Amazing skills are required to pilot 180 hp unleashed within an insanely narrow powerband. Eddy makes it look easy. Does anybody else notice him manually blipping the throttle as he downshifts under braking on his entry into the turns? A true master aboard one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made. Fantastic footage. Thanks for posting this.
Eddie Lawson and Cagiva is one of the greatest underdog stories of Motorsport! His win at Hungary was brilliant!!! One of the absolute greatest of all time! Lawson, Doohan, Dunlop, Rossi, Sheene, Agostini….GOAT’s!🙏
Todd Caldwell Under rated? He was THE one to beat in his day. Flat track,Super Bike,500 GP,he excelled at them ALL! One of America’s most accomplished Champions!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I don't think Eddie Lawson was the "fastest rider," but I think he was the "strongest rider." He was a rider who could always achieve better results, and who achieved "results worth more than winning." Despite being able to do that, he was a "gambler" who never missed the opportunity to aim for the win, a "strong rider." I think Eddie Lawson is the "strongest rider."
Peccato che i 2T sono fuori produzione ,non gareggiano piu in competizioni importanti,una moto come rs 250 che non viene piu prodotta ,il Cr 250 etc ,la gente cerca e vuole il 2T ,costa meno di manutenzione e da forti emozioni e mette in evidenza le caratteristiche del pilota ,adesso tutti maestri con i 4t controllo di trazione motori fluidi etc .2T fino alla morte
They had them i wsbk not long after before they were banned in wsbk i remember witham talking about them and how much they cost on his Ducati when he was alongside foggy.
Fuckn trends killed the 2t, am i the only one who can’t enjoy the 4t motogp? In the 2t era i watched all the races but after the changes it looks boring to me... bring back this monster 500cc 2t engines without the shitty assistant electronics and i will be a fan again.

The Cagiva was one of the best looking 500 GP bikes ever!
I disagree. It was THE best looking 500 ever!
@@peterflynn9123 I agree with you
100%!😍
D'accordissimo ❤💯👍🇮🇪
Cagiva is Aprilia now

One of my favorite riders ever. A true legend. My kingdom for a KZ1000.
Rosii jajajaja
Just look how this engine INSTANTLY revs from 7500 to MORE THAN 12000rpm at 2:48! It's amazing!
And what a rider was Eddie Lawson!
Thanks for posting. I an currently restoring my RZ350, cant wit to ride again, i love the 2 stroke sound. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
"Eddie Lawson, with the big boys"..
Eddie Lawson is THE big boy when he's on the track!
@Hugh Goldspiel What?!!
Rainey
Schwantz
Gardner
Doohan
Not anymore at the time.
Two stroke engine simply amazing!
That is smooth as silk riding style .
One of the best ever
lovely sound. I want two strokes back in the GP!
Same. And until now 2021 theres no 2stroke?
These were bikes !!!!!
Two stroke forever.....and 500 incredible sound !!!!!!!
so smooth and relaxed..
Fantastic and what a beautiful bike.
It's almost a Ferrari on 2 wheells
one of the most underrated riders
And he’s won races on 3 different makes in GP. Plus Kawasaki in AMA if I’m not mistaken.
@@benkenobi292 yes and Kawasaki

Awesome bike, awesome ride!....
2 strokes are something else...
L'ho vista ieri alla fiera di Roma al motodays......un animale!!!!!Bella!!!

This guy seems pretty good.....
Eddie Lawson was not a big talker, he let his riding do that. Old school!
And thats the way it is...
Che moto... altro che moto gp e oggi...
Luigi Carson oggi è una merda con piloti di merda e motori diesel di merda!
Steady Eddie Awesome
Shift gear without quick shifter...hard job....👌

エディはこの人差し指1本掛けがカッコえぇネン😍
Steady Eddie!
dammit..so fast only 500 cc.
That was a nice bike.

Carbon fiber discs in 1991 how ?
They had them i wsbk not long after before they were banned in wsbk i remember witham talking about them and how much they cost on his Ducati when he was alongside foggy.
They should at least get rid of traction control or any other control… nowadays..
woooohoooo
eddie wayne and freddie #1
It's his characterized by touching the index finger on the lever.
He might be dragging the brake to heat up the rotors.
2 STrOKE POWER:D
Wow, that's kinda harsh don'cha think?
A real racer and a real racebike...not this computerised crap we have today
ahhhhh.... nemmeno l'orchestra migliore del mondo riuscirebbe ad interpretare la melodia di una cagiva 500 2t in coppia....
Fuckn trends killed the 2t, am i the only one who can’t enjoy the 4t motogp? In the 2t era i watched all the races but after the changes it looks boring to me... bring back this monster 500cc 2t engines without the shitty assistant electronics and i will be a fan again.
agreed !
wish they would shut up so we can hear those bikes ...
some things never change...............wb
un mito
eh già, senza controllo di trazione e cazzatine varie, ci vuole pelo per guidare una 500.. altro che 4 tempi
real balls :)
Qui a Varese si vivevano anni intensi allora...
Fast eddie
Schiranna Varese 🇮🇹🇮🇹
la meglio moto del mondo
cagiva ti amo.....
castiglioni ti odio....
500なのに右手握りかえなかったんだ
へえ～
This is when men were men
i bet this 500 has as much reliability as cagivas of today
silence please ! only sound engine!!!!
nowadays a worthless skill set that is dead in the water
