Ryan Villopoto - First Ride 2015 KX450F-SR

[@scaniajon]

Ryan is doing the right thing both for the world of motocross and his own development by going to MXGP. Super excited to see him over here!

[@MrMxRockstar]

This is the reason why Villopoto is a pro and mulitchampion!

[@MrMotox320]

Good to see the champ back rding again. Good luck RV

[@BCabral43]

RV2, Best wishes during your stint in the GP's everyone is routing for you to bring a championship back to the U.S.A

[@jonsmith5509]

Im a hard core Dungey fan but jeeze he looks like the fastest rider in the world currently in this vid

[@MXraw54]

Fingers and toes crossed he stay's injury free all season as this is building up to be a big one. Just what the GP's need. Shame Herlings isn't moving up to. If Ryan does win it then he should be declared the "goat" because to win against the likes of Cairoli and paulin who have mastered these these tracks for years, would be sum thing special.

[@danjoe5519]

Carmichael won 15 championships and would lap the field. He won every single outdoor championship he entered.....10 times...... And it was mostly on 2 strokes which just makes more awesome.

[@anthonysiracuse1344]

danjoe5519 But it's not significant that he was on a 2 stroke because that was the bike of the time.

[@Xxmyarek17xX]

wide open!!!! wow bike sounds so crisp!

[@Midoribike45]

il a une technique de pilotage impressionnante, bravo Ryan!

[@ArmathuX]

Go Villopoto! Kawi hero

[@6789uiop]

The dirt looks like the old MXGP track in Monroe, WA... lol. But Gary & Posha would've groomed it until body & bike were comfortable. Good move Ryan. This will be wonderful for you bro. My good friend teaches jazz at a university in Holland and loves it - and he's from N Seattle.

[@trulsstvold933]

guess who is back=) R V Now u been gone for a long time so u have some movie shooting to do Villopoto=) big fan from Norway=)

[@ruisousa6607]

[@lifeon2wheels250]

[@jagermorgan8504]

[@pimschoeber7920]

1:51 stopping power 🙀

[@AndreyZzz]

Let's! Ryan make them all

[@CptJohnson23]

This track is just ~30 minutes from my house :( Would have loved to see him there :D

[@panupong93motoclip66]

the king

[@vevohoeyo]

anyone who rides moto x will understand how fast this is. balls out hammer down rv is pumped

[@kwaker450f]

AWESOME !!!!!!

[@ent6576]

Glad he's not riding in the AMA this year. Finally gives dungey a chance to win another championship..

[@brownmx32]

When is the first mxgp race he will be in? I wanna see him dominate the first race.

[@theletterseee]

450f-SR? were going back in time? what's next the new kdx 220 SR?

[@seththemess1]

You rock Ryan when will u come back to the us and race reply please

[@peanutjellyman]

He looks awfully good seeing it's the first time he's thrown a leg over a bike since may

[@dirtbikebraap7926]

Can someone please tell me the name of the Track? Awesome riding Ryan! Keep up the great work and best of luck for 2015!

[@davidstubeshow]

looking fast.

[@SteelyEyedMissileDan]

Why does he whip the tail out so far when he's so low in the air? Is there any performance benefit to that it is he just showing off?

[@nathanycata1047]

less air

[@nathanycata1047]

less air

[@TaylorLoftisKim]

1:49 Look at that leg come off the bike.

[@nigelfiles8672]

Hanging it out looks sick

[@FlyinColorz]

I think he does that to avoid smashing into that wall

[@Grumptr0nix]

***** looks like the other leg...

[@tonyv1559]

***** it's his left leg to counter balance the Gs of going around that turn. i think that's what ***** meant

[@SparksX18]

***** It looked irregular to me.

[@artsteblik5757]

Villopoto = Rocket

[@kellenwalgers1555]

He is amazing an hes machine whoa wish I had it :p

[@svvitchio]

@ 0:07 serious lumber jack is serious.. Cairoli's got some work to do now.

[@danoincali831]

So is ryan staying in the u.s. or going to europe?

[@Turbyo]

Europe /:

[@yogi6272]

1:47-1:55 my fav part

[@Charlescope]

Antonio Cairoli- Fuck

[@blevyzgos]

Why? WTF wrong with you. They both are supreme riders and that makes MX more and more attractive.

[@bera001]

because fuck? cairoli deserves respect, may the best win .fanculo not from sports

[@nigelfiles8672]

Bike sounds like its lagging compared to his usa bikes?

[@P1N60]

...i think thats because sand and dirt.

[@user93634]

The motor setups, suspension, everything is night and day different because of how the tracks are over in Europe.

[@beany118118]

Justin Moran what do you mean no race gas? do you mean super-unleaded fuel? if so, we have plenty of it in Britain xD

[@nigelfiles8672]

Cheers guys for the positive feedback just wanted others opinions.

[@keith80alexander]

Real fast for a European track looks like Belgium area?

[@wazigbazig7061]

Grevenbroich Germany

[@seanfreeman2942]

Not a huge poto fan, but he's gonna fuck shit up in Europe

[@beany118118]

can anyone tell me the difference between KX450f and KX450f-SR? thanks :)

[@mozer30]

The SR's always used to be kawasaki's factory mx machine's, eg SR 250 as opposed to the KX 250 production bike. So i presume its to do with the fact he's on a factory machine. Here's a link to some of the factory Kwacks of years past www.flickr.com/photos/tblazier/sets/72157631065217302/detail/?page=6

[@beany118118]

ah right thanks :)

[@gianluciano]

wich gear? 7°???

[@tymotoboy53]

can someone tell me what the KX450F-SR stands for? I've raced my whole life so I understand bikes and I'm about to buy the new 2015...but what is the SR all about? :) Sick video Ryan. I miss the younger days when I was on the 85 and you were on 125's and you were flying past me. So fun growing up and watching you race :)

[@user93634]

The SR is basically Kawasaki's way of saying it is their factory race bike. Experimental geometry frames can be made and used if it is listed as a different title and still be within production rules of FIM without out subject to being protested by another manufacturer or FIM itself (like how factory ktm uses ktm 450sx-f factory edition as the title of the bike in FIM sx and AMA mx series). It is basically how factory teams get away these day's with building race legal works bike like the old 80's and 90's two stroke era.

[@tymotoboy53]

thanks for the info brother. Most people would've called me a noob or something but I just wasn't sure what that was all about. Europe is very different with their regulations so that's really understandable. Thanks again for the info Gunnar I really appreciate it

[@tymotoboy53]

hahaha he is indeed the most special racer on the planet. Good one :)

[@mozer30]

[@alexnilson3192]

what is SR???

[@amazon940]

The SR is basically Kawasaki's way of saying it is their factory race bike i think

[@bittechslow]

1:49 holy crap.

[@gb1810]

Wow. That's a treacherous track.

[@roost24]

GO RV2!

[@greenbuffalo2854]

I'm really not sure how he will stack up against everyone else in the GP's. He hasn't raced the MXoN in a few years so we haven't seen him up against a lot of the competition, but I hope he DESTROYS everyone.

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

There sure is a lot of Crap along the track. Old car tires were Never a motorcyclist's friend. Neither were hay bales, thank God for tuff blocks. Then we see wooden posts in the ground. Those are spears, waiting for you to land on them. Many tracks looked like this 20 years ago. Glen Helen looked like this in c1999. But all these objects along the track are only going to hurt, not help, a racer.

[@orange5ah]

Ha ha some one to finally step on cairoli feet! Love it! Cairoli was to chicken shit to challenge anyone else....was happy to sit there and not challenge himself! Lol love it! Need someone to challenge herlings now too he another easy glory hunter!!!!

[@leonardomangani7742]

Ryan in europe

[@camrannewman5756]

why know?

[@sebass6120]

Good luck rv2

[@keith80alexander]

Silly me sure does

[@holdengr]

I know what he wants to prove but going to Europe will be like a pro pitcher doing a stint in the minors leagues. If you think he blew away the competition last year wait until he laps the filed in Europe.

[@theletterseee]

wont happen. i'm a diehard RV fan but I don't think he'll win the championship there. Cairoli has won 8? RV hasn't had to travel like MXGP requires by going to different countries and riding different tracks with different flows. RV has ridden every track in america for the nationals, the supercross they change but still same idea.. This is new EVERYTHING, new team(EU guys not kawi US anymore) new competition, new languages, new fans. He's going to do well but he won't dominate.

[@theletterseee]

and he wanted to retire, this was kawasaki's way of keeping him racing for another year.

[@HBInHD.]

Kyle Maxson ***** he trains to be prepared for everything.

[@twag0735]

Kyle Maxson traveling country to country? you do realize that in Europe traveling country to country is like traveling from Arizona to California...... And each state has completely different tracks. driving 30 minutes here in AZ can give you 6 different types of tracks and different dirt, ect. I think hell do just fine! XD

[@4touchdowns1game29]

Kyle Maxson hasn't traveled? you do know traveling across the states is just as far as anywhere in Europe.

[@GMONEYFIFTYFOUR]

By the time the season starts he will know the tracks and the bike(GP bikes are different) and he should wax those mofo's, go RV!

[@mxwelch]

Burnt, several reasons. One they don't flex at all and no flex is very bad. Two, they have production requirements and they are very expensive. That would probably raise the cost of the bike several grand.

[@DaveBegotka]

Sounds snotty and looks fast.......if I was not old broke and stupid I would still prefer a KX 500

[@imdowncow011]

how can a guy from the us watch the gp's this year

[@BandanaBoris]

So funny to see all those 'muricans rant about him beeing so fast retrospective...he got whooped hard in the GP Series.

[@theghost702]

Yeah thats why hes won every motorcross des nations hes been in lol, its a different style of racing over there, brand new tracks for him, and an entire different experience.... No foreigner has come to america and won a championship their first year either doesnt mean there a bad rider or they're worse then the other riders, takes time

[@KSH172]

Remember that time when he beat all you Europeans on a 250

[@masonrupp7812]

all over the place 😳

[@FrontPlayer01]

Considering how I´m "performing" on this track :'-(

[@Quasi-stellar_object]

I'm glad he went for MXGP, now he will be finally defeated and USA fans once again realize EU riders are better than their so called local stars.

[@thenikkidixx]

And you are so sure he will be defeated?

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

great sense of humor.......

[@brandonelmore3383]

That was a good laugh!

[@Quasi-stellar_object]

Brandon Elmore Because youre nob in motocross ;)

[@cmv1810]

Sorry to break it to you but outdoors Villipoto is flat out the fastest, anywhere. Im a hardcore Dungey and Stewart fan, but outdoors, unless he crashes, he will not be beat, maybe once in a while, but not much. He will beat on the competition over in europe just like he did the last time he raced outdoors here in the U.S.
