- Cruising around the pits at Straight Rhythm, it was hard to ignore #Wiseco rider Travis Pastrana's 500cc 2-stroke RM beast. We sat down to chat with Travis about his man's man race bike, hitting the triple-quad-triple, the backflip-scrub, and what he relies for his 500.

This is why you will always be my favorite. Tru to the 2 stroke, and one of the only men to attempt and tame the almighty 500. You are legend
Travis is the best down to earth dude I know except when he's in the air!
Him and Mad mike metzler was the greatest dirt bike riders to ever live! Travis had slightly better bikes but his nuts was just as big!
I love the old bright graphics
Me too...i'm soo stuck in the early 90's when it comes to that👍
Right!?
Its weird how travis is born in the early 80s but still is like 16 :)
I believe you ;) Nice PRS btw or is it a schecter? :)
@Rick Rojas he's like 37 not 27
Hahaha it must be the 80s i was born 82, i still look like im 21..lol....i grew up old school motor cross until I was introduced to the new four strokes but still always love and ride two strokes...my uncle has got one of the very first cr moto cross bike the 1972-74 cr Elsinore bike, a little story for all you moto head brothers alike, he raced a 2006 wr 200 fully worked so more like a 300 anyway the Elsinore kicked its ass so funny watching a stock Elsinore smash a worked wr.😅
how is he only 36
@Rick Rojas He's 37. Being a professional extreme sports athlete takes its toll on your body. I'm sure his bank account is nice and healthy.
Hell ya , Nothing like the smell of a 500 two stroke !!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Travis is the one and only person who can backflip a 500cc
Stephen Jones *on purpose
Because he has balls
Love my 500s to pieces and back together again!
Been riding a 500 in the deep, dark woods of PA for over a dozen years.
Pa gang

I envy you maybe one day eventually I’ll build or buy a 500cc 2-stroke!
Who would dislike a video of Travis Pastrana and a 500 2stroke
I'd like to see him race at a event, two stroke Nationals or the 450 Nationals. 👍
Awesome !!! Love to see the bikes and mx still living
Back in 1999, I tried other ring manufacturers and they all but Weisco fell short. In fact, Weisco gave me more compression than the stock rings did. Which on a RM125 2 stroke- every hursepower counts when you are riding Red Bud.
Love the tribute rm graphics!!! Boy did I spend some time on my 92 rm125 as a kid!!
I liked the one that had the orange, red and black in the graphics and black seat with donut sprinkle pattern 😎
Met Travis at Budds Creek years ago and he is just a down to earth nice guy.
I have mad respect for that guy. As much of a fearless bad ass he is, he’s equally a good guy. I still remember when he busted out on the seen just a young kid crushing all the OG’s man that was so fun to watch.
Bike is so 90s. Love it.
What a beautiful looking machine,love 500 crs but ride 125 rms would love to build one like this.
What is the power out of? Or is it a huge bored 250?
Two strokes are for those who like their fun with dose of sheer terror mixed in. 4 strokes are for having an all around pleasant time. Personally; I skateboarded and bombed steep hills for 15 years with no pads and sometimes barefoot, crashed ATVs, Dirt Bikes, and Snow machines many times (only broke my arm once somehow) and I'm good at making jumps and ramps. 2 stroke is tattooed on my heart.
T.P. Two stroke World household name & Saviour for decades. Great clip!
Delicious machine 🤜🤛
'Service Honda' built that beautiful machine - Work of art!
Thanks for the parts now I need a bike hahaha
yeah but there where is the ride footage?
Super disappointed I didnt get to see it run
That is one awesome bike
Such a sick bike😧
I don't think that anyone could dislike Travis. He's just too good of a guy. Wasn't there an old TV show from waaaay back where one of the heroes superpowers was it was impossible to dislike him? LOL. It's "Travis the Likeable."
I'm a 2 stroke for life .went over the handle bars first time I jumped a 4 stroke no one told me the engine act's like a brake when you land ...nice bike she's pretty
That bike is sick af
You know if Travis is afraid of it, it is not to be taken lightly. The 500s are monsters.
Your 500 is a beast 💛😀👍
Show trevis Pastrana sou seú fa abracao...
Legend
Plz tel me, whats the engine init?
Great event trav
Suzuki, Wiseco, Boysen, Belray, Metzler, Moto X Fox, Scott, Bell, are my favorite sponsors!
How many horsepower do you think this bike has?
2 Stroke 500cc all day.🏁🏁🏁🏁
#199
👍👍
Never heard a Wiseco go bad, only Namura, ProX, "made in taiwan", Vertex with holes missing skirts etc :)
why is the mechanic measuring the fork tube with a caliper at 1:31???
That's how he checks the rear end for stress factors lol
What does it feel like to have that much power between your legs??? I ride a 250 2 stroke... I couldn’t imagine what a 500 feels like
I rode lots of 250s and once fixed a very fast CR500 for a guy , it was up on back wheel vertical before your brain had registered the information.
Absolutely loved it , if you get a chance to ride a 500cc 2stroke ride it 👍👍✌
It's a buzz n half rode my first 500 at 16 I was addicted instantly. Just like a crack head to a pipe lol.
If a guy says they never felt like death was imminent or afraid at all while taking a 500 2 stroke out for some fuckery then; that guy is rubbing shoulders with McGrath and Pastrana and is probably considering doing the isle of man race in the near future, that guy is a serial killer who feels nothing, or that guy is a liar.
It's not the top speed but the fact that holding that throttle open just a little too long and you're going too fast and you got there too fast so the bikes either bucking you or you're about to get intimate with that tree.
Yep, wiseco. Thats what i win all my championships with😁
2 stroke for life
CR 500 motor?
That is a lovely colored bike
He gives the piston full credit.
I love how he wont say CR500 it's just a 500cc 2 stroke...
It's a Wiseco 500 😎🤣
He must be on Suzuki payroll still.. or was at this point. Doesn’t he ride KTM now?
Hello Travis, ты мой кумир!
Honda power! Awesone Travis.
Suzuki RM 500
🙈
@@leiferikson2072 i not sure engine is suzuki... i know honda 500 cr and i think this RM has honda engine!
@@lenytoribio9971
Wow, greating from Germany,
how ever, Travis is great stuff.
No fear, no doubt, only MX
My self ride a Yamaha YZ 250 two Stroke, Year 1989.
Sorry, my english is not perfekt.
🖖🏻
@@leiferikson2072 that is 100% a cr 500. Pipe is on wrong side for quadzilla 500 and clutch case n water pump are all wrong. Rm 500 was air cooled.
Suzukki 500 rm
Rmzilla was one of the most fun project bikes we built at Service Honda.
I still make them at Built500.com
You do great work. I have a Drz400sm 2018 can you do a big bore kit on it?
Its unfortunate that you couldn't get the credit for building that bike... no where do I see a Service Honda sticker :(
I love my 500 2 stroke! Not much can beat it 😂
What year rmz chassis it that?
2013
Thanks
Seth Enslow's motto, "send it!!"
I want that bike damnit
I miss my RM
What motor did they use for the RM Zilla?
Big Ram cr500
2001 cr500
Would have liked to see them bust out the 83 RM 500 air cooled. Lol
Suzuki rm 500
Honda CR500
is that a counter balance or electric start 🤔
Electric, he found a company that does electric starts for cr500s because he didn't like starting it.
2 strokes is all i ride to!!
Primitive Wasp in heat. Love 'em !
It's funny because my wiseco forged piston is heavier compared to the stock piston. This is the 2014 rmz450 I'm talking about here. It's mostly the wristpin but still. About 58 g extra.
How do you think a heavier piston effects power and torque? Why do you think it effects both of them negatively? I would trust the guys who have nailed the science of creating a precision forged performance part over my own inferences from looking at the numbers on a scale.
its a cr 500 honda not a suzuki ?
O meu número também e #199 em homenagem ao Trevis Pastrana .
2 strokes are beasts
I have a rm 500 an a kx 500 is their any other kind of bike 4 strokes are for the street
Is this the quadzilla motor on their?
Their what?
Cr500 motor
that thing has got an electric start. no kicking needed. beast mode!
No it does not.. its kickstart only
@@Jake_Hynds the electric start is on the other side. the left side and a small battery under the seat. I know cause I saw it in person at straight rhythm. travis pastrana has a bad knee so they made it easy for him to start.
@@llecki true I do remember in one of travis videos before his machanic had to start it for him at pastrana land
Is that a cr500 engine or quadzilla 500 engine
Rm500. Quadzilla engine
Looks more like a cr 500 if you look at the water pump. Same as a pre 87 cr500. Looks nothing like a Suzuki motor.
Two strokes are king.
RmZilla 👍
Fuk yeah 2 stroke... My dad owns 2 IT490 and love riding them
👍 👍
Bought my first Wiseco piston at 11yrs old with paper route money..1980 or so YZ80 that was Brian Swinks old bike..punched .050 over I put holes in pistols several times before I found out that it had the spark\stator advanced for 110 octane only.. Wild little 80.
Thats a Service Honda!
When cernic’s the people that sponsored Travis from the start is literally steps away from my home and his bikes are over top the doorway when you walk in
What’s the engine out of ?
It would have to be the LT500 Quadzilla mill. It is the only liquid cooled Suzuki that I am aware of. Prob why they call the bike RMzilla as well. Funny and strange that they had to source it from an ATV.
Its a CR500 engine. Not a suzuki engine. You can see it clearly in a few frames. Service Honda was still making these up until a few years ago.
@@javman6022 ok makes sense...while the cr is by far a much better mill, it would have been cooler if they kept it all suzuki
@arborcidal maniac true that! I rebuilt one crank and all for a guy once and it was still a turd. I DO remember reading in Dirt Wheels and 3&4 Wheel Action about a beach race over in Europe and most riders were on LT500s except for a few Banshees, no Rs. Duncan Racing always set up a few LTs for this race every year not PdV cant remember the name of it but anyway thats a high speed race so my initial impression was maybe TP figured out how to make the LT make torque and midrange in order to keep the build all Suzook. I always rode akd raced Hondas as a kid and teen but I would really like to have a two stroke sport quad collection starting with a clean Quadzilla!
Кто это?
cr500 motor?
Yes, Honda CR500 engine
That's a Honda CR500 engine and a procircit pipe not an fmf pipe.
Someone tell Travis that CP Industries makes a big bore cylinder (Liger) for the 500, if he wants a lot more. Lol!
There are certain items that just aren't the same . Weed eaters,chain saws ,dirt bikes ,and outboard engines . And like 4stroke engines bigger is better . Love my 2 strokes.
Is that a cr 500 engine?
500 quadzille 4 wheeler engine I think
@@coreywuertz715 i thought maybe he went with the tried and true Honda CR500 big bore. It seems everybody's putting them in something these days.
Just my thiught since it says zilla 500
@@coreywuertz715 i looked at a quadzilla's engine and it doesn't look anything like Pastrana's 500. If you look at a pre 87 cr 500 engine, the water pump and clutch cover is exact. I think he went for the Honda engine. Take a look yourself.
That thing is so nasty love the colors
The back scrub lol.
Two strokes are from a time when that was the only way to get real power and we learned how to ride them effectively. Now the 4 strokes make good power that’s easy to ride. Nothing wrong with that if it suits you. But, for an E-ticket ride and something you’ll never forget, strap yourself onto a 500 two stroke. It will scare and thrill you at the same time. There is NOTHING else like it. Pure addiction.
2strokes4life
is it a CR engine? or an RM engine modified with a big bore kit? always thought the RM500 was aircooled
Suzuki made a liquid cooled 500 4-wheeler called the quadzilla, that is the engine he is using. Look it up, it was quite crazy.
Its a CR 500 engine
@@Meditech509 No sir CR 500
meditech Nope.
Just google a photo of a CR500AF cylinder and take a close look at the RMZ same cylinder also the 500 quad you are referring too doesn't look anything like what Travis has got there.
They should have used a Quadzilla engine.
Honda engine I guess? Pretty sure with 3 or 4 gear changes down the straight a Suzuki would need a new gear box at the other end!
Im still waiting for a YZ 350 Twin dirt-bike......id think more people would have fabricated one up....
I just want to ride this bike lol
Bruh I'm scared if my rm85
I would love to have a KTM 450 frame with a KTM 380 2 Stroke motor! That would be pimp and a whole lot faster by control!
Jason Falcon Amen I think you can find a Tucker car easier than a 380sx
Would be Soo sexy I have a 96 360 EXC and it is so heavy but Soo much damn fun like riding a keg of Dynamite if lighter for Elmer fudds sake let's colab you get the 459 frame lol.
the 380 fits a 250 2 stroke frame easy. no need for a 450 chassis :)
ronnie simpson that’s awesome I would love to have a KTM 250SX frame with the 380 motor! I remember when the 380 was in first place over the CR 500 and KX 500. Hopefully I can build one this year!😎🥇🇺🇸🏁
I use to have a 98 modle exc it was awesome
47k
Sponsored by Wiseco ?? :)))
That is how you cut a promo.
I thought Pastrana always was a Bills Pipes guy...
199 rule!
2 strokes are the shit
I had an RM500 that I crashed. Removed the engine and got more power from it, then dropped it into an RGV frame for the track.
What a nasty bike
