Such a cool video. I wish you continue doing these. Rare bikes, no annoying music or long introductions, great footage and roads. Love this format.

Oh what a sound. For the person who gave it a thumbs down you should be ashamed of yourself

4 strokes are amazing but the sound of the 2 stroke make your soul smile I love it

I had the Yamaha RD 350 ccm YPVS but my Dream was Always the 500 ccm ,more Power for chasing big bikes on the country roads 💪Amazing Engines from Yamaha 😘👌

That brings back very fond memories. I owned one for 4 years from the late 80's. I had it Dynoed, it made 72 rear wheel horse power, which, even today is not too bad from a 500cc bike. The 16inch front wheel was scary at times, If you didn't have the steering damper wound up it could slap real bad. The noise and smell were fantastic, I felt like Wayne Rainey every time I got on it. One of only two 'bikes out of very very many that I wished Id never sold.

Back in the '84-'86, I bought an '80RD400 in mint shape off my cousin with 2500 miles(4000kms) off him. He hardly rode it. Stock, it was a fun bike and I was already pretty good at wheelies on bicycles and dirt bikes. This one was awesome to do them on and I could go a few hundred feet, especially uphill. I put racing chambers, K&N pod filters and Boyessen Reeds in it. I took the back steel taillight/license plate/fender off and tucked the taillight under the seat cowl. After taking the stock pipes off (two piece, headpipe and muffler) just one of the mufflers without the headpipe was heavier than the entire box from California! Bet I gained 15-20 HP and dropped 30 or more pounds off an already light almost new bike. That thing was QUICK! Before the changes, I had to clutch the bike to wheelie. Afterwards, I loved pulling away from a stop and while barely moving, bury the throttle at 2000rpm. It would bog, but when it hit 5500rpm or so, it would lift the front wheel sky high just by t hitting the power band! Sold it a few months later though to buy a bigger bike. Sure miss the old girl!

OMG…….memories. I LOVED my RZ. Ahhhhh….the sound, the smell and the vibrations….that right there was a bike. Bare bones and raw. Wish I too ( like Jeff Greens comment ) had never sold it. Ugh……

I used to own an RG500, boy does it bring back memories.

Best road one I’ve seen

Had an '80 RD400 in the mid 80's. Posted the mods and power increase in the post below. Unfortunately, I sold the bike when a friends father offered to buy it for a "beginner" bike for his daughter.I thought, sure, my buddies all had bigger bikes. Went to the dealer, and it was love at first sight. Bought a brand new '85 Kawi 900 Eliminator which I have to this day for a reason! two weeks after selling the RD, I wished I'd kept it, but didn't think about it at the time and it paid for the insurance. A month later, the girl who bought the RD slowly dumped it, hitting gravel turning into a country driveway. Heard about that one. Then her brother flipped it over doing wheelies a week later (Thought he knew how to ride!). I saw it after that and nearly cried! That bike was mint when I sold it to her! To this day, I still get a "stiffy" every time I hear a two stroke start up, which is rare and far between!

Amazing! What a song she sings. The sounds that bike makes are SO GOOD.

... jetzt habe ich auch wieder Lust auf Zweitakter bekommen ... 😎✌

Wish Id not sold mine, sweet bike.

Maybe one of my favorite bike ever

Imagine how good would a 2023 RZV500 be. I really do hate all this Euro 5 bullshit. 2 Stroke bikes are the business.

Those pipes sound amazing

I’m guess I’m gonna have to one up this one.

Top of third doing over 160kmh. I had an 84 RZ 500 and an 85 RZ 250. Australia. Wish I still had them both.

Superb!

Love the start..ring ding ding ding ding...LOL

What an iconic bike from the 80s. A guy around the corner from me had one and I can still hear it passing my house to this day. I hadn't a hope of ever owning one as I had no money at the time. 😞 Nice to see them driven as intended.

I used to ride on roads like this. So many of the best roads are also the most dangerous. if you slide out at high speeds you slide into the rocky hillside and are dead. and if you slide out in the other direction you go off a cliff. ( Nice bike ) in 85 I had the first 1984 Ninja 900.

Great video! Loved no music or talking was great to hear the engine! Love the other videos too don’t get me wrong

Sounds So GOOD!!!! Two RD twins mated into a V4 ( unless i am mistaken )

Great video really enjoyed seeing and hearing that blast up the road, reminded me of my old RD350 ypvs !

Awesome² sounds ❗✌🏻 stroke 👊🏻

That wail sounds so good.

The sound 👌

Dan that sound is Eargasm

Great video ‼️.. thank you .. love the sound of the big two strokes 🤩

Tres beau son !!

Sweet sound. Like a big chain saw. I love it.

nice ride

I’m a big fan of the smaller 2 strokes but it is very cool seeing the big one rip around for sure.

That is exactly how that bike sounds in real life.

Merveilleuse musique .

Love the format and the concept. But less than 3 minutes? More like a teaser video for an upcoming 30min video!

🙏

I just rode those Mountain roads of Arizona but on my T700 Tenere not my RZ 500! :)

👏🏽... Just👌🏼!!

My dream bike!

Very good tuning. Hardly any smoke from the tailpipe.

You guys have all the best toys. Great little video 👍🏻

What a sound. 😍 some cool shots in this video. Nicely done. Just watched the bike curious video of it as well.

Nice bike🤙🤙

Always Wanted the RD 500..

Schönes Bike aber die RG 500 Gamma von Suzuki wahr noch schöner hatte ein besseres Fahrwerk und eine Motorentechnik samt besessen Getriebe und Vergasertechnik die von der originalen damaligen Rennsport Technik übernommen wurde. Und mehr PS und Power sowieso. Aber die RD 500 wahr auch schon sehr gut. Vor allem dieses schöne Zweitakter Gebrüll ich habe es geliebt 🎶🎶🔊🔊👍👌 und mit dem richtigen Öel oder bisschen Rizinusöl mit in den Tank und es hat schön gerochen.🤪

Une merveille !

Wow....180 KM/H really fast

The bike I should have bought

Like my friends RD Top de line

Wow, really is party time at 7k RPM, huh.

Awesome!! 💨💨💯💯 🙂 ..looks like you're at Azusa?

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Fuck yes 🤟

A 350 já anda imagina a 500

god that sounds good tb they didn't make a 1000cc

This bike can do a lot more... You just used 20% of power... 2T is not 4T you must use that throttle

Let’s be honest, these were never very good. Compromised engine design, as complex as a four stroke, never that quick. That doesn’t mean to say I don’t want one. They look and sound fantastic, and that’s enough.

Too short
