doohan = stoner.. they are real legend.. hey dude, 800-1000cc is heavy! with no traction control? how many motoGP riders get rid off away on the track?
4 bikes on the front in the final laps — you can't see anything like that on motogp these days. I want to see today's motogp riders race without traction control, anti wheelie, anti-lock braking system. dayum...
@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X or maybe its almost BLACK..like the clouds on the horizon BLACK like the ..A tree its a tree,Mother ..BLACK.. is that you in the buttons box making all that noise?
we don't need 500 CC two stokes, we just need to get rid of the traction control. Today's MOTO GP bikes are so easy to ride, we have 70 pound midgets riding and winning.
@robertoppenheimer Is "easy" to ride a motogp with rid of the traction. But IS VERY DIFFICULT with this bikes doing the same times at every lap. . Next, Stoner don´t use the rid of traction like the others riders for example.
Absolute brilliant stuff. Great era of Moro GP. Seen this over 100 times the past years and it's just as exciting as if watching it for the first time.
@jonesy77777 Lol, so you are comparing the 2001 Honda NSR500 with the late 80s early 90s bikes? Haha. The 2001 NSR500 is the best bike EVER. He had the bike that has won the last 6 championships... but lost to the Suzuki Schwantz almost created, the RGV500, whose rider was Roberts Jr. And then, after dominating 2001 with the best bike ever, the 2 stroke disappeared. But in his world titles, who were his toughest rivals? Sete Gibernau? Melandri? Haha! He can't ride the Ducati, so just imagine it.
What the hell are you talking about, are you suggesting the Honda wasn't a two stroke 500cc racing bike. That was the statement, nothing more and nothing less. You are judged by your peers, and Rossi was and is the greatest rider of all time. Don't quite understand how you switched the topic so completely but just to put you in the right direction, Rossi beat Stoner for the title as many times as Stoner has beat Rossi, except Stoners were light years better than competition
@yowyOw69 You call me ignorant simply because I have a different view. I did not call you ignorant despite disagreeing. The previous poster stated that he would love to see Rossi on a 2 stroke 500, I informed him that he won a title on one. That is a fact. I did not attempt to compare, contrast or do anything else regarding previous generations. You did... on your own. Then you call me ignorant? You are an elitist and clearly wish for a world without freedom of choice and opinion!
@yowyOw69 These are the riders Rossi won championships over, guys with Max Biaggi - 4x 250cc (way more accomplished than Pedrosa) Cap - 3 x WC(125/250) Pedrosa - 2x 250 WC Lorenzo - 1x GP WC (and 2 x 250 WC) Stoner - 2x GP wc Criville - 500cc champ over doohan Hayden - 1x GP wc Kato - 1 x 250wc Melandri - 1 x 250 WC Roberts Jr - 1 x GP WC Not including all of the WS and AMA champs he destroyed(no different than spies and edwards today). The reason these 250 guys aren't GP legends is ROSSI.
@raisinberry777v2 suppose you didnt see kato crash and die by hitting a concrete wall at suzuka AFTER the riders had complained about the concerns for safety there?
As fast as the bikes and racers are today,no one can say these fellows weren't as good as it gets.The 500's were beasts.So much fun to watch,then and now....
God i loved the riding styles of the riders during this era, they were individuals, you could tell who was who. Now, they all look like California Supebike School graduate clones!
Esta foi a melhor época do motociclismo mundial, quando as motos dois tempos estavam no seu preferido campo de disputas. Hoje, tentam, colocam 1000, mudam para 900 e 800cc 4T e nunca chegam a um acordo, em 2012 será uma salada de motos 1000 e o que mais vier, cada um corre com o que quer, uma verdadeira bagunça, e não conseguem trazer de volta o brilho mitológico que as 500cc dois tempos deram ao motociclismo mundial.
after 1:50 you can clearly hear schwantz so crazy on the gas an clutch ;) please listen carefully at that corner exit....wow i go crazy on this few sec`s of sound!!! look at his wheel spin while this haha its to great wooow...kevin was allways my hero and this just proves it one more time - no one ever raced like him
man i remember watching these guys in Shah Alam back in 95.. the bikes were LOUD and looked RUTHLESS. when the venue moved to Sepang and the Shah Alam track got demolished.. i felt really sad. great things always get killed over something stupid (dumb Malaysian politics lead to the Shah Alam circuit demolition) Sepang isnt bad but its just too wide, too big even for F1 standards. watching the 4 strokes in Sepang now makes me yawn.
I managed to record many many races maybe 150 all the way from 1990-2011 , The two stroke were good to watch , more out of control , they would snap in the rear-end like a cut snake-I still watch my 500cc races I put on disc :-) The 2011 moto Gp are faster- casey stoners honda just rides on rails , with the clutch-electronics-and frame-engine technology the repsol honda is faultless. At Qatar Casey wasn't even sweating after the race the difference is HUGE !
GPS traction control is what killed motoGP, not the 4 stroke. if they were still on 2 strokes, it would be just as boring because they'd all be on traction control. it owuld jsut sound different.
moto gp in its prime.... we need to get the 500cc back in moto gp!!!! i mean come on you can race 50 v8 nascars for 100 laps but cant ride 2 strokes!!!
two strokes forever! they are by far the best bikes in the world ever! bring back the 500 smoker then we'll see how good jorge lorenzo is!!!!!!!! rossi is the goat
There will NEVER be a more awesome type of racing machine than the old 500cc GP bikes. Including the old CanAm cars of the late 60s and early 70s. Nothing better than these two-stroke beasts!!!!!

@EJ25RUN different eras -therefore we can be both - and Hailwood and Ago ( though of the same era ) how could one ever not be awe-struck with both those crazy s.o.b.'s? The Doctor's achievements speak for themselves - now you tell me you wouldn't just love to see him make a full recovery , sort out the Ducati and kick Lorenzo ' s ass for a 9th title?
Excellent! Thanks for posting this. Rainey, Schwantz and Doohan, were the perfect trio & really were gripping to watch. Such a shame after Rainey's accident. But Schwantz and Doohan still kept the GP interesting. I think it went flat for the years following Schwanz's retirement. After that, Doohan went on to win again and again unchallenged, and always with a huge lead Cont.....
..... Cont - Watched up close Doohan had such a smooth technique. I never got to see Schwantz other than on tv, but he always had what it took to entertain. Thier last season was the best of the GP for me, especially the last three races which were gripping to the end. I don't have many heros but these are the guys.
Fantastic post thanks! Watch Revvin Kevin drift it out of Spoon on the last lap hehe
The laws of physics were always suspended for Kevin on the anchors of course, still miss the road going Pepsi replica RG500 I had back then, and even with half the horsepower of the real thing scaring meself shitless even pottering around on it lol
Fully agree about the loss of Suzuka, and I'd add the loss of other great tracks like Salzburgring, Spa, the old Assen...
proper riders, proper races, passing every lap. so exciting. we need strokers back! best rossi quote "riding the 500 is like AHHHH FUCK"
