Riding the OUTLAWED Twin Cylinder 2 Stroke Dirt Bike!

[@Tortelli-NL]

The engineer you describe is Jan Witteveen: after this motocross adventure he went to Aprilia in 1989 with the 125 and 250cc world champion road racing (which he won with Max Biaggi and much more riders) and went on to Derbi. Recently he's back into motocross! A true Dutch 2 stroke engineering legend. Very cool video!!

[@theedge60]

He was also the architect behind the world title of Dave Strijbosch in 1986 on the Cagiva.

[@petergriffin4629]

So I have a big one to track down for you. My grandfather is Willy Oesterle, two time German champ and european vice champ in the 50ties. He was a worksrider for DKW and Maico. But more importantly, he started his own little project called Oepo (Oesterle and Pohl). The idea behind it was to build a two stroke 500 for the GPs from German parts with metric screws. The reasoning for this was that at the time 1959 the 500 MXGP was dominated by british four strokes, which were expensive and hard to run for people outside the UK. The Germans such as my grandpa and Fritz Betzlbacher etc, rode bored out two stroke 250s, because already at 350cc a two stroke was competitive with the four strokes of the time. He did go through with it and built a 500cc twin made from two maico 250s, called the Oepo 500/1. He than later improved the frame and called it the 500/2. Then later he went further to building a bispoke 400 cc single, because the 500 twin just had too much and too uncontrollable power. Which he called the Oepo V1 He did manage to track down a V1, which is standing in his cellar ready to ride (he is 91, so he ain't gonna ride it). But he never managed to find an Oepo 500. Now I just want to make clear here, as far as I and he know, this is the first ever two stroke 500 raced at Motocross Grand Prix and also the first to ever win one. Which he did in Brühl in 1959. I have heard rumours that there is still one around though it has been turned into a sidecar somewhere along the line. This would be probably the most impossible find you could achieve. If there is an interest in testing out such an old iron, the 400cc machine is in his possession and ready to go.

[@999lazer]

[@olddadmx5284]

This proves again why the 80' was the Holy Grail of MX!! I was only aware of Honda having a 125cc twin back then....so such a thrill to know know about this 1980 Gilera!! I can't thank you enough for your effort to track down and share this with us!!

[@999lazer]

Thanks for watching :) I really appreciate your kind words:)

[@bigrich7026]

The 90's are where the motor development really took off. We were making 44 HP out of 1997 cr125 and 72 HP from the old 1980's 4- trax motor 250cc, 6 speed with counterbalance ..then we went cr250 because people said that motor wouldn't work in a kart with 5 speed no c/b shaft. So we shut them up too!! That's on C12 fuel. So we still had room to up compression and add octane. We also built 3 experimental cr125's. If anyone came across those they would be confused to say the least. Ever notice your cylinder has a water jacket on the exhaust side that doesn't flow water? Keep hot side hot and cold side cold..fine for motorcorss track...lack luster holding it pinned down the front straight at Fontana! Pull the plugs, open the gasket, machine and tig weld an extra outlet spigot on water pump cover and you have a fully cooled cylinder!! No one ever noticed the extra water hose coming out of our motor..be more observant to the fast guys!!

@@Yatsushiro Interesting, I actually didn't notice that. Now my question is why would you need two exhaust pipes on one cylinder? It's kind of like what Honda does with the CRF 450R with it having two mufflers. Other than looking cool it seems kind of pointless, IMO. :)

Wow! Never knew this bike existed. I raced a 1981 Gilera 125 (single cylinder!) at my local club (VWHSSC) A disc valved screamer if ever there was.. That tiny kickstart was a knightmare to find and use after you dumped it in the mud at Ashdown. Also had to order (well my dad had too) all the spares from the factory, which in those days was a bit of a faff... Thanks for the memories @999lazer 😀

[@othgmark1]

The 250 was the twin carb. One rotary intake and one reed valve. The open bike was more conventional. Single carb if l recall. Rumor had it that the twin carb made 10 more horsepower than other 250's of the era.

[@mikellewis2346]

After seeing this is a rotary style 2stroke i have to say i have a story to tell about a 1965 65cc bridgestone 4 speed manual clutch that was a monster of a mini bike. It was raced on circle tracks with a 200 pound rider back in the 70s and tha man passed away and my uncle got he bike from the mother in 1994. Its realy rare and only had a box of parts with it and havent found much for it. I was so lucky to get to drag race the bike when i was 11 in 94. Its a monster. We had to put 3 foot wheelie bar on it. I could tell you some amazing experiences i had on it. Its still in my uncle shop with a broken crank. I keep a eye out for parts to one day hopefully here it run again.

Hey Max: great video, more more more?!! Yes, I remember the 125 2 cyl. In 1980: it was quite a sensation! With my friend, for whom I was the mechanic in the Netherlands amateur MON leage, we went with his parents to a race in Hechtel, Belgium. There we saw and heard the Gilera in the hands of little giant Gaston Rahier. It sounded great, but Hechtel being a heavy sand track, the party didn't last long like the Norg GP as described in your video. In the same race we saw later Gilera rider Michele Rinaldi on a TGM doing quite well. I just read in the comments about the request for the early German 500 two stroke GP bike from the 60's: would be great if you'd find it! Keep 'em coming and bring smiles to my face? All best wishes! T🐻 from NL.

[@leewaken5059]

This is a fantastic episode!!!!!!!!!!! What a find! Crazy, it was "fired up" AND ridden! Oh My Gosh, so beautiful. When Yamaha was mounting their radiator high, in front of the triple clamp, Gilera placed its cooling system lower.

The Puch dual carb GP machine would be a great one to find! Also, there's was a few Can-Am's from the '70's that used a dual carb setup and while one carb used the "correct" rotary valve induction, the other used a piston port design - find it! If you can't, Can-Am also had a few 500cc two stroke road bikes, finding that would be better than a winning lottery ticket.

Hi Max, Dave. I'm fascinated by some of the bikes you've found, especially this Gilera which I remember from when it was raced. You asked if there were some other bikes we'd like you to seek out; here are my suggestions, which are essentially British engineer built attempts to take on the world!: EMC Sachs British Rival (a Sachs engined 125, raced by the Childs twins, IIRC) Cotton EMX Wilcomotor (if you could find one that runs...) Swindon Swinglink I have a particular interest in the Swinglink, as my father worked for Swindon Racing Engines (the firm run by Jon Dunn, Gary's father) at the time they built the Swinglink. It can be considered the 'father' of lower link rising rate suspension, designed by Mick Mills. The bikes were raced successfully by Gary and Paul Hunt.

Enjoyed the story on the 125 twin. I remember Cycle World did a test on a 500 single Maico with a 3 speed tranny. The comment was it did not need more gears because of the torque. I had to quit riding about that time because of work hours. I lost track of racing at that time for the same time. Really would enjoy more info on this

[@edwardweiszbeck1649]

Besides being expensive for the other manufacturers to redevelop a twin to stay competitive, manufacturers only subsidize racing to be able to sell the so called similar bike off the showroom floors to the masses. But to market more expensive to buy, and even maintain, dirtbikes to the public, it would take some advertising magic. Especially when the single cylinder motocrossers were plenty fast enough for the average Joe to ride offroad on the trails with.
