RV2 (STROKE) | Villopoto on a Yamaha YZ250

Ryan Villopoto never raced a full-sized two-stroke as a professional, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have what it takes to make a premix-burning dirt bike fly! We slapped our GoPro Hero 12 Black on Villo's helmet as he broke in the Yamaha YZ250 that he will race at the Two-Stroke World Championships on April 20, only a few short days away!

😂 Thanks for the loop RV, It really reminds me that I don't keep the throttle wide open, nearly as long as I think I do... 👍🏾 BRAAAP

[@romierome-ew1gb]

sounds good tho 😂😂

[@danielarney9729]

elbows down, rolled back and hips, not over the plate, feet off in corners, landing back wheel when they want you to land front. Sometimes I forget how my bike is supposed to sound, and it's supposed to be fun. This is another lesson in how to forget lessons and just go ride.

[@brockpeck7073]

That bike sounds so good!

[@jimrhea5484]

Rides it like a 125. Fling and fly. It's a testament to 2 strokes.

[@markb7067]

Good ride! Love that 2-stroke bark!

[@eric6rock]

You and Nick Tomasunas hands down have the best GoPro POVS. Would love a Tomac on board rip with this mount and view!

[@nvavisuals]

The POV is nice, but the visor is hella distracting.

[@eric6rock]

@@nvavisuals They need the max lens mod, and also RV was running the Visor a little to low and again the vid was 1080p max?! I have footage within that view yes it has the visor but you can see almost everything.

[@23nyte]

@@nvavisuals distracting from what? eating ur chips?

[@nvavisuals]

​@@23nyte What? You don't find a visor bouncing in and out of view constantly distracting from the rest of the image?

[@MANBEARPIG111]

He’s still fast as FUCK

[@brandonfoley8070]

So cool that he's able to ride 2 strokes and really any size bike that he wants. Yamaha on top

[@isaacwilson323]

GEEZ dude is an absolute weapon on anything

[@kevinsnow9157]

RV still shreds like a boss !!!

[@Kawiboy]

RV can ride anything 🔥✊🤙

[@Factory928AC]

Fyyyyyy yaaaaaaaaaa 🔥

[@dirtshaker4616]

Good chance he could race that in outdoors this year and gap half the field

[@romierome-ew1gb]

i love rv style landing with the rear wheel to keep the power down

[@pjsneeringer5942]

BRAAAAAP! HELLS YEAH

[@NickyP902]

So sick

[@antfal-n-everything7154]

Mesmerizing

[@LEANDROYZ98]

Big Villopoto.👏👏👏👏👊👏👌

[@uncleyetti9553]

Sweet!! I still got 5+mins left of the video! Thought it was ending

[@JROC734]

Damn Right!!!

[@ET50rippha]

Thank you

[@mikebrown41182]

Mitch knows how to make a 250 two stroke go fast, that is a similar spec to what Ken rode at the redbull straight rythm! 👌🏼

[@graysonbailey1714]

That last lap was hot

[@DouglasJames27]

Holy Sh_t!!!

[@IdahoDirtBiker9908]

What jetting are you running that thing sounds mint

[@jeremy_beckers]

Really wish he would have won championships for Yamaha.

[@Danwas005]

So what’s the feeling he gets when he need to adjust the clutch cable on the fly? What is his bike doing for him to know?

[@mikelyon5595]

The kid is still fast!

[@Scrubdaddy135]

Check out that clutch hand Swap 😨 finger stays on the trigger 🔥🔥 that’s why I’m no good for that electric ⚡️ thing🤣 #needaclutch

[@aliennetwork08]

wow

[@MrJeffharper47]

I own the same bike and wanted to get some pointers lol.

[@jasonbruno2001]

What is he prepping for?

[@anewperspective247]

Corner speed is still #wickedfast #keeppushing

[@ronmor8237]

Looking way better on the 250 than the 125 IMO

[@daneg]

I know Ryan isn't a full time professional athlete anymore, but I didn't think he'd turn into a smoker.

[@Isaiahstetson]

powerbanding in corner lessons?

[@MrRacer7111]

old skull)

[@joenobody2580]

FIRST 🥇

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

Can't believe RV would stoop as low as using a bike that has a Kickstart and is the same bike from 2004.

[@cat-jh3bi]

That just proves he's not a pretentious look-at-me clown.

[@sebastianclausen9973]

Well when you just want to have fun not being too serious about racing this is the perfect bike. Even glad Yamaha didn't change. Because this bike is the most reliable and cheap bike on the planet.

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

@sebastianclausen9973 but yet Suzukis are reliable, and yet everyone trashes them for having Kickstarts. They say they haven't been changed since 2008. Yet the rmz 450 was remodeled in 2018, and the 250 in 2019. Praise one bike that really is 15+ years old and has a Kickstart. Yet sht on the next for having a Kickstart.

[@popeyeseamaster87]

Yep, just goes to show how boring 4 strokes are!
