lever.(on-time) Before the backweel starts locking-up. You have to be fast as lighting. I know this from 2-stroke experience. Anyways hope you can confirm this. Cheers and Greets from Holland. 👍🏼

[@davecooper3238]

In 1964 my mate & stood at Brandish as the 50s swept down from The Creg. They approached that quickly we at first thought that they had swopped the 500 TT to the morning.

Impressionnant ce Kreidler !! J'adore les deux temps.

[@easyfishing1936]

Wow but every time that Rev counter dropped below 11000 rpm I was urging the rider to stir that gearbox and keep it in the powerband and found my head tilting over round the circuit. I noticed that as the riders confidence increased he was definately getting quicker. I loved it!!!

Yes, it would be nice to see what it could do if he kept it in the power band all the time.

Die 50er drehten alle bis knapp an die 18.000 Van Veen war natürlich etwas besonderes, aber auch die übrigen Tuner wussten, wie man aus einem Schnapsglas anständig Power erzeugen konnte. Ich war von 1975 bis 1983 Mechaniker bei meinem Freund, welcher in der 50 und 125er Klasse DM / EM / und ein paar WM Läufe bestritt. Bin beide Klassen probeweise auf dem Hockenheimring und Salzburgring gefahren. Voll geil 👍😉

[@ragsbiker7316]

Some of the comments make me laugh , he is running the bike in adter an engine rebuild thats why he takes it up and extra 100 or 200 rpm each lap and still is doing a 100mph ( 160kmh )

[@oleriis-vestergaard6844]

Delikat - best sound from any engine

[@oleriis-vestergaard6844]

In the old days the werks Kreidler had a 12 speed gearbox - the reason was that the 50cc engine only could be driven in a very narrow Field of revolutions say around 500 up in the 13000 revolutions - another problem was the problem of syncronising the 2 carburettors at 17.5 mm - yes the old Kreidler race engines had 2 valves one at either side of the engine , the later van veen engines just has 1 valve and a 28mm bing car , the only thing the old days has as an advantage was the high octane fuel with led additive - remember it well becauce it smelled very speciel .........

very interesting but you need to keep it on the pipe more it looked like useable power was from 11500 to 14000, 10k and it was flat , raced itom in the 60,s nowhere as quick as this

[@dny9394]

There's a noticeable surge in power from early 13,000 to 14,500 which is where- being a tuned 2T - "it's at. " 12-15 % of his power resides there . Dropping to 10k or even lower means a long slow climb back to top speed. When he kept it up there at 13 to 14,000 He was well up there with the crowd. So he can ride with the best but gotta get on top of 2T, the style is different to 4T. Theres little torque to speak of so always keep it pinned , no 9,000 rpm turns, keep it boiling, stay above12,500 at all times, bends an all. Schwantz said his ambition was to ride a complete race with the throttle pinned. Good chap to follow...he rode 2Ts I believe.
