- Episode one of three following the highs and lows of Team Classic Suzuki's visit to this year's Classic TT on the Isle of Man. This episode follows the RG500 and Danny Webb's time on the Island.
The RG500 is one of the great racing bikes. Those 2-stroke 500s were incredible bikes. So much raw power and so light. Seeing that front wheel lift under acceleration never gets tired!
Thumps up for 2-Stroke Lovers!!!!
As much as I continue to enjoy Motogp, I miss those 2-strokes
Awesome days. Pure riding skill.. 👍🍀🇮🇪
@Sam Johnson Compared to what? TT?
Suzuki RG 500 Two stroke side by side with a Norton Rotary Engine... Two of my favorites bikes..
You missed the YZR500 to the left that Connor was riding - Another mega bike
I have an re5 Suzuki its a rotary 2stroke.....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
2-Stroke is best in Motorbikes. I have had a YZ 125, YZ 250, RD 250 and a TDR 250.
But a RG 500 was always my dream.
theres one for sale here if want it...
bmw S1000RR all the time and get reck.
@Survivalist Edgelord 2018
Ima get the yz125
Think you mean RZ 500... I had one... it was scary...If you mean Yamaha.
This is my young life dream.. An RGV 500..
I've raced Suzuki's since 1969.. I started on a TC 90.
This video brought me to tears.
Beautiful.
Some reason I accumulated like 3 or 4 72 models when I was younger.
I had a ts and a tc 125 ,one of those RV 125s and maybe another ts or tc in there.
Someone hotted one of em up back in the day before I got it and boy did it rip , you'd know better than me but I think it was some factory hop up kit.
When I geared it tall, it did about 80mph and would walk past all my buddies on their late model 2 strokes once I started to reel them back in on a long road.
Go for your dreams dude.
What a great piece, beautifully shot, terrific gent riding! Well done to all and Team Classic Suzuki for putting these old racers back on the track where they can sing.
I love the 2-stroke engines, the releasing of power at higher rpm's, the sound, the smell... I never owned a 4-stroke, since I was 18 I'm riding only 2-stroke bikes, my first was a Suzuki GT 380 with "Ram Air System", next was a Yamaha RD350 YPVS, Suzuki RGJ 250, I got as a present a Yamaha TDR125, now I ride again a Yamaha RD350 YPVS, the 4th season and I built in V-Force intake valves, replaced the CDI with a ZEELTRONICS programmable controller, to manage the ignition and the opening of the powervalve... I'll never give away this bike, she's my "beast" and I love her like crazy...
Thanks... Amazing feeling. If there is possibility to smell these two strokes via RUclips 👍😍
These are proper racing bikes , nice to see them in action once again, hopefully we'll see them next year at the Classic TT- 2022.
ooooo.. thats sound of 2 stroke RG 500, really satisfying!
ITS AMAZING! Thank you for SHARE with us this video!
ese sonido maravilloso que se entiende en todas las lenguas, "abre paso amigo, viene una 2 tiempos"
Bring them back
Two strokes are special
but they smell so bad....
@@alexandert696 *good
@@alexandert696I love that smell
and typical motorsport,my blood

"It's a 2 stroke, 500cc, it's a men's bike.."
Heru Musicman
If CNN see's the its a mans bike bit his career is over 😏 those liberals are mental 😒
@@OldestYoungenInGuidePost Truly mental
We called it "flying coffin" here in Hong Kong
how can it be more than one man's bike?
@@prelude12341 the point is its not gender right.. Fun
When RG’s and RZ’s were available, a man with big $ should have snatched every one he could find.
Those 4 rotary valves bikes always dropping my jaw..
I can just smell the castor oil & race fuel!
Icutmetal I run it in my 50cc scooter. One day I rock up at work and my boss thought something was burning 😂
2t oil
Castrol R-30.
@@manbai8880 No shit?
@@neilhamill318 I’ve ran Maxima castor & 927 along with Klotz Benol & Super Techniplate in the past. I’ve got a Klotz castor oil scented candle in my office…yeah…it smells just like it 👍
This video makes we want to get out to my shed and work on my ‘79 GS1000 !
Suzuki guys.... cool...love that legendary rg500 thanks for the video..
I had one of these rg500 and a yamaha rz 500 when i was 18.....lucky to be alive as i would always take it up to 220 klm/hr before leaving the ON RAMP of Canadian highways 🤟🥰❤😱🌮☠🧛♂️ the sound, the smell, the life.......
What an absolutely beautiful RG. A rolling, screaming sculpture on wheels, how I miss two strokes !
I love the Classic TT & the wide variety of bikes there.Thanks for uploading this video.
Temperamental two strokes, when they're good there's nothing better 👌 so exciting to ride 🫠
I always thought the classic was for BSA,s Anthe like!!never realised it was this good!!gonna try&book some tickets!👍😀
Full respect for SUZUKI, to supply many RGB500s to many privaters.
Without it, 500cc class would not have been able to have full grid races in early 80s.
I love to see some of these modern day riders ride these old bike. No traction control and a 1/4" wrist crank can mean the difference between a pass or ending up ass over tea kettle in the rhubarb. Those old two strokes were beautiful. Obviously not on the same level by any mean but I had a 79 Daytona special and I LOVED that bike.
Johnnywhamo You mean like Rossi? Ohh wait he did ride one, and win a world championship on one VR46 😎
I've wadded a couple tz 250's one at over 90mph at willow springs.
I always dreamt at the chance to ride a 500.
Maybe it's best I never got that chance and am still alive.
Io avevo la RG Gamma 250 pero anche io sogniavo sempre la Rg 500 ma con quella sarei gia morto da un pezzo :-)
Excellent!, Thanks to Everyone involved, it looks and sounds Sublime, just wish I could smell it! :D
Brings back. Memories of riding the rg500 in my teens, what a bike...
I have great memories of Wayne rainey & Kevin Schwartz going at it at Laguna seca.500 gp.two strokes.no electronics. Just wrist and big balls.
Was good to see a smoker hope it goes well for you in 2019 safe riding 🙂👍
There is nothing on this earth that even comes close to the wail of a powerful two stroke engine period.
I'm not taking anything away from the modern twist and go riders, but after watching this year's classic on the 250's, they all struggled, riding them like 4 bangers through the corners only Anstey rode it like you should.
Dois tempos, sempre falando alto !!!
Belas máquinas, lendárias...
Pbs e forte abraço.
Rj - Brasil.
Great Video! I can almost smell that sweet 2 stroke smoke
I'm a Webb too ( No Relation I Don't think ;- ) So I have always looked to see how Danny is doing he is an Awesome rider and I wish him a great a well-deserved Awesome career. All the best mate.
Danny Webb seems to have the perfect temperament for a racer!
6:10 Feel like they should have bigger fire extinguishers, just in case..
finnaly youtube recommended a good video for me😁
See you next year, i raced a souped up aircooled r5box and rd head in monello in the 70s . they could be tempramental, but great to ride, also had an rd 500 but never got it to the trace, memorable machinery. ps joey dunlop passed me like i was crawlin and i was goin my fastest ever. great great fun,
I've got an RD400, I know it's not the same but. I love it.
Man I'd love to have an RD400!!! I'm no brand snob- I've had Yamahammers, Hondas and am currently on a GSXR 1000- I love them all. Always had a soft spot for Yamaha's though as my two uncles used to own a Yamaha shop until one of them got killed on one. But the days of street legal two strokes had to be awesome! Just a shade before my street riding days but always dreamed of having an RD 350/400!!!
One of my all time fav 2 strokes was the Yamaha rd350 lc ypvs shit those bikes were the business back in the day.
Amazing 2T Neverdie!!
Thanks for the video. I had one for many years. Everyone loved taking it for a rip, but it was a terrible street bike. Weak 6mm bolts holding down heads and barrels, bum baking so you wouldn't ride it >25*c, 25min before you could take the choke off, used 18L/100km gas like a pickup truck. It's a classic but I didn't regret selling it
Wow man Danny reminds me of a young Barry Sheene
What a beast!!
And he looks and sounds like Barry!!👌😍😂
He does a bit doesn't he?
I was thinking the same thing, close my eyes and I could hear Barry.
He does sound like Barry.
Schön gemachtes Video! Many thanxxx!👍
Love the sound of a stroker in the power!
X good luck and be watching for you in 2019
I love Suzuki, they are the best motorcycles in the world
Big thx for this series! There's is no better smell than burned 2 stroke or Kerosin 😂👌🚀
2 stroke is still the best. Been riding this in the 80s such as RD125YPVS TZR250RR RD350LC RD350F2 MBX125 NSR250F KR250 RGV250. Those were the days.
Ohh that classic tachometer looks so good
I know the future of bikes is battery ....but the noise of the two stroke and inline fours on the start line is music
It will never be the same
I will never stop riding a motorbike until the day I die. This is what it is all about, the passion, the feeling and the people you meet along the way. Doesn't matter what you ride
Bike life forever
Kentirr yah..... Jalan raya... Banter bgt.... Benar benar butuh skil riding yg mumpuni...
My brother in law had one in the 90's we use to race each other from 30, (kph)- upwards. He'd keep with me till 100 (kph) then I'd pull away on my ZX10.
He sold it through hearing of gearbox problems. At that time some people avoided them.
Oh Danny boy, The Piiiipes the Pipes are Screeeeeaming.. and crackling and singing!
Lucky feller
RG was a beautiful bike... At the island just WOW
Such a great bike RG 500 !!
I had the 125 ... got it de restricted after I passed my test.. it went from a coughing spluttering slow bike (hardly faster than my RXS100) into a Crackling Spluttering ...... PAAAAAAAAARP FAST little bike.. got about 60% more Power in the top 1.5k revs... Absolute Addictive Hilarity
Great vid❤. Miss the 2 strokes.
Does anybody know what the Rules are for the Bikes ?
I heard a Four Stroke on the grid but was that another class?
I love this stuff!
Enjoy the bike life 🤙
I believe with better tyres & shock of latest technology, this 2 stroker will give a run for their money for GP1 bikes. Long live 2 stroke & may Suzuki RG's lives forever.
I Love the low rpm with hi horsepower that only a towstroke can make and the wide usable powerband
You know two strokes actually don't make a lot of low end torque , I own three different 2 stroke bikes .
We need a full onboard lap of the TT course on this RG500. C'mon people who's with me?
71 thumbs down..... Are the rivet counters not happy with the bike?
Those bikes are just beautiful 👍
Wow a TT rider is another breed of human. Like a farewell headed out to combat zone in a war when he gets ready to mount.
I'm surprised he's flogging it like that. Apparently, parts are still readily available and I'm sure he has his finger glued to the clutch lever at all times.
Someone please, What's that sponge around his clocks for? @0:59
I just watched a video and Barry was talking down on the TT but it's the greatest sporting event in the world.
He was a track guy.
@@robertlund5694 trust me I know. Doesnt mean he can look down upon people braver than him. Anyway we all know Kenny Robert's waxed that red coat.
Unlike today’s Electronically Controlled Everything ridden in “competition” this is a REAL Race Bike. Man & Machine, what Racing is Supposed To Be.🤘🏼
Miss the revv when revving back hear a little sounds like ring vibrating
Bring back the two stroke...screw the tree huggers
Tree hugging is perfectly fine als long as ur 10/10 drunk
You are funny!
They eat plants anyway
Animal Agriculture pollutes more than all forms of transportation in the world combined. Around 70 something % actually... 3% of pollution/carbon/greenhouse gas is from internal combustion engines. 2 stroke could come back with little to no difference in pollution especially with smokeless oils we have now and technological improvements being used like the power valves on snow mobiles. Everything were told is a fucking lie.
I'm a tree hugger (kinda)...... I also love 2Ts.
I may have issues. 🤔
Is this Suzuki rg from 1984 gp?
Don't get it. Why would anyone go to the trouble of giving this a thumbs down?
Am i the only one who thinks? Danny Webb looks and sounds like Sheene.
I was just thinking he sounds like him I don’t know about the looks lije
No, you’re not.
He sounds just like him...Just took me back...
Shit you so right! He does!
When i close my eys,i think Barry is talking
Dat down shift at 3.37....oh my my.... The best sound from a engine..... What a howwwlllll....... Ooooooooooooo...
Anyone know what kind of Tacho on this bike? Amazing
Nothing like the sound of a two stroke when it comes on the pipe!!! (Or in this case 4 pipes! Wooohooo!!!)
forever suzuki!
what is the number of lcd screen?
His accent channels the spirit of Barry Sheen nicely. :) God Bless him and all those who brave the island...
just like barry
Classic bike and can't bet the two strokes and the smell awsome stuff and have road one but the road version
Legend bike...amazing
IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Memories..memories, I owned two of these beauties!
Great !!! Loved it 😊❤️
With Moto GP you kind of expect all rider's/racers to finish each race alive.
With the TT race's you hope they finish in the same manner but your never really shore.
How much HP does it make?
They're supposedly 95 stock but with a few minor mods 110 was the norm. It doesn't seem like much but when you compare it to a CBR1000 of the same year making 100hp weighing around 575 wet, the 500 at 200lbs less was a rocket since it was around 360lbs.
Why do they always speed up the tape just a little bit!
This bike has a 2-stroke engine and 4 exhausts😍
With a four cylinder engine .
@@neilhamill318 I just meant it sounds awesome with 4 exhausts!😅
@@szn00 Yeah it really sounds like you meant that. 😕
@@neilhamill318 😁😁
Great sound
fuck my dad had this bike (in white&red) but sold it really recently, the month before I turned 18..
is it rare to find these bikes in good condition? if so what must I expect to pay?
You do know that this is a RG500 racing bike and not the RG500 Gamma road bike!
There's a big difference!
If your dad just sold his why are you asking the world how much you would pay?
The price and currency varies from country to country!
Why don't you Google RG500 for sale or get you dad to help you.
Your post is right up there with be best of them!
I couldn't tell that, other than our having a liscense-plate, so thanks!
I'm asking since I'm afraid my dad got ripped off (we sold it to the ones he bought it from 30 years ago) as he directly contacted us (we didnt put it out for sale)
Just looks like such a sick bike! So much power.. but maybe not a good starter bike for me.. heh
Bring back the 2 strokers can't beat the sound and smell
Sounds so brutal.. it must be big bee's home sounds.
Is DW not in GP'S? If not that's ridiculous
I ❤️love Suzuki
Best 2 stroke bike ever !
