my 5 year old has just about 2 weeks of riding and already maxed the pw50. He listens and wants to go faster. He naturally kicks the leg out in the tight turns and sits high with elbows up, it's a joy to watch. Taking him to a local dirt track to let loose.

[@aussiehardwood6196]

I hear you about 'being to far gone' with regard to 2-strokes. The smell of burnt mix was impregnated in my mind from crashes way back when I had a Pee-wee 50. Just the smell if it today takes me to so many places and times in my life. However I've been subbed to Stark-V's channel to watch this new tech unfold. They are taking orders for the new 60hp & 80hp Motorcross bike. No gear changes or clutch, huge torque, better distribution of weight to make the bike feel lighter blah blah blah. Do I want one...not really, but I'd love to see a good video of ARiemann1 flogging the guts out of one, especially a model with a headlight.

My Friend you are like a fine whisky you get better and better with age. The last time i remember to see a guy rip a two stroke 125 like you just did was James Stewart with his pro circuit KX 125. The quality of the video, sound, scenery and above all the sound of a YZ 125 under full load ( no motocross bike sounds as good as a two stroke 125 ) are a thing of beauty. Yamaha Motor Corp Japan should hire you to do full scale global ads of the two strokes they are losing a fortune by not to. Cheers from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

[@BrianLampright913]

There is room for BOTH. As much as I LOVE MY 2-STROKES, the fact is that the NOISE of ICE bikes prevents us from riding in so many areas. Electrics are going to open up a whole new world of riding for us. Imagine a motocross racing track in the middle of a city exactly like a golf course, that's impossible today with gas bikes, but completely possible with electrics. I own both and I love both. In fact I just picked up a KTM125XC for one of my twin daughters and the other is riding electric Surron and Freeride.

I had a similar experience as a kid. Decided to take my kx80 to town. All trails except 1 short paved road. I decide to pull a wheely down the road minus a helmet and properly sealed exhaust. The cops were writing a ticket to a guy for riding on the road as I screamed past. He caught up to me on the trail and explained after his ticket was written. I stashed my bike in a friends garage and sat in front of the gas station watching the cops drive around and around the block looking for me. That was my last trip using that route.

[@driftke70]

I think the march towards electric bikes is pointless for 2 reasons. First, when youre charging with stuff like coal, gas, or solar and wind power youre still unenvironmental. The mining for batteries and rare earth elements to produce any of these things is the same. Whether youre burning oil or making silicone panels filled with cadnium etc. The only way its viable is some sort of capacitor charged by nuclear power. Thats the only green option. Secondly, in Australia we have examples of mountain bike trails having local green groups trying to get rid of them, putting puncture traps and stringing wire between trees. This means that the hippies and Karens are never going to be happy. Your bike can be dead silent and leave very little roost or marks and they will still complain about us being in the bush or being your next door neighbor etc. Your tracks will be unsightly to the street scape, your motocross track will bring too much traffic or some crap. People that NEED to be appeased, can NEVER be appeased.

[@jimbo4203]

Exactly , someday electric may be cleaner if battery tech improves. But definitely not now

[@bengibson3955]

Another awesome vid Adam, up to your usual standard. I’d been riding motorbikes since 6 years old with one of the first PW50 and a glorious MX80 Yamaha..The 2-stroke bug really bit me hard on my 8th birthday when my dad went against mum’s wishes and turned up with a beat- up 1980 RM80. I was about 20cm from being able to sit comfortably on the RM, but dad & I rebuilt the engine and tidied it up. Mum was frightened to watch me ride it but it was a different time when it comes to commonsense (of which dad & I had none) and taking responsibility. I was waaaay too small but I chose to ride it faster than I should. I got hurt a couple of times but learned from it. I’m now 46 and been riding pretty much ever since. I’ve had a serious buster a couple of years ago after a dog attacked me halfway around a bitumen corner. My wife/kids were told I was not gonna make it several times, which something I will never forget. I can’t walk very well or very far now, but the mighty KTM 500 I was riding at the time is still sitting in the garage, all fixed up. I’m not selling it, or the 300 or the old kx250. I might have to tone it down a bit, but the freedom of heading off-road or into the roads less travelled with a shrieking 2-stroke or a thumping 4-stroke between the legs is something I’ll never grow tired of. Your videos were instrumental in keeping me looking forward while I negotiated a long road of recovery. Keep up the awesome work!

It might missout on some of the core things that makes combustion engines so enjoyable but it also opens up for new possibilities.

I got my first bike RM80HD that also was 39yrs ago. Ive never had a 4stroke and NEVER will. As for the plug in the wall bike not ever. I weathered the 4stroke propaganda on a 2stroke and now today most of my mx mates are back on 2strokes. It makes you feel alive on 2strokes.

I'm.with you buddy , who wants half a milk float ? The sound , smell and hit of a 2 stoke can't be matched , ride on !!

Kick ass video!🤘 I'm with you brother.

I love two strokes and I dont mind four strokes but electric really boils my blood. even the highest performance batteries have around 1/30 the energy density of gasoline so no electric bike could ever outlast a gas bike and because of the batteries power output limitations and the fact that they need to be massive and heavy in a dirtbike makes it almost impossible for an electric to outperform a gas bike ever. electric motors are lighter and smaller with the same power but the batteries physically become as good or even close to as good as gas, and with bikes having a vary large engine to total size ratio there is no way an electric bike could beat its power because the motor has to be smaller to make up for the crappy battery. I am sick of these electric dirtbike brands lying to everyone just because they get unlimited protection from the media. after people start switching to electric bikes and electric cars become more common people will realize how the suck and al the downsides have been hidden from them so stay strong, combustion motors will stay!

I’ve had a Tesla for 2 years and besides changing the tyres I haven’t had to do anything but plug it in. Still waiting for these issues you’re talking about to arise. Oh but my Ford ranger has had a transmission and turbo replaced in two years because it’s a bucket of shit. And you’re wrong about the batteries and hp. Sound like a whinging woman

Google Stark Varg if you haven't already.

[@KTMsoldier1988]

Gotta love how the Stark Bike comes out and they say its the fastest dirtbike ever and will beat any 4 stroke.....well no 💩. You designed a bike that puts out 30 more horsepower than any current dirtbike and then you call it a fair fight. Tesla did the same thing with their cybertruck pulling against a ford f 150...the cybertruck was AWD against a 2wd ford and the tesla weighs over 1000 lbs more and had super agressive tires meaning more traction, But they hyped it up as a fair competition to push electric sales.

[@heltech9514]

@@KTMsoldier1988 yeah you do have to love the Stark. It looks good and they're saying it's going to have the performance to match it. It has to beat the current performance of the 450's since that's what everyone will compare it to. But it has to be rideable power and it has to last more than a tank does now. If you're into racing then this sort of new development is a part of the competition of the race industry. Much like the YZF400 was 20-odd years ago.

[@garbageman3992]

@@heltech9514 I have and I dont believe the claims, the alta redshift claimed much higher performance than it actually did and the battery life was terrible compared to advertised, plus it was expensive

#1 complaint that is shutting down riding areas is noise!! Electric will be a game changer. Embrace the future Adam.

[@wraith511802003]

That is a lie, the noise it not a problem. They attitude of those who DONT do it is. They are jealous NIMBIS. No in my back yard. Mufflers when used properly make all quiet.

[@KTMsoldier1988]

If supercross and motocross switch to all electric it will kill the sport! Who wants to go watch that? The sound and the smell is half the enjoyment.

[@wraith511802003]

@@KTMsoldier1988 That ironically is the goal, they have to KILL all to rebuild what in thier own image.

@@wraith511802003 Reality is that is not going to happen. The evidence is everywhere, especially in small urban towns/cities near mx tracks and trails. The complaints are the same. NOISE!!

[@wraith511802003]

@@imds123 None of that affirms anything. There many reason, number one is TAX revenue. TRACKS dont make alot for the county. Developers grease palms BOOM track close. Nothing to do about noise that is cover.
