To see these guys RACE the 500’s at all-out top form, pushing the bikes (highly modified WORKS bikes) to their limits…both wheels sliding thru the turns, and skimming the front tire around the track mostly. Well, the racers of today are really good…YES. BUT, these bikes made huge HP and they pushed these WORKS bikes to their limits, for longer heats & motos! These old bikes & racers were simply cutting edge phenomenal💪🔥⚡️⚡️and I’ve ridden KX500’s since I was 21yrs old…I’m almost 53 now & still ride my 1988 KX500 regularly💚👌⚡️😎

I was lucky enough for my Dad to take me to see Bob "Hurricane" Hannah win a title in the Astrodome in 1975. My first YZ was a '77 80cc. I always felt free on my dirtbike, '82 YZ490 (it was cheaper in '84 than the 125 next to it), '86 YZ250, '99 YZ250, '04 YZ250. Dirtbikes are the key to a happy life! NOT POLITICS!! I do have several broken ribs I still feel from 20 years ago. 😂

When real men raced dirt bikes. I'm 64 and have been on both sides of the fences since the first motocross race I attended back in 1972. I believe that racing Europe on the 500 two strokes of the '70s & '80s was the most difficult and brutal racing there was. The only other era/venue I consider to be most dangerous would be the '80s & 90's US supercross & motocross.

Unidilla and Broome Tioga. Broome Tioga sold out later to Texas for millions .Still a track there but not the pro riders. Awesome old video thanks for the memories. Can almost smell the exhaust. 🙂

2 STROKE 500CC Lackey the year he won the title the reason why factory riders fall down in simple turns nowadays is because 4 strokes are too easy to ride and they lose focus

Excellent film for the period,good commentary! Could be considered to be the beginning of the real dominance of the Jap manufacturers. Shame for the European manufacturers and lack of development when you consider that Lawrence Spence was probably on an almost standard production bike!?
