Marvin Musquin + KTM 125 Two-Stroke WIDE OPEN

#motocross #2stroke
This Week in MXA, episode 185, presented by O'Neal, is all about Marvin Musquin and the KTM 125SX two-stroke he built with help from KTM and David Vuillemin. We had Glen Helen all to ourselves, and they were prepping the track with some perfect dozer berms, great for going wide open on this fuel-injected 125 two-stroke.

Since I put it back together, I'm glad it didn't fall apart... haha. Great riding by Marv and super cool edit! We need more of this type of content!

[@michael589m]

Hey DV, what fuel and plug are used in this bike?

[@DavidVuillemin]

@@michael589m Pump gas I'm sure. Plug, no idea

[@jonathanwilliams4255]

You’re the man, DV!

[@typrall9028]

Exactement

[@mainyakmainer7162]

Marvin and Tomac’s battles are some of the best. Thanks Marvin

[@danmeifert2469]

Washougal a few years ago Tomac finally passed Marvin at the end of the moto.

[@Peanutdenver]

@@danmeifert2469 That was a great race fr!

[@brettfrimmer6567]

Such a great rider imo. Always liked Marv.

[@jamihiltonmusic]

Such a shit rider, never liked Marv

[@someguyinphoenix1876]

I could listen to this all day. Miss those 2 strokes!

[@TheLoopy989]

I thought you meant frenchy accent

[@dumbdumb572]

They're still here and haven't gone anywhere

[@Rickhamer-jackson]

Whatever Jody is paying Mosiman is not enough he has single-handedly put MXA back on top.

[@joshmosiman1955]

I really appreciate the kind words, but it's a team effort! We have a great crew of guys working at MXA, including Trevor Nelson who filmed/edited this and came up with the fun ideas throughout the video

[@chordle1605]

I think is whole appeal is that he's a dude who could still do it, but does this instead. I find the guys from Dirt Bike and other places entertaining, but half of them don't really have enough "jam" for me to take them seriously. He's legit and this is the by far the best moto channel since he joined

[@travisfletcher900]

@@joshmosiman1955. Josh is definitely the main ingredient in MXA’s recent rise. He seems to know what fans want to see and hear… and I don’t think you can find anyone who doesn’t like the guy as a person.

[@biciclistaus]

Love to see Marv (and DV) enjoying riding mx bikes without the stress of racing.

[@tacoenvy]

love it, Marv is awesome I miss him being out there.

[@ZombFN]

I just picked one up last Thursday so pumped to ride this weekend !!

[@kellyelliott4061]

Marvin is truly a class act, I wish he was still racing.

[@1622yamaha]

Marv at Glen Helen on a 125, flippin rad!! Some vids of him riding out there when the conditions are gnarly, national prep type stuff, would be even cooler

[@herbrachel3663]

Its good to see marvin again. Always a personable young man.

[@raymondsiewert2720]

His KTM 150 RAW video at Pala from 2016 was the best 2 Stoke video ever ! Talk about mixing gas and hauling ass ! Watched it probably 30 times !😅

[@graham68ktm]

100% man , it's my Favourite too and always watch it when needing a 2banga fix !!

[@nyhusdieter4086]

110% man since I watched this KTM 150 RAW video at least 200 times . Best ever 2 stroke vid from the 2strokeKING

[@kerripolk]

The look back at the camera while wide open through the turn. That’s definitely the money shot. 😎B.A. approved.✊🏼

[@spread4me75]

Marv is such a good dood, miss seeing him racing mx & sx

[@Anth-p5m]

So glad I grew up in the 90s watching pros on 125,s and 250s. In my opinion the sport is not the same to watch or participate in long live 2 strokes Dc and the AMA and other powers to be really screwed the blue collar consumer. Premix forever

[@yamahaxs6501]

there is just something about a 125 two stroke that is just so much fun!

[@robertbarney8609]

Absolutely need MM25 to race that thing at both Vet and Two Stroke Nationals Let’s go Marv !!

[@superbeast-lq3ft]

BEST LOOKING BIKE EVER. soooo sickkkkk.

[@gregorgeiger8385]

Premium premix content for my ears and eyes! Thank you KTM, MM25 and MXA Mag. 😁😍 Best regards from germany.

[@Tibingi84]

Man am I happy that I bought a MC 125 to my 40th B-Day! It’s never too late to make your childhood dreams come true 🤘🏻

[@robertlatham8361]

Cool ride Marvin ❤

[@BryanStatham]

Flat out SICK!!

[@Joemama-crzy]

The look 👀 back 🤟🏽

[@airtek4809]

That was killer.

[@KellyKelly-qc1rt]

Yes it was.

[@someoneyouknow96]

That's what I'm talking about.

[@SamPaulson-we7of]

The mx’er equivalent to a mic drop

[@shmirdonkin]

Taking the looong way around the Glen!

[@deanwaring6100]

So sweet it can't be beat, long live the 2 stroke 😊

[@markwilde2206]

Straight rhythm for sure proven winner

[@scottpeters8640]

That is a good-looking motorcycle. Marv must be loving the retired racer life, as he rides a bunch of different bike and has no stress of racing.

[@toddcarpenter4237]

He should still be racing 💯

[@henricusrealms8411]

It would be cool to see Marvin on 125 (or the 150) and the 300SX at the Two Stroke Nationals (2025).

[@bloomerb4162]

He definitely needs to do it after seeing his straight rhythm performance.

[@jonathanwilliams4255]

I wish I would’ve appreciated marv more during his career, he’s such a cool, good dude.

[@CWB367]

Badass bike! Marvin can rip!

[@6VIERTE9]

So refreshing seeing the 25 out there. So composed

[@michaeleguillen]

Oh hey Glen Helen, used to be able to watch professional moto cross there!

[@factoryminis3437]

Should ride one of the 250 outdoors on it. Top 15 for sure.

[@davebrunette6394]

Awesome!

[@PaulConnor100]

Beautiful bike and Marvin is the man to put it through its paces, Ktm is the best bike I ever rode straight out of the box .🙄

[@Efemedio1]

Can't understand why the KTM group doesn't give this man a chance? Being that they have a bunch of clowns like Stewart, Craig, and Barcia! I bet Marv can run circles around that bunch!

[@DisasterTheoryX]

Yea with the downsizing of the other brands you would think they would bring him out of the garage for some easy top 10's. He's not matching AP or Sexton's pace but he can definatly best the Husky guys. Maybe give him Bam-Bams bike while he heals up his knees?

[@kaseo7891]

He has said in multiple interviews that he doesn't want to race again. Burnt out on the training/grind of being competitive in 450s.

[@williamcrotts7054]

He could be like Kenny, win qualifiers and lose the main race.

[@lawrenceworth1839]

100%

[@JimGoose-hl4cx]

I wouldn't call them clowns . I think you'd find the pace is higher and they'd hang with marv.. best to be able bodied that to have a life changing crash any day

[@alanmurdock4319]

I love 2 stroke, there is no other. Miss Marvin in supercross, but everybody has to call it a day afterwhile, the injuries catch up with you.

[@DTM45]

Marv is a bad dude. No doubt.

[@manny.9273]

Reminds me of that video of him at pala all those years back, except glen helen has no huge jumps

[@raymondsiewert2720]

The sickest KTM 150 video ever ! I watched that video 10 times in a row, then went out the next day on my 250 2 stroke and was 20% faster ! 😅

[@erikgale7161]

Glen Helen is garbage for videos

[@dormantmenace]

​@@raymondsiewert2720in your head atleast.. reality. . Blew up 20% more berms

[@stevesmith756]

Glen Helen sucks these days. You’re right no jumps and just high speed wide open. Back in the day they used to make great jumps there

[@85ba]

@@raymondsiewert2720absolutely. That was THE video. 😁

the fun in riding a 125. always screamin'

[@johntomasik1555]

Never saw Glen Helen groomed. It'd be fun for me! lol

[@sisu638]

la ktm est superbe ! fine et racé. elle marche fort et marvin dessus, c'est un avion de chasse !!!!

[@MAMethven]

Now I would love to see Marvin show us how it goes on a supercross track.

[@Pompomgrenade]

That is a very tricked out little personal aircraft 👍🏾 Another French ripper!

[@aivorebane3050]

carb KTM (old model) sound is much better. Video, Marv and Josh of course is awesome!

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

YES, Sir!!!! More please!!!

[@Pompomgrenade]

Marvin has a super cool attitude...✌️

[@jrolks101]

yo seeing marv in those fresh boots and start that thing with some attitude that was sick already lmao..

[@JimmyJizmejian]

That track is very nicely groomed compared to when i was their the other day for practice 😂

[@patrickstenkilsson5676]

Bike is sick,sounds so good. Beautiful bike. Marvin build a 300 sx 👍😁

[@Diesel1995]

even my dog enjoyed this

[@brandonfoley8070]

Not a KTM guy but those new bikes are nice. Can never go wrong with a nice 125

[@Factory928AC]

Even If I had glen helen to my self all groomed …I don’t think I could ride like this 😂😂😂

[@ronaldorocha5506]

SENSACIONAL 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🫡🇧🇷🇺🇲

[@kimkristensen2816]

Marvin should get the second Husgvarna 450 ride. Its a shame to waste his talent. Sweet looking bike and fast as heck

[@MsAndreaskastrup]

Awesome video!

[@Quadz10]

This one is 12/10 🔥👌

[@brianmerrill1227]

Marvin still has it. super fast

[@KOM-jh]

Electric start!!!!

[@racecastle]

Braaaaaapppp

[@abracing199]

I wish they would let marv race a two stroke in a national just to see how he could do.

[@scottpeters8640]

In 2020, Cody Williams put a Husky 125 into the 25th place result. Marvin is 4-5 seconds a lap faster without a doubt. Even with a bad start that the 125 would yield, Marv surely could put that bike up to about 12th place, maybe a bit better.

[@f3verMonkey]

F’in A! Nothing like a 190 lb 125 2 stroke

[@Rossinator28]

The nod of approval at 7:57

[@DSRDaveW]

Marv, now you need to go visit Mr Carson Brown! 😁

[@brettwilson2544]

Marvin = small bore god

[@shawnhorne9296]

Marv need a Orange seat cover , come on, nice bike for sure 👍 👏 😉

[@timetter7062]

Need some rain out there

[@minime5380]

Well that’s run it in I guess 😮👍

[@austinwalker2057]

Prob needs a rebuild now

[@Baylessfishes]

Glen Helen!

[@Kaysss44]

Hey, what year is it. Thanks and incredible moto and video

[@E63s_Scott]

That is so cool! Shame it doesn’t have a factory motor like the olden days, definitely lost a few HP with the FI that thing sounds flat!

[@angelracing]

i accept bike donation, in case of You get bored of this beauty!...

[@straighttimestirrups]

Still can’t comprehend the need for an electric start 125/150 so I’ll stick to my 21 TC125. I’ll be 60 in December, lol.

[@Lewisedwards882]

Will this be on spotify ?😅

[@joshmosiman1955]

best comment!

[@2stepYo]

sick ah vid

[@pedrogonzalesthespanishgyp7964]

100% he would be top 5 in the ama 450 class and would probably win motos on experience in the 250 class if he cameback

[@herbertklausen7912]

in germany, we called this shape of track " Autobahn"

[@corvette_jake7225]

Those sounds give me a half chub every time

[@רועימלכה-ש3ק]

2 stroke gad mood Marvin is killing the shitup of that 125

[@nonstop1212]

Marv is Gnarly!

[@TheTheThewillow]

That look back😂,

[@leecurry8170]

HEROS!

[@brutus6328]

Why no "Best in Pits" lately? Haven't seen one for weeks now. I used to love seeing the bikes the day before the races.

[@bloomerb4162]

We can't get the engine mounts either, right? He said they were from R&D.

[@joshmosiman1955]

True!

[@richystocles]

Marv should go into make cool MX vids, like the MTB, the skaters or the surf guys + it make you think... before you move to the 450, make sure you can rinse a 125 like that XD

[@CR250rSMITH]

Before it hits the track again it needs a top end

[@Jimmy_Watt]

Remember: the words "two stroke" cannot be in a video title separately from "wide open." 😂

[@patrickstenkilsson5676]

Bring back Glen Helen national. It separates the men from the boys
