- Nine-time Grand Prix World Champion Valentino Rossi recently jumped at the chance to ride Eddie Lawson's championship-winning 1986 YZR500 at the 'Yamaha Racing Experience' at Jerez. Here's the full on-board lap with 'The Doctor'!

Back in 1977 Eddie Lawson, already a dirt track star, decided to go road racing. He showed up at a club race at Willow Springs with his TZ 250 and was told he had to participate in the "rookie" orientation session before he could actually enter and race. He didn't complain, he duct taped a big square on the back of his leathers like all the other newbies, myself included, and off we went. The session lasted about 20 minutes. He lapped me and my GS 750 at least four times. Always gave me plenty of room. What a gentleman and what a champion.
Awesome memory, I remember being lapped at Road Atlanta WERA GNF in 85’ by John Kocinski. John was on a TZ250 as an expert and I was on a 500 interceptor as a novice.
That is an awesome memory. we assume you tell anyone who'll listen that you raced against a four-time 500cc world champion, because we definitely would!
125, 250 and 500 was the golden era of MotoGP
YZR 750 from King Kenny Roberts sen.
I liked watching King Kenny when they were called cafe' racers in the 70's & 80's.
@@jeriksson7686 I got a 50 ccm bike with 6,25 HP IN 1980 and 1984 a HONDA NSR 400 Replika with 72 HP from Freddie Spencer.
@@frankthiele9978 I'd like to see the one from Freddy Spencer! Been a long time.
@@unionrdr 250/500 World Champion in one year. Did Agostini archive that ? Where are you from ??? USA?
A mechanical symphony with one of the best conductors ever!
@@GeneIvey-j3r I called it mechanical ballette.
Well I enjoyed the sound of 500 two stroke.....ridden by an absolute legend !!!
Let's not forget that Rossi, one of the last 4 stroke champions, that has actually won a 2 stroke championship!!!
So, when he goes, I'll be the last guy on earth who can still ride it.
I can also tune it better than Yamaha.
Three 2 stroke championships 😊
He won three: 125, 250, and 500
pure racing, without so much electronics
Racing is about technology. Look at the 50cc championship 4 stroke vs 2 stroke. It does get tremendously expensive, but eventually the lessons learned trickle down to the mortals.
Remember,Val won the last 500 2stroke championship in 2001. He described that machine like this: "The bike come from another world". I miss those bikes and rider's. It was more fun when Val was racing.
The Nastro Azzurro NSR500
Nothing to do with this bike.
This is learning for this man.
Good ol’ times, but times change. I love this era too. Just looking at those guys able to push it a bit further than what used to be possible.
I completely lost interest after moto gp went to 800cc, the 2strokes were amazing and I loved the 990 4strokes also
Last of the 500 champs. It was a sad thing. I remember Gary McCoy wearing a black armband at the final event, like it was a funeral. Still have all those fond memories though.
The sound of it is intoxicating. I remember watching Lawson battling it out live with Spencer & some Japanese guys at Batu 3, Shah Alam. Then Doohan, Gardner, Mamola before they closed the circuit & change venue to Sepang. The sound, smell, heat & the speed of it was no compare what we see in youtube. Ferrrghh....
I remember my Dad taking me to Donington Park in 93 and 94. The smell of 2 strokes, I remember Schwantz sliding it down Craner curves leaving black lines and tyre smoke. One lap he looked like he was riding a wild bull by the way his bike was bucking. Now the bikes are like 2 wheeled F1 cars, they all ride the same and are perfect every time.
@@smith2781 it was schwantz - rainey duel years, ain't it? And cadalora too. I enjoyed them as well.😊
@@kakikurakura7921 Yeah it was. I remember going there I can’t really if it was 95 or 96 both Rainey and Schwantz had already stopped racing and Doohan won by miles. It was like watching a 500 race a grid full of 250’s. The only other person I’ve seen win by such a distance was Stoner in 2007.
A 2stroke 500 on todays tires must be a completely different experience than the Michelin “flick” tires from 20 years ago.
that bike is running amazing...sooo smooth...i would give anything to be riding that !!
This would be a great time to start thinking about making a "Legends Championsip" with old bikes and riders
Si claro como si las marcas se van a poner a fabricar otra vez respuestos y piezas para un supuesto campeonato que no les brindara absolutamente nada de dinero. Anda a dormir!! 🤡.
This would be great , but im afraid the money itd take and then not make makes @elpatolucas probably right
Maybe not a legends Championship, but a legends race once a year would work. Goodwood has bikes from the 20s and 30s sometimes so it should be doable.
yep just dont tell the net zero zealots though ,they have anxiety over a cow farting
The pinnacle of moto racing imo
For anyone unhappy about the footage remember 2 strokes are not about the visuals it is about the sound and smell
I cant smell it through my phone sadly so a better camera position would have been better 😅
view from the forks would have been better ruclips.net/video/XhkZetCyaNs/видео.html
That sound. Hells yeah.
Luv that 2 stroke sound.
‘500cc 2stroke GP bike riding is like ride on edge of Japanese sword’,former Japanese GP racer had ever said.
NICE SOUND!!!
I can almost get smell of that two stroke while the master is riding
At 50 seconds he sits up pulls his left hand from the bar and takes a look backwards. At racing speeds on a 500 two stroke road racer. He is still The Doctor.
the doctor! goat.
I wish this video was produced with Smell-O-Vision Old to remember the 2 stroke years not only on the track but on the street.
Grab a bottle of Cazzie R have a good sniff! It's like virtual reality in your own living room! 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Getting rid of the 500 2 strokes was the worst thing ever done in moto gp.
MotoGP has gone the same way as Formula 1 now. I only enjoy watching Moto 3 these days.
My days of going to watch 500 racing was in the days of Sheene and Roberts. Also recall the transatlantic races. Diminutive Steve Baker aboard a fire breathing TZ750 was a sight to behold.
@@keithgoodrick-meech3921 not yet, the 750 ccm in the 1970th 2 stroke Was undriveable
@@keithgoodrick-meech3921 Marco Lucchinelli, Randy Mamola, Barry Sheen, King Kenny Roberts and so on. What an amount of great drivers and there are a lot I have forgotten.
The technology on bikes these days is unbelievable. A small four stroke allows engineers to optimise efficiency and it doesn't burn oil, and it has a wide torque range which makes a high horsepower bike easier to ride.
We need these back . Get some excitement back into GP s
Keep her on the powerband and she’ll sing that symphony
The season between the two and four stroke transition was a fun one to watch. The 500cc two strokes vs the 990 four strokes on the track together. All the different engine designs that seems to materialize over night was so cool.
Oh wow, I might have a "lie down" and listen to this !😂
Hi Sir Am Wrjazjr From Malaysiam Supporters Of MotoGP.And ExRider Of The Drag Sprint Racer.Good Luck Sir For Your Video.Respect.Sir.
BRING BACK THE 2 STROKE!!!!
Absolutely
Agree!
No.
Most of you didn't have a clue what they're for.
You had no idea how to tune them, and you couldn't ride them either.
@@Gma7788 ok but I am not a rider, I had a couple of comercial low cylinder 2 stroke bikes, they were fun
@@Gma7788At a guess I expect your no Rossi or Doohan. Nor are you an East German designer or tuner back in the 50’s and 60’s
2 Stroke ❤️
So many riders had broken bones from those bikes.
Hard to ride/handle that abrupt power curve.
Miss you Valentino !
Awesome!
Can you imagine riding a large bore factory built 2 stroke ?
I have ridden a few Kawasaki and Suzuki triples with minor modifications like pipes , jetting, tires , clip ons that scared the bejesus out of me .
Crazy !
86YZRは歴史的名機
It’s based on technology stolen from East Germany when a rider defected. The Japanese added very little to what was developed behind the iron curtain
I appreciate road racing very much.
But as flat track racer I also love those engines on the dirt and Val
does too. He was
at the Indy mile to
watch the king ride
it on the TZ 700
celebrate his win
there decade's ago.
One of our Yamaha Press Officers was at the Indy Mile that year. We were all expecting Vale to spin a few laps after King Kenny, but he (probably wisely) politely declined after seeing Kenny sideways on every lap! 😁
VR46 👑👑👑
He was flying with this bikes
I like that he's using a 500cc-style body position
ロッシは何でも器用に乗りこなす WECの活躍も素晴らしい
せっかくの企画なんだからカメラ2~3ヶ所付けて、ロッシを色々な画角で観たかったです😅
Wonderful
WGPはやっぱりこの音。2stの音が心地良いです。
Awesome. I miss the 2 stroke 500's. Frightening power delivery and no electronics.
Note at 2:10 he lifts his bum up, just in case there's any doubt about who 'The Man' on that bike is 🙂
Vale la légende.
Bravo !!!!!!!🎉
O' the sound, o' the sound is good...
Saudades da 2 tempos
Pretty Cool!
2Stroke never dies
Este é o Doutor!
Saúde e paz a todos.
São João Marcos/Rio Claro-RJ/BR.
After that look behind...✊️
Feel the clucth
Regret of regrets was selling my RZ500, it will always be the one that got away.
Yamaha, today is the day.
We all forget the the thumb brake that Mick had to use..
😍😍😍
いや〜やっぱり2stは最高だわ☺
MotoGP should re-introduce 2-strokes to compete in the class. Viewership interest would be HUGE. Updating 2 strokes with modern advancements in engine management systems, tires and suspension would be very interesting- and exciting. Given so many years, perhaps a temporary increase in displacement to 600cc max.
7686přesně tak ❤❤to bylo 😢💪👍👍
The saddest part is he wanted even MORE POWER.
Bravo vale sei ancora un mostro sul 2 tempi ...molto meglio di quel antipatico di LORENZO...
I just wonder as a master of many types and styles of race bikes which one was his favorite?
Rossi always says the his best bike was the NSR500.
1471přesně tak hlavně vůně ricinu ❤❤😢👍👍
The gearchanging seems agricultural compared to today's MotoGP bikes. It is!!! 😂
The machine created in hell for lucifer to ride😊
生きる伝説のライダーも、幻の７速に入れるんだな。
Definitely lacking some top speed to what he's used too, was searching for another gear up top.
Mv augusta na starém okruhu v brně její 4 takt hrmel už z dálky ❤❤❤💪👍👍božsky ago 👍💪
still purring like a kitten
I can almost smell the 2 stroke oil 😊
2 Stork the best i have a RD 500 and a Rs 250 👍👍👍
Please change the title to:
“Two minutes of Rossi’s backside” :_ D
Although it is always interesting to listen to the difference in shifting - keeping momentum on a 2S vs powerband for 4S
nice to see the whole lap from the BUTT perspective...
That was back when the racing was better and the rider had to work the throttle. No T/C bs.
Elle tire un peu court ! 😊
Tettt tetttttt, hmm hmmm👍🤠
That's just 2 1/2 minutes of Rossis arse
Honda were the demise of two stroke racing. Where are they now.
Pretty good , but not up to the alien standard of Lawson ,Rainey ,Doohan & Schwantz
Sounds like he needed another gear or two. Sure would like to hear what he thought about the experience, without that what's the point?
Geez , They let anybody ride Lawsons old bike . Hope they don't destroy it . That would be a real shame .
Gezz nine times world champion in Moto GP 125,250,500,800 1000ccm the last one to win the championship with a two stroke 500ccm bike in 2001 I think he is entitled to ride anything on two wheels and any motorcycle company would give him one of their old timer bikes to ride and especially new ones prototypical. Just to get his opinion which is worth its weight in gold with his more than 25 years motorcycling career at the highest possible level and this same ride was not even close to the limit that THE DOCTOR VR46 was able to take believe me he was very gentle and careful about this technical wonderful creations of Japanese Engineers. VR46 THE GOAT of Motorcycling.
@@edinnijemcevic237 You can see clearly that he went easy and only got full throttle on finish straight
bhahahaha! tyres are so good now that he can whack the S out of it exiting the corners, it doesn't move a hair. with old school tyres, he'd be on his ass already... 😅😄
Arse Cam !
Some has stolen the doctors leathers..
so much fun, watching his butt…
It's just like the computer game.
why dont all the factorys break out the 500 again and make motogp exciting once again> havent watched since rossi retired cause it not to fun to watch with all the rider aids
A different type of human raced these bikes just ask Mick Doohan 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺.
Just like motocross when they went to 4strokes is wasn't the same. Now the riders just need to sit and hold on the bike does the rest. 2strokes were raw and needed much more rider input which lead to more mistakes in corners = closer racing.
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🇮🇹🐐🐐🐐
Gearing was way off....
Can you film it from the International Space Station next time please, then we can get to see the bike in a bit more detail?
Misil...
Unfortunately Moto GP is going the way of Formula 1 - way too much tech and clinical. When Vale described what it was like working for Honda, I can imagine all the teams are like it now. Yes, it’s the mission to win but where is the spectacle and thrill for the fans. At least when the 990s were around we had twins, triples, fours and a V5 - were will it end?😢
Motor Sport GP 500 2 Tak terkenal sangat liar dan sulit dijinakan krn tehnologi motor sport waktu itu tanpa perangkat elektronik yg modern sperti skrg. Tapi itu bkn masalah sama skali bagi seorang Valentino Rossi.
Beliau juara Dunia dikalas utama jga menggunakan motor 2 tak NSR 500 yg trkenal lebih liar dari Yamaha YZR 500.
ROSSI IS THE BEST 😎
If yamaha wants to keep valentino, I don't understand why they stop selling R1.
Fansnya Valentino Rossi Mana Suaranya?
Is that a xsr900gp?
Worst camera angle ever!
7速入れようとしてたけどnsrと感じが違うのか久しぶりの500cc今のマシンに比べると遅いからもう一個上に入れようとしたのかな?
Bring back the doctor...the doc just doesnt sound right
