A Great Circuit now ruined by the F1 Bore Fest Brigade.This was also the last"West German Grand Prix",because later this year the Berlin Wall came down,from then on it became the"German Grand Prix".

I see a lot of comments here praising the old two stroke races/racers...I count myself lucky to have had a taste of it myself. I grew up on mini bikes, mini cycles (we owned a Bonanza mini cycle with a Hodaka 100cc 5 speed motorcycle engine), enduro bikes and then motocross bikes where I earned AMA Expert Class Licenses in both 125cc and 250cc class in the early 70's while I was still in H.S. Then as I was about to hang my racing boots up and head off to Engineering college my local Yamaha dealer/sponsor (Island Yamaha in Merritt Island, Fl.) asked me if I was interested in running a partial season on a brand new 1975 TZ-250, I jumped at the chance...the caveat was I needed to turn some practice laps and get their blessing...so myself and a couple other potential riders went to Sebring for some shakedown and practice times and though I had never been on even a fast street bike I felt very comfortable on the TZ and I guess my lap times were good enough that I got the ride. Anyway long story short, we went to Daytona in '75 and ran in several of the 250 class prelim races and I had the distinct pleasure of being passed in open practice by Mr. Roberts on his TZ-700/750, he went around me in the first turn into the infield coming off the high bank front straight and I did my best to tuck in behind him, hoping to learn something from his line...lol...what I learned was KR had other wordly talent and rode the pants off his TZ-750...he would slide it all the way across the track under power when coming out of the turns...I almost ran myself into the infield watching his line when I should have been paying attention to mine....what a great experience. I ended up running in 3 other races during the winter/spring months my Sr. year in H.S. and then as I mentioned above I was off to Engineering College (FTU in Orlando. now known as University of Central Florida/UCF). I just retired from Lockheed Martin here in Orlando in 2016 after 32 years.

Doohan's success came mainly between the Lawson, Rainey, Schwantz era and the Rossi, Biaggi, Stoner era. Rossi has had a much stronger field over the course of his career and he has won on different machines, proving that the deciding factor was him, not the bike. With Doohan, we will never really know if it was him or the bike.

You hear the commentator making a remark about Rainey having an extremely fast motorcycle which in my opinion wasn't due to any factory involvement, but because of a 2 stroke GENIUS by the name of BUD AKSLAND-

Aaahhh.... Back in the days when world motorcycle racing was simpler. Look at some of the guys on the grid before the start. A few wore shorts and there's a guy without a shirt.

So funny during the warm up lap suddenly seeing the moto crossers in the picture. My thought was: WTF?

the average would be 23o or plus, and the top speed 370 I reckon. the laps, 1·45 (?)

Mick Doohan 3rd, in 1989, they did not yet know that Mr.Doohan would be 5 times 500cc world champion (94 - 95 - 96 - 97 - 98), and without his accidents (92 and 99) he would have at least 7 titles world champion.

So many back markers that got in the way back then and effected so many of the outcomes.

Director misses Rainey passing Lawson because he’s showing one of the locals going round in 19th place. Then more of the locals whilst a proper dice is on at the front. So glad there is more consistent broadcast production these days.

They might have more cameras today but it does not make it better. If there is a dice for second and third place you never see them finish because as soon as the first rider cross's the finish line they show the pit crew celebrating. So the director is as dire as the old days. But they have to please the sponsors over the spectical.

Two strokes!! When men were men!! No TC, no wheelie control. As a kid I rode a 500 and thought i was Wayne. True, almost killed myself but can say i rode a 500 two stroke on the limit. God's will in still alive, announcer saying Kevin wasn't making up ground yet Mr Smooth was reeling Lawson and Rainey back in like crazy. Amazing race and he got it right, the best in the world. Amazing

The commentator said Kevin Schwantz is 6'2". I met him in 2002, I think he's more like 5'10"

Cómo se extraña ver una parrilla con tantas motos y tan parejas, tal que parece una carrera de moto 3!!!! 👏👏👏👏
