Real bikes that were raced by real men! Long before all sorts of restrictions were put upon us. To me they really are the good old days. Thanks for the video!

A proper engineer talking to another proper engineer, top quality Dave 👍

At the 9:15 mark in this video you explained why I once went on a 2 hour ride on my 250cc two-stroke dirt bike with a passenger and we both got covered in two-stroke oil, especially her. We are still together 12 years later. I knew that was real love back then. Any woman who is willing to go through mud with you and get covered with oil is a keeper.

Pure motorcycle nostalgia. Took me back to my formative teen years. They were, and still are, so raw and yet highly engineered for purpose. Wonder what the young folk of today will have for their memory inducing classics in 40/50 years time?

Evening Dave……oooh GP porn……remember that TT winning bike, great video content 👍💪🇮🇲👌

Great to hear these bikes run. Shame the RG500 wouldn't play ball and start on the Saturday or Sunday, but fantastic to see the older Suzuki and Yamaha circulating the track. I think John Hopkins certainly enjoyed the TZ750 by the look of it!

Another great video Dave. For fans of a certain age these 2 strokes bring back wonderful memories. I was on the island in 81 and saw Mick win the TT. Got a photo of him up at Jurby airfield midweek sorting the carburation on the RG somewhere

Blue smoke and vicious power bands...love it Dave, what a cracking line up.

[franklinwilkerson]

Wow! That was probably the best and most informative piece on these incredible bikes from that incredible GP era. Thank you my good sir!

Nothing like a nice 2 stroke racing machine they sound like a proper racing motorcycle 🏍

[DeathsStalkerRVT]

Love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning 😂

I was a 16 year old when these bikes were ruling grand Prix. I also went to the Translantic Trophies at Brands and a few go as well. Maybe it's the rose tinted glasses, but it all seemed so much more exciting and accessible then. Sheene was my idol growing up. Never replaced him either

[chrisbentley]

Wow Dave
Thank you so much
Another great video
Took me back to 1976!
Two stroke heaven love it

RG XR Mamola is the later 'stepped' square four motor. The TZ looks like a 'D' spec production bike (rear swinger apart) like Reads RG, whereas the OW31 versions were factory specials only made available to works supported riders.

[rungassamydonovan]
