Au revoir Gilles Coulanges 😢, cette vidéo nous rappellera à tous quel grand champion tu étais ; un homme passionné et talentueux qui nous a émerveillé pendant tant d’années , RIP ❤

Even today there is still nothing to beat the sound and feel of a 2stroke motorcycle, I grew up with them, and younger people don't know what they missed out on.

This is the best 500cc 2 stroke video on youtube!!! OMG I love this guy he knows how to keep it on throttle!!! KEEP THE 2 STROKES ALIVE, CAUSE WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE NUMBA #1!!!

Voilà encore de quoi pleurer 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Super CHAMPION

That's the best sound I have ever heard in my entire life.

This dude rides the BALLS of this thing ! I had an RG500 for a while in my twenties , bloody lucky to still be here me thinks !! Still stirs my insides listening to this bike screaming up the mountain side like it does . 4 strokes are smooth and fast BUT , I'm sorry they just don't compare to raw power and sound of the 2 bangers when your on it (the gas that is ).

J’ai eu la chance de le voir plusieur fois en course de côte avant son accident un grand passionné et très bon pilote (Rustine)

And he knows HOW to use it, great skills.

savage acceleration! and notice how agile it is through that tight twisty turns...that rider is having a blast!

quand j'etais gosse, la 500 et la 250 rgv me faisait rever.........et encore aujourd'hui,les meme frissons.j'en veux une!!!

OMG, What a Dream, please bring back the good old 2 Stroke time 🤩💪😎

What a bike !! These were GP bikes !! And what a pilot...he rides really fast !! Chapeau !

Deux sons mythiques, la RG, et René...

Amazing POWER, shoking cornering, lovely sound, terrific fuel/oil consuption =)

Nice. I have watched this over and over, and it never gets old.

Damn I miss that sound in grand prix 500cc/250cc/125cc even

This is amazing. A great bike and really aggressive riding on an unforgiving road. Excellent!

This is ART

sa frotte dans tout les coins par ici ! super video

super,génial,merci,c'est vraiment extra d'avoir des vidéos comme ça !!! 2 strokes spirit !

Beautiful! Carburation is absolutely spot on! Sweet as!

i think that no one on earth will have the balls to ride a 1000CC 2STROKE! thats just OVER 9000!!! and beyond!

I liked this video 13 years ago and still like it today. Nice to see it in the recommended vids again 👍

Miss the 2 stroke superbikes :/ I hope they'll make new superbikes with the direct-injection 2 stroke engines!

2stroke sound lasts forever. its soooooooooo cool and amazing fast hillclimb racer!!

you can`t beat this sound.magic...

thats freakin sound an extreme fast. great skills and great machine

unbelievable two-stroke sound and driver!

Superb start ! Lovely bike that could win the classic tt !

Ohhhh what a sound got shivers down my spine

the sound is amazing

Awesome sound and good ride!

Came back just to ear that sound!! sooo many revs :)

Absolutely on the limit!!!! GLORIOUS‼️

WOW my heartbeat just went skihigh puuhh!! Loved it!!!

Dont know much about bikes, but there's not much on earth that sounds as good as a crisp 2 stroke sound when the powervalves open. This gentleman certainly knows how to ride a light, high strung machine. very flickable and light. he's not scared either. vive les 2 temps. hope he's doing ok.

This is what needs to come back into gp racing

Peter hartmann is sponsorised by Yamaha (the number 309) that's why he put it on the tank. I assure you, it's an highly modified RG 500! The yellow numbered one (the number 301) -as bolloïde said- (thanx to him, by the way! mets tout le DVD STP!) is RG 575, with Gilles on handlebar. LONG LIFE to TWO STROKE Merci bull ;-)

my newest favourite 2 stroke noise!

Bravo pilota, bella moto!

Amazing RG500, amzing riding.

I think *this* was what startled me on the freeway 35 years ago, going by the exhaust arrangement.

A lot of young riders and new riders are missing out on moving through the two stroke ranks.. I think its an important part of learning to ride bikes riding quick 2 stroke bikes. Thats the way it always was. Start on the two strokes.

I agree with frido. Absolutely the best sound on this planet

Very well ridden changing up and down in the corners

Amazing!!! i am lost for words.

Oh my word!!!! That is how bikes should look & sound!! AMAZING :-o

Merçi pour cette précision, je me posais justement la question!c'est celle avec la roue arrière noire

I watched it, maybe 193 times...

2 stroke!! love it! gotta have balls to do this.

That is one truly awesome sounding streetbike! 2 STROKESSSSSS,!

This might be the coolest bike I've ever seen.

my alltime favorite bike. love the sound love the looks love riding it

2 stroke full power!

.....bekomme ich Gänsehaut beim dem Sound :-)

LOVELY!! Thanks for sharing

this bike is awesome .. 2 strokes for ever !

ke espectaculo!!! increible sonido.......

Franchement quel pilote!! Et la brele mon dieu elle tartine violament et ce bruit

great bike great skills

This is a 600/1000-4t killer! 2T forever!

Crazy Rider... I drive a Motorcycle, too, but I couldn´t drive like that. I would piss in my Pants. Respect Man!

0:56 single swing arm nice didnt know that love that machines its history

Great sound ever

hero hero hero build the bike, race the bike, HERO I wish him well in the recovery.

rg 500 is by far my favourite 500cc 2tstroke and there gettin rarer by the day. would love a lucky strike rg. tht bike there tho defo be takin tht to the iom tt ti show it off :P

that sound...............love it )

Nice video a pleasure for the senses, the eyes - to see a great rider having it large in beautiful surroundings, the ears - nearly had an eargasm that bike sounds damn sexy. Shame no more 2strokes in gps :(

How wonderful to see & hear one ridden in anger

wow it's seems a 4 strokes in the lo rpms, i mean the sound (the only nice sound of 4 strokes) but when the rpm are getting higher starts the 2 stroke sound, exelent!!!

Australian firm Tularis makes 800cc stroker twin racers with 180hp, and 1200triples with 270hp Suzuki strokers from Polaris, Arctic cat snowmobiles. A reporter were allowed to test the 800, and he was very scared afterwards:)

damn that things fast!! gotta love 2strokes, and the sound too! the rider is very skilled i bet this bike would slaughter my yzf-r6 99'' in a 1/4 mile and on the circuit!

Best Motorcycle in the world :) I like it

he made a very nice bike and he don t look it only in the garage.........he drives it to the limits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speechless

No no no that is a very trick Suzuki RG500 special made by French king of the mountain Gilles Coulanges!!!

i want this bike so bad. I love it. Really.

@SuzukiRM250Rider62 yep says it on the tank but id take no notice coz she got single sided swing arm too sounds like a very nice home build bike.

Oh god they sound so good

0:40 juqu'a 0:42 cest trooop trooop fort buuuuuaaaaaaap 2 stroke forever...

Vive le 2 Tps ! V à tous !

@OnlyViolence same feeling man, have watched it over 50 times i swear!

what a narrow and high tecnic indeed!

Damn that's beast 2stroke sports suzuki

In 1972, some built the Byra "OSSA MAYOR" 1000cc 4cyl 2 stroke... but it turned into a dramatic storie and it ended as soon at it started. This bike was 115HP. Also i'm pretty sure about another 1000cc or big cubic 2T built betwen 1995 and 2000, can't remember...

Damn this is fast...

thats a good pilot

oddio ke spettacolo.... fa paura... deve essere una bestia!

Thumbs up if you pressed replay repeatedly. I really hope i would get to drive something similar to this. I love 2-strokes!

Direct Injection 2 strokes have been in boating and in the snowmobile industry for awhile and they are much more cleaner than a 4 stroke of the same horsepower. Look at the E-tec boat motors from Evinrude, they are direct injected 2 strokes and are pushed harder than cars and last just as long. Look at the ski doo E tec also.

It took 5 cylinder 1000cc V5 with nitro 4 strokes with traction control, advanced suspension and computers to beat these litle 500cc's V4 2 Strokes in MotoGP. There is NO better, more powerful form of kinetic energy than a 2 stroke.

ca va vite !

yep... here Iam again after almost a decade. :)

dream bike !

ORGASMIC SOUND !

A gépek királya a királyok gépe

Twostrokes which don't have pistons firing exactly simultaneously, must always have one *expansion chamber* per cylinder. On a two stroke the exhaust has a different task. It has to create a counter-pressure, a pressure-wave which among other things keep excess fuel inside the cylinder, but also give a tuned stroker optimal power at high reves, along with the other tuning-gear. On a four-stroke it's just "as much in as possible and out as possible, so a big pipe will do for four cylinders:)

so good

il s'agit de Gilles Coulanges au début et à la fin de la vidéo. Au milieu, il s'agit de la seule RGC500 qu'il ai fabriquée pour qqn avec Peter Hartmann à son guidon.
