Villapoto is actually a 5 time motocross champ and 4 time Super cross champ in the big bikes, along with one lights super cross title Which comes out to 10 titles.😮
He’s a 3 time 250 motocross, 1 time 250 supercross, 2 time 450 motocross, 4 time 450 supercross champion. Also a 3 or 4 time winner of MXoN with team USA.
When I raced quad nationals I used to get so bummed when they would do a full track prep before the C class or Womens. The rest of the day was horrible lines haha
I got to watch RV at the Washougal Nationals years ago when he was riding the 250 and James Stewart was racing the 450, Ryan was turning faster lap times than James was on the 450. In the main he was blasting thru the whoops and at the very end there is a pretty good step up that he over shot and crashed really hard, I remember that as soon as he hit the ground and came to a stop he jumped up , Ran over picked his Bike up , Kicked it like three or four times and took off again pinned! It was pretty amazing watching him Race.
I had an 85 KX 125- great bike. Bought an 86 and it was exactly the way MXA described it, it would not turn. Horrible. Bought an 87 Honda- nirvana! Amazing bike.
Gotta say I always liked kxs from two stroke up to present day, they steer more with the front now but I liked the rear steering style of before also cos they were so stable at speed ( ps In amateur racing in the uk amca they used to always put the experts out first to cut the lines in 👌 )
Acu was experts last when I raced. I did a few amca races if there was a gap between the under 21 British champs. I always found amca to be easier than acu competition wise,but I liked the way they organised the race day at the handful of amca I rode.
It seams like Honda offered all the greats or solid riders a shot, Stewart, RC, Villo, McGrath, Kenny, Barca, Sexton, Trey, now Jett and even Readd has been on a Honda even though it wasn’t factory.
I hate ruts. Give me a flat turn or a big berm any day. Nothing like sliding around a turn with both feet on the pegs at full tilt. LOL at least that's what I liked 50 some years ago. Carlsbad style.
So who is this guy? What’s his claim to fame? Is he a former professional racer or something? How did he get this platform and how does he get all these big names?
Multiple 250/450 sx and mx championships, dominated both motos on a 250 at the mxon, multiple appearances at mxon, and was (or still is?) a brand ambassador for Yamaha. Ryan Villopoto
RV is the person that got me into watching supercross and motocross. Silent assassin in my opinion.
Amazing rider. It was so fun to watch Ryan race.

BAD MAN right there 👊 Appreciate the memories RV ✌️😉

And with a really short career just like RC
He’s a 3 time 250 motocross, 1 time 250 supercross, 2 time 450 motocross, 4 time 450 supercross champion. Also a 3 or 4 time winner of MXoN with team USA.
He did not win 5 championships on the 450 outdoors tho.
Rear steer is super fun, especially on a 450.
Squatted with a lot of rear steer, leftover style and setup from 2-stroke days

The dirt is so good in the Midwest because there's more moisture, and lots of farm equipment to disc the track.

42 on each gate. What do you think is going to happen. 😅 that track gets knarly scary.
I bought one of RVs practice bikes for my son. Kaw 80 or 85. Long time ago.

After riding all four Japanese bikes a few years ago, imo kawi’s and Yamahas both steer from the rear more so than my Honda or the Suzuki.

Kenny a great ? Barcia a great ? In what way
Reed’s 22 Motorsports Honda was a mix of HRC and privateer stuff. Chad has said in the past that he had factory motor, suspension and brakes.
I wanna see RV in formula drift
Ryan would of been on a champion on a shit box
cutting the shock frame by 1 mil O_O
