When you say "you wont expect this" we know EXACTLY what to expect.

Hey guys, remember to always wind up your 125 by pulling it back repeatedly before use!

When you see anti wheelie bar, you know exactly what to expect.

1:10 is where the race starts

1000cc and the reflexes of an arthritic geriatric on pain killers. A true champion.

The heaviest thing on that 125cc was probably the rider. LoL

Many years ago I had an old Yamaha 125 trail bike with a 175cc barrel and head. The engine was ported and modified and the engine produced so much power I had trouble making the clutch bite. Its RPM was off the rev counter and on the road it would easily out drag bikes like the one above. It was stripped of everything to keep the weight down The engine was tuned from a 2 stroke tuning book and lots of work in my shed. :-) Two stroke engines can produce insane amounts of power.

To all the commenters who are saying the Litre bike must have had a 'staggered green' (which I thought at first as well) Take a close look at 1:21 Pause and do a frame -by -frame using the < > keys up to 1:22 and you can clearly see *2 green lights* and the 125 rider going bye bye! Not only did the litre bike pull a wheelie and clutch in, he revved to the limiter too.

The superbike guy was waiting for an e-mail from his manager to start racing. Smh

Power to weight ratio: "Yes"

When u seen wheelie bars on a 125 cc ya kinda know what to expect.. but the pull away gap was surprising af!

My brother and i put a kx 80 in one of our bmx bikes when i was only ten, he was 16 at the time and already a qualified mechanic, my father amd grandpa owned a fabrication/mechanic shop so we grew up using the tools, this thing was so fast but it was a death trap, we completely snapped the frame in half taking it off jumps, shaving off all that frame weight made it a rocket 🚀 i still have no idea how we never gave my mom a heart attack, we also made a potato gun out of 3" stainless steel exaust tubing and welded it to a muffler as a combustion chamber, spark plug and all, we used to launch flaired stainless slugs about 2 miles into the air, we blew a hole clear through my dads shop 😂😂 this bike just reminded me of the good old days, the bike was so fast we had to make a wheelie bar out of half of a shopping cart. We used to terrorize the neighborhood because it had no muffler

Lots of odd comments on this video. It's interesting to see what a purpose-built 125 cc bike can do against what looks like a stock 1000 cc bike. But, about the reaction time of the stock bike rider... do people understand what happens if you pop out the clutch on that bike trying to beat a bike with drag bars on the back? The bike might be catapulted to the finish of the race, but the rider will still be at the starting line. Maybe he could have been faster, but he can't just launch like the drag bike. Still it looks to me like, if that's a quarter-mile track (which why wouldn't it be) the 125 did about 10 seconds, which is crazy.

Everyone saying “the 1000cc driver has reaction time of a sloth” Ok but can we appreciate the acceleration of that 125? I mean, it was quick goddamium

Lived in Greece for 9 years a knew Salonika pretty well. Didn’t realize there was a drag strip. Cool! Horses for courses….the 125 is a proper drag machine…tad quicker than my cub 125 …. Maybe I need a new exhaust 🤔🤔😉😉

I drag raced motorcycles for 21 years and it was surprising how many of these Superbike riders showed up every year at the start of the season decked out in a $2500 leather suit and a $4000 helmet and had a 2 second reaction time! And get their feelings hurt by old man on a 15 year old Harley Davidson running 10 second 1/4 mile times with a .030 reaction time.

I expected that when you said "you don't expect it"

I'm showing this to my wife. "See Baby! I told you size doesn't matter!" She isn't buying it....

2 strokes are quick. I had an 84 Honda CR 500r and I drag raced a 97 Kawasaki Ninga in a quarter mile, I smoked him on 3rd gear. No problem.👍😎

Wow !! I did not expect that !! Amazing.

You are right. I did not expect the street bike to sit there after the green and watch his opponent ride away

Typical results for “street” bike vs dedicated “drag” bike (with experienced drag-racing rider). See this at the track a lot with cars, too.

Now put a rider on the 1000 that can ride AND that has a reaction time UNDER 3 seconds! The 125 is already halfway the track when the 1000 rider wakes up!

That looks to be a standard handicap (bracket) race. Base on previous runs, the slower vehicle gets a head start so both arrive at the finish line near each other. Pretty common setup for local strips. They're racing against time, not really each other. You could get someone in a mobility scooter crossing the finish line first. How else can you have fun in different classes if there's a limited number of entrants in each class?

Rider of the 1k gives the 125 a half track head start "yOu DiDnT eXpEcT tHiS"

I didn't expect the Suzuki rider to have the reactions of a sloth.

Awesome keep it going cheers from Canada 🍻

2-stroke is basically a cheat code

The heaviest thing was the 125cc riders balls.

Just as I expected, something completely unexpected happened.

I want to build one of these nitromethane 125cc drag racing bikes. Sounds like a fun build that won't get too expensive, and will teach me a whole lot so I can do something bigger and crazier.

Damn! The little bike didn't do much of a burnout... Then! Big Guy gave him a head start 😅 Never again! Hey Greece 🇬🇷 ! Nice Dragstrip!

That looked like a catapult launch from a carrier deck...insane.

i remember that one time i race 150cc 2 stroke bike, lesson learned. Those 2 stroke speed is insane at any cc damn

by the title i guessed the 125 would be quick, but it was still a lot quicker than i expected - crazy

If it looks fast and sounds fast, it's probably fast! Fun video!

The winner got a 3 second head start and the other rider wheelies out of the gate and then misses second gear. Should be pretty hard to lose that one.

Guy on the 1000 can’t shift to save his life and is why he got demolished

When a Bicycle has a wheelie Bar... you best know a drag race will end in tears for you 🫡😂

The burn outs were hilarious that thing took off man!

My local drag strip has a “no bicycle parts” written policy

Just for acceleration, no for top speed

What a launch that little thing has. Amazing.

Honestly a lot closer than I woulda thought. Of course the thing with the wheelie bars is faster though. You see those and just know it's a monster

"BAD START FOR THE BIGBIKE" "THE STORY OF RABBIT & THE TURTLE "

0:44 i love how the green biker majestically sharpens his tires

certainly did expect that with such a head start. weeeee

yes you are right , i did not expect the other driver was sleeping at the start , i did not expect a stock bike against a drag bike .

The reaction time of the 1000cc was so slow at the start, you’d think Biden was riding it!😂😂😂😂

You're right, I didn't expect the guy on the 125cc to have 1/3 of the track head start :/

I had to watch it 3 times to make sure I saw that right,frickin awesome

Would enjoy watching the build of this 125👍🏼👏🏼✌🏼

Μονο travel moto τίποτα αλλο.

When you wanna go fast but you have to be A1 compliant

As long as the racing is shown I will stay subscribed when it goes to Tand A I will be done.

Cool. Knew what was up without the wheelie bar

What 😳,this is next level bro 😂👌🔥

Inspiring! I'm going outside now to convert my lawnmower to a two wheeler.

You absolutely should expect it.. Custom drag bike(2stroke btw) optimised only for acceleration will nail any production bike regardless the power

I had an old 1966 single cylinder Yamaha 125cc, hill climbing bike! That thing had so much torque it easily busted chains when it got too much traction on pavement! First gear lasted 0.5 seconds! When you banged second gear the RPM never dropped below red line and I did most of my climbing in 3rd!

Any way you look at it, the 125 is amazing! I would like to have seen the tree, because it looked like a handicap start. Even when you typed "you don't expect this," I sat with my mouth hanging open. That little scooter is a demon!

Dude left two seconds ahead of the other guy

2 bangers will never die….

I don't know much about 2 strokes but know you can make a ton more power out of a little 125cc engine using E85 or methanol & a much higher compression head. Along with expansion exhaust pipe, case reed valve & proper cylinder port work inside.

My older brother used to have an RD350. Routinely raced and beat 500's, 750's, 900's. That bike was an absolute beast.

Well, the 125 is a 2 stroke and was purpose built for drag racing with a rider that can drag race. The 1000 is a stock bike with a rider that automatically thinks he is fast because of the bike but ended up falling asleep at the light. I would like to see 2 competent riders on these 2 bikes, but still think the 125 2 ,stroke, will come out ahead

props for giving it away in the title...

Perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover 😂😂

I search video like this for 5 years, and still not found until I watch this. Thanks man for upload it

I see it but I don't believe it. That was amazing.

Wow tuyệt vời, suất sắc luôn em ơi 😍

What I didnt expect was a dude casually dragging back a bicycle that roars... Anyway, Insane!

Perfect example of power to weight ratio being super important.

Ya gotta love the two stroke !

Insane 🔥 totally a rider 💪

Okay....I didn't expect that😂😂😂

The point is not that the 1000cc could've won but the point is that the 125 is actually able to give him a tough time and that is great we should appreciate him and his modification.

Rode a 1973 Suzuki GT 750 for years -❣️ the triple cylinder 2 stroke / with 💓from Montana

😂 this made me laugh bro

Power to weight. The wheelie bar was a giveaway. Also sick reaction time.

I used to race 350 Yamaha’s against 750s at Brands Hatch in the 70s, regularly beat them easily. Even Agostini had to give up and sign for Yamaha when Saarinen started wiping the floor with the MVs.

Definitely bracket racing but that launch on the 125 would be such a rush! 😮

the only thing i didnt expect was the super bike taking a full 2 seconds longer to launch still a good vid

This is like a trained lightweight mma fighter vs big regular joe

1000cc (no modifications) = 220 kg 125cc (modified for racing) = 65 kg.

Ya, I won the open class, and the under 250 class during my first cross country/off road enduro race on a Yamaha IT 125 back in 1980. Well now its the norm for lightweight small engines to win races, but back then I collected my trophy to a stunned audience. The next season I won the same two classes, over and under 250cc overall season championships on a Suzuki PE 175. So in the end I learned, and the whole racing cc class system isn't as simple as it sounds. But ya in this case, reaction time, weight, purpose built vs stock, wheelie bars, gearing......not surprised.

Holly shit THAT WAS AWESOME

That is a really fast bicycle.

The 125 cc bike was like our old days pulling cars which would go faster by pulling it back more

Lol the gixxer sat there like he didnt even see the green light til an hour or so later!

i will hands down respect the guy on the 2 stroke , hes knows his business much respect , although other rider is a novice , he didnt see it comming on take off just saying

I was totally expecting this btw 🤣

I saw something similar to this when I first witnessed drag racing live. A man on a similar set up to the 125cc demolished all the Harley Davidsons and 1000cc cbr and Yamaha riders. 60 foot time was incredible let alone how quick he got he quarter mile time compared to all the bigger and faster bikes.

We kinda knew it'll happen because it's on KZfaq, right !😁 but the girl most certainly didn't expect that result

Dedicated drag bike/rider vs road course bike/street rider. Impressive launch.

I guess some people need to learn how drag racing works especially when running against someone not in your class... nice run!!

The 1000cc wasn't racing, he was just concentrating on getting a good launch (practicing), also throw a wheelie bar on the 1000 and he would have dusted him.

Two stroke can be very fast too, I use to have a Kawasaki 500 cc two stroke nothing cant beat that it so quick when you take off it's crazy

I remember seeing a Vespa scooter out gunning super bikes at the Brighton speed trials uk
