I miss the 2-stroke sport bikes. I don't think the riders today understand how outstanding they were. The power came on like a turbo charger and it could throw you if you weren't ready. Fantastic video!! People forget it was these bikes which started the world wide craze for speed.

[@hermanman8235]

Too bad it won't be THAT nice to the environment..for that almost twice the power for the given c.c but hey volcanoes also pollute the world isn't ?. love that scream and narrow power band...🌞💪

[@glenholmgren1218]

@@hermanman8235 Didn’t have that narrow of a power band compared to other 2-Strokes - had YPVS variable exhaust port height.

[@hermanman8235]

Yep...I miss that point . thanks for the info 👍

[@azonesuperdia]

And that's why i wanted a 2 stroke as my first bike! i love these damn machine and everytime one passed me, i smile listening to it lol

[@Dunstire]

Not in a million years would i strap myself aboard one of these.They're insane!

[@MrSully62333]

Cannot get enough of that sweet sound, brings back happy memories of the 2 stroke road bike days.

[@persistrich]

Holly shit man that bike is quick! The rev counter was a joke when PV kicked open! AWESOME

[@Johnnywhamo]

That 2 stroke sound...ya baby!

[@panchnl]

What a dream bike. Nothing beats two-stroke. Awesome!

[@RacingSM]

This Yamaha RD 500 V4 is homologated / plated and it is street legal here in Portugal. We also are finishing another 500 project, a Suzuki RG 500 Gamma which is also street legal ( it's homologated / has plate ). The 500 you were thinking were the racing models from WGP, completely different stuff, ours are production models much worse and less powerful.

[@video9009]

I had one of these back in the early 90's. I remember one thing: no power, no power, no power, and then..; POWER, POWER, POWER!!! Loved it..

[@azonesuperdia]

Still had it?

[@johnbuss8789]

god I miss that screaming sound...watching this made me feel I was back on my rd500...and seeing that front wheel come up when u open her up is just how it was...

[@joelunchboxx]

Oh boy, better get my RD's running. Love the sound of a two-stroke just burbling along.

[@LoneRevD]

Wow when this comes on the pipe it does so with authority! It spans those last 4k revs in a blink. Really nice Man, thanks for sharing that with us!

[@xtazyfeeding]

oh-my-god that must be one of the best sound a motorcycle can make! :O

[@Caluma122]

Easily one of my favourite videos on KZbin....easily

[@volksquadman]

The beauty of two stroke acceleration & sound at its best on the road-Muinto bien!!!!!! Bet it smells good too. Much respect.

[@losi8ightyew]

Dat powerband. 3 Holy shit.

[@zFinisheD]

Sickest 2 Stroke oh my god, sooo powerful!!!!

[@kevinhermanto7203]

NICEE!!! i love how the engine rushes into 12k rpm..

[@Jona2t]

you should do a "shifting tutorial" video with your RC toy!

[@buckbundy8642]

I love watching that tach needle!!😍👍🏻👍🏻

[@RacingSM]

Thanks! More 500 ( Yamaha RD 500 V4 & Suzuki RG 500 Gamma ) videos to come very soon ! Cheers

[@GBmotorsports2604]

[@dazhearn5431]

[@Revanche2strokes]

That sound alone is amazing!!! Throw in the power, lightweight and uniqueness and it's as close to mechanical perfection/Heaven as one can get. Good Job guys! WUSSUP GUNNER?

[@jacquemardcelien]

[@sergioparto1647]

[@sirfanatic]

such a peice of history loving it.. espically the accelleration on the white paint an got wheel spin haha classic..

[@martinclk50]

[@Gramidle]

[@leefortes]

Muuuito bom BroLy, muuuito bom!!! Show de moto! Musical!

[@WICKEDMS]

AMAZING! GREAT JOB!

[@thandle46]

Lovely to see and hear the big LC being thashed.......fantastic

[@AudiophileTubes]

WOW! I was waiting for the 'SONIC BOOM'! Nothing like a classic 2-stroke!

[@RacingSM]

AudiophileTubes Yes ... "Sonic Boom" is a good definition for it's power delivery / kick @ 8500 rpm till the end .. ehe

[@RacingSM]

Power and torque urges @ 8500/9000rpm and it stops @ 12000rpm The bike has been upgraded since this video, now it has 34mm carburetors, overall engine is better, soon will make more videos, also with Suzuki RG 500 Gamma

[@timmwhite9218]

...and back when Kevin Schwantz was in Houston at Hurst Yamaha and Marine, he could make these things scream. The bike I saw him ride the most though was a TT 500 with Fox Factory Forks and every trick aftermarket part available to mankind! He would put a milkcrate next to it, kick the beast over, climb on, click it in gear, wheelie through both of the shops' plastic strip 'airlocks', around the shop, hang a left on Bingle Street, all without setting the front wheel down! One very talented rider/racer. He used to call me Heli-spark (due to my tig welding abilities.) Be well and God bless y'all!

[@angryfishmonger]

Has to be one of the best versions of the Yamaha 2-stroke V4 500 I have seen. That bike is hazing the rear tire as it pulls when on the pipe. Well done.

[@FerdBronkeh]

What do you mean hazing the rear tire? with smoke from the pipe?

[@angryfishmonger]

The rear tire is spinning fast enough to smoke as it comes on the pipe. The power-band on two-strokes is narrow but very intense.

[@SmallEngineRacer]

angryfishmonger and again the smoke is possibly from the pipes at high rpms because a stock RZ does have the same look view from the back!!!!! but i say this one may have enough power to spin the tire too but I doubt it at the speed is going.

[@RacingSM]

SmallEngineRacer On this video the 500 only spinned on the street "white zebras" pedestrians pavement due to it's different material which is more slippery than the asphalt itself.

[@angryfishmonger]

Just at the one minute mark, and again at 3:15, it appears that in both first and second your getting rear wheel spin. The tach jumps as though the rear has broken loose. You're right about the other views that looks like two-stroke oil with a blue tinge to it. Im not riding it so I could be wrong. Still an awesome bike.

[@jasward3826]

That sounds f in lovely, I've had quite a few motor bikes in my time from a Honda ss 50 to a Yamaha fj 1200 and lots in between and the best fun I ever had on I bike was on my 350 N power valve, I'd love to have another LC even a 125.

[@NubbyTV101]

A total wheelie machine. Love em.

[@glenholmgren1218]

Had a couple friends who had them - had to change the front sprocket for a bigger one if you didn’t want to wheelie under full acceleration

[@dylansaey3702]

this must ride like a dream. I love the sound !

[@RacingSM]

Yes, riding this modified 500 V4 is a living dream for a 2-Stroke entusiast. :)

[@bluebee4346]

What a fantastic sound. I want one

[@delianker84]

best 2stroke video!!!!!!!!!!!! NO 1

[@larsnef8777]

This 2-Stoke 500GP Bikes wahs The Coolest Fastes and Loudest MOTO GP KLASS ( EVER !!! ) I NOW I RIDE IT !!! EVERY FROM THIS BIKES ARE A BEAST 😉😉😉 👍👍👍👌👌✋...

[@jessebob3280]

wow! ive got a NSR 150 sp and love the powerband kick on that, i couldnt imagine what it would feel like on that beast!?

[@ralphvon1]

Man !! I WISH that I still had my H2's ! -ralph

[@garyhicks789]

I saw one of these out on the road when they first came out with a sidewinder sidewheel (making it a three wheeler), it had L plates and a kid on it who had been riding for a week (it was his dads). Legal loophole in england at the time, I caught up with him after ten miles on my xj550. I'd like to say the rd250 was awesome in england when it came out, 120mph + from a learner legal machine, learners got bumped down to 125's not long after (80's)

[@mitchthorpe1995]

There's always a lounge chair expert out there, I didn't see or hear any issues with the shifting.. nice bike man, I enjoyed the vid

[@MrRg500]

Nice sound!!

[@SaveMeSteak]

best video ever. i watched this like 100 times for that sound! subbed

[@nidchaorai]

I love this sound ^^

[@baydata4]

yes! this reason i like 2 stroke

[@RacingSM]

Hi, The firing order of this Yamaha RD 500 V4 is stock ( 180º ). We are finishing our SUZUKI RG 500 GAMMA project, which will be Screamer ( 90º ) firing order.

[@mad4tarmac]

like your way of thinking!!!!!did a old rg with a cr 500 but it cost me so much on rebuilds ended up putting a xtz 660 in it not as mad but stayed running

[@dubaholicstyle]

What a ripper,...!! love it!!

[@ManMultiBusa]

@2StrokRight with ya bud first bike i ever went out on was a gt 750 watarbottle at 14 years old in 1977 WOW had only ever been in cars ,but i guess im just trying to say that thanks to that gt 750 im still riding today its a nice memory ride safe lads.

[@paoloventurin2472]

[@PAlexandre41]

OMG!!! Just love to hear the scream of it!

[@XhristinaMacey]

My little rd125s big brother , awesome

[@raidkoast]

+I Macey My RD 125 puts me on my toes me a bit even after a while.. Can't even imagine this monster.

[@omorjit]

Nothing like the nostalgia of the 80's 2-strokes. I've got a tuned Blackbird now i'm an old git, but soo miss the noise,smell and getting the front wheel skywards on my RD. :)

[@SquillyMon]

Your Blackbird doesn't bow down to many other machines tho...if any actually.

[@omorjit]

That's very true Squilly. After many years on two wheels,it's the best all rounder i've had.bar none! A Superb bike,that even with it's size and weight,does everything very well. :)

[@SquillyMon]

A TDT It SURELY does, it sure does. I have owned a 97' XX (First year of the Bird) for over 10yrs now) The bike is supremely under rated and basically IGNORED completely to be honest. Honda really doesn't mess around in the Engineering Department, they never have and I am an active life long fan and owner of many many Honda products. The Blackbird is Scary Fast in a Straight Line and I've not met its equal on the streets in random short shot speed battles. My machine is modified a bit also...I'd say an additional 20hp at my rear wheel? Power is currently 171 at the business end. Rear sprocket is geared for about 204 at Redline... and this is from the Carbureted Model ! I almost picked up a Fi model but couldn't justify getting rid of mine because it hadn't done anything wrong or that I had a complaint about...so...I kind of forgot about it. The only reason I would want the Fuel Injection was for a Future Turbo...Maybe someday...who knows. More for Mechanical project fun other than Need...bec it surely doesn't need more power...that engine would just be such an excellent candidate for a Turbo with its smoothness and distinct sound. Back to Engineering...The Blackbird is one of the only...or rather one of the last bikes to actually have a Finished Painted Engine...despite you not being able to see the damn thing! That is a lot of extra effort and added cost...Its also pretty damn classy if you ask me... As are the Dual Counter Balance Shafs inside the engine...when they could have easily eliminated them without any vibration problem. They are only present to provide an extra high level of smoothness that any Gear Head or Motorcyclist should appreciate. By far the Smoothest engine I've ever run, Bar None. Electric Smooth at 100Mph and Beyond...The only Vibes you deal with are from the Airflow if your jacket pokes outside the "pocket" of still air...and that pocket is large. Yes, the CBRXX was and still is a Technological Tour de Force...I don't care what anyone says...or rather does not say about the machine. As most do not know it ever existed...at least that is the feeling I get whenever I try to explain to people what Sport Bike I have currently. Sorry to write a book, but its not often I bump into a fellow XX owner at random and or outside of dedicated websites. Well...Stay safe, Under Triple Digits (yea right) and keep the Rubber Side DOWN my friend !

[@lucianohor1]

que som lindo do moto, e sobe giro muito rápido!

[@ahmetkaraca8319]

Amazing ...!

[@antoni4930]

The sound ❤️

[@mycspree]

this bike is bad ass i'm just lucky enough to have a 77rd400 and it,s a hand full gotta love two stroke love the power

[@gixxerboy555]

The one and only....DREAM-MACHINE....hey Yamaha...when you gonna reproduce a serie of that IMMORTAL 2-stroke-MACHINE?

[@sinbad64]

EXCELLENT !!!... thanks for your uploads... are you still working on, or doing anything more to the Yamaha RD500? -- I hope you are because although I like all the motorcycles you work on, the Yamaha's my favourite and I LOVE it!

[@vonKragh]

If you keep on driving like that in public traffic, you might not get very old! Because this is totally insane driving this way in between the other members of the trafic.

[@psycronizer]

I have had the awesome pleasure of riding seriously wanked out RGV-250 N model....with the full Suzuki Hop-Up Kit parts all added..and it was just a crazy insane weapon in the twisties, I was so lucky to get that bike, and then come across a guy in Murray Thorn Suzuki who had a lot of the Hop Up Kit parts for sale..who could resist? I was also lucky in that I had a well paying job in a Lab..that just happened to have a really really nice paved road squirming its way up and down it...about 20 kilometers from top to bottom..that was my hunting ground haha..I never got the chance to ride a 500 though...and I think the Yamaha engine config was better than the square four with two cranks on the Suzuki RG...surely the V4 has to be better than a square 4 yeah?

[@rexeverything100]

what a noise scary power. just awsome

[@AlessandroGrieco]

un video stupendo...

[@RacingSM]

Thanks.:) Soon there will be more HD videos of the RD 500 V4, we've upgraded the bike / engine with some goodies. We are almost finishing our Suzuki RG 500 Gamma Square tuned and very light .. we'll also make some HD videos of it so be in touch ! ;)

[@glenholmgren1218]

The Gammas were Totally INSANE! Even crazier than the Yammy!!!

[@robh6206]

wow awesome

[@to3cutter]

F**IN* AWESOME BIKES YOU GOT ... OMFG.. pieces of history...
