Yamaha IT490 Vs Yamaha TT600

[krazykarl65]

I had a yz 490 out of the crate that smoked my buddies tt 500 that was bored and stroked to a 750.POWROLL and all goodies.Three quarters throttle,easy.It also smoked most 750 street bikes in a drag race.

[fragglevooper]

Sweet! I love old dirt bikes. Wish I still had my PE400!!!

[roadyrider]

This is a great classic video! That TT600 had one great rider on it, he was right on the IT490's ass the whole time! When the IT490 first came out, it pummeled the other bikes in it's class but now I'm seeing this TT600 sure giving it a run for it's money!

[booeyats1]

I think the red and white TTs came in around 85-86. I had an IT200 and my buddy had a TT225 and I would kick his ass constantly. It was great cause he was such a loud mouth! Long live the ITs! I have a restored 81 white IT175 just like the one I had when I was a teenager!

[burningsociety]

@booeyats1 I've got an 83 and an 86 red & white just so you know :D

[Northwestguy65]

Nice !!!

[MrSweetleaf92]

what is the difference between the WR, IT, and YZ?

[thesykboy]

I have a TT600 and it is one VERY powerful machine. However, I've always wanted to try out an IT500 since a bike that size in a 2 stroke just sounds SICK!

[tt60059x]

36A-59X the best bike old-stile for me

[yulie851]

[motoxfreak185]

yeh,, they got some go. But they were just so horrible to handle! top heavy, loose tail... great in the open, too much of a rhino on the track.

[v8patrol]

loved it, the old IT's kick ass, great to see I was hanging of my chair hoping the TT didnt come around,

[dixienormousm8]

[mexmurrayrs]

[jfb17042]

Very good riding, It's amazing the TT could even keep the IT in sight.

[charliewspringfield]

[310cadet]

The two guys riding the bikes need some credit here. They were obviously good riders in their time. Both bikes DEMAND respect !!! Dave R

[bigjohnjack0]

fucking great video of the old sckool!!!!!! prob best ive watched on here cheers!!!!!!!!

[greenfoam]

That guy on the TT is doing great, how does he go so fast on a TT?!! The IT 490 was soooooooo much more powerful

[310cadet]

This such a great video. 20 years ago I would have been wanting the TT600 to get in front, these days I am turning back to my 2 stroke roots ! The IT's were such good bikes in their time. Come on, post the original cut with the sound please !

[brebel327]

awsome vid but i would much rather listen to the bikes

[patx29]

I would of expected the IT to do better its lighter and 2stroke right,still the guy on the TT did really well to stay with the other bike,I had a TTR600 belgarda kick start only a pain if I stalled off road,loved that bike I was gonna convert it to an SM but moved abroad oh well.

[WainuiRides]

shit those guys can ride!... great vid!

[Ohtarcalina]

Yes I did great clip! Thx 4 upping!

[maicohunter]

Great stuff !

[sporty05]

Nice! Those two were DUELIN'!

[thumper4str]

I used to ride enduros on a 84 IT490. Awesome video!

[warnzl]

This such a good vid, have had both these bikes in the day. The TT does alright considering the weight gains it had.

[IT490K]

This video would be much better with the original sound, do you have ac opy with the original sound? Long live the IT490!

[PHILPOP2]

Ive got a beat up IT 490 and it still goes well. Doesnt like the slow stuff though

[USmotto]

Sweet.

[GGundamBlue]

Im rebuilding an 1977 IT400D it just needs a top end rebuild...

[AndrewKH85]

I loved when my dad could get his old 490 started, it was so fun to ride except it had crappy tires and weak suspension) his didnt have a headlight or anythin, i guess it had yz parts on it?

[hangonralph]

Fantastic!

Long live the IT!

[YZlover250]

omg thats an amazing amount of power you can see the guy just hanging on lol thanks for posting the vid it really made me see how fast old bikes can be

[Yamaha950]

awesome! ITs for life!!!!!

[yamit465]

Awesome video (I am a little partial to the IT). A very good running/tuned IT490 this is :)

Very cool !

[cujet]

I owned an '83 with a ported engine, pipe and extra fins welded on! (for better cooling) What a fun bike that was. It was tuned to compete with CR500's and it did. I ran 16/42 gearing most of the time and had a tag on it. Thank you for posting this video! It brought back many good memories. While today's bikes are better, the old IT had some really good points.

[groshbass]

You could see that the two stroke was pulling just a little harder out of the hole, I have a YZ 490 and it hooks up the same way, in the long straightaway the IT stayed ahead by the same increment he gained in first gear, a classic example of two stroke versus four stroke, you'll find the same result against the new Fourstrokes as well, Big bore two strokes are awesome !

[turbosuperiority]

Nice find! The IT490 was an amazing bike with a ridicules amonut of power. Thanks for posting this vid.
