The XR is holding its own vs the 2 strokes....its the rider as well..you're very good!

I had a 1980 RM 250. Those old 2strokes are bad ass! You have to be a real stud to ride one!!

Great footage. You can tell why that back in the 70's they didn't even bother with going up against 2 stokes with 4 stroke engines. I had the chance to ride both back then and a 250 4 stroke was nothing like riding a 250 2 stroke bike. To a new rider like me the 2 stroke was scary to ride. The 4 stroke was powerful but was more controllable.

Love hearing those old screamers! I think I was raised on a Yamaha 60 that looked like the bike next to you at the start. Good times...

Ah yes....the ever famous 2-strokes stomping the 4-strokes into the ground and running away from them. Those Yamaha YZ-80s, YZ-100s, YZ-125s and YZ-250s are wicked fast! I had a 1980 YZ-80 and it would walk on and keep up with 100cc and 125cc 4-stroke enduros.

I have a 1988 XR 250R That has had some porting work bigger jets it Runs rather well & Will still keep up with and pass the modern day bikes. It's just a dinosaur, Rides like a board with a good shock pro link but hey 32yr old bike. starts on 1st or second kick w/o decompression cable on fresh rebuild about 30hrs.

I have a 1983 xr80. Had it for over 13 years. Finally got the income to save up for a bigger one. It's a 1997 xr250r, over bored to 277. We'll see once the snow clears.

lol you can see that yz was a pain to ride.......powerband like an on/off switch. Your either on the gas or completely off. Acceptable for motorcross, but for woods riding, the xr would be more fun.

Yamaha YZ 2-strokes aren't hard to ride at all. They are very fast and will run away from many other bikes fairly easy.....even bigger displacement bikes.

I bought my sons Pursang bikes there Projects as they wear going cheap but for me still expensive. Unfortunately failed miserably it was yeah Grandad bikes and am Son they are Pursang he said You keep them and will take a 4 stroke against your 2 stroke anyday. The image of the father strangling Bart Simpson flashed in my head for a second lol

Every corner has a broken 2 stroke in it. The smoker your passed on the last lap even broke. They should call them broke joke 2 stroke.
