My condolences to RV and family said to here about his dad passing away R.I.P DV

RIP Dan V. You will forever be In our hearts!

Great idea but come on with the music guaranteed everybody who watches this video wants to hear the bikes

Seriously, who ever edits these videos needs to learn how to balance the sound. Can hardly hear the bikes over the music.

Rv2 has always been one of my favorite riders and seeing him after retirement makes me an even bigger fan!! R.I.P Dan. Prayers to the Villo family

They need to keep these 2 strokes around if not they will loose out or miss out on talented riders who cant afford the cost that come with a 4stroke when they break

Im very curious to see the data. I grew up riding and racing 2 strokes since 1980. Over the years there have been alot of mag articles talking about whats faster. Whats more economical to run. 2 strokes rule vs 4 strokes rule arguments.... you know all that stuff. What it boils down to is... ride what you have funn on. Ride what you own and be happy. If your low on funds.... 2 strokes ABSOLUTELY. If your joe pro next the guy racer man with someones money buyin ur stuff.... 4 stroke all the WAY. It took me 38 years riding to realize whats important... being on DIRT! Handlebars in your hands... wheels under you on dirt... dont matter if its a z50 or a cr500 as long as your having fun.

Can you turn down the music?? I can't hear the bikes!!!!!

Major KUDOS to Yamaha for continuing to build their 2-strokes. What a cool concept, interesting idea. And Ryan picked the 250F..!

I think Yamaha encouraged RV to say he would buy the 250f, I see a lot more videos of him having fun on the 125 then the 250f.

First time seeing RV ride without a neck brace in a long time.

Who dubs music over the sweet music of a 2 stroke! That's the only music you need to hear!

Two stroke forever!

Where to find the side panel graphic decal with the YZ 250 letters in the numbers?

Also, one thing the software didn’t pickup is the FUN FACTOR! Two strokes hands down

That's a really cool idea, I'm looking forward to that article. I frequently switch back and forth between 2 and 4 as well as different displacements. There is always a give and take. Will be neat to see some hard data showing that.

It would be nice to see Ryan compete this year at selected supercross races 👍🏻. Long live the 2 stroke

U know what I wanna see I wanna see all the pros race on their brands 85s like for fun tho

Great comparison video ,never seen one like this done before .

Can't wait to read about it Donn. But, yet again you had the perfect opportunity. To compare all those bikes using an Ex-pro. Like Ryan Villipoto. You, should have thrown in a 500cc Conversion. Aluminum or KTM steel.

Condolences to RV,family, & friends. I hope RV returns to racing in the premier class. What better of a challenge for a competitor than to ascend the mountain as an underdog.

Great video Swap. Looking forward to the results in the magazine. To bad the tech on the 2 smokes is 15 years old.

Yamaha needs to start making a 500 2 stroke

@transworld when was this filmed? He’s riding a 2018 250f and would’ve loved to hear some feedback from rv on the 2019 yz250f.

How do you take Into account, the riders warm up level? What I mean is, I always ride faster once I warm up. And what about fatigue?

Seeing the number 2 on a yz250 feels right Haha takes me back to the late 90s early 2000s

Can we see the data??

Why didnt you put results on the video no body reads magazines anymore im not buying your magazine to get the results i really wanted to see the 125 and 250f results

YZ forever 💪.YAMAHA MOVING FORWARD 👍🇲🇾

I agree on the music part, please shut off. (Old fart thing). RV, from a withdrawn robot pro to “The People’s Champ”. Never say never. RIP to his Dad, just when it was getting fun.

I’d be more interested to see the difference between the 250 vs 250f

Music over the bike engine should be illegal. But RV is the man! Thoughts and good vibes to him and his family. ❤️

You would put music over this why????

Stand by for the data??? YOU TEASE. Lol great idea & vid though.

Keep up the good work RV & Twmx

where are the lap times????

@ 4:02 that is bad ass

my great respect for Mr. Ryan Villopoto! KAAWASAKI GUY!

I’d like to see him rip on a CR500AF

too epic for him in 2018, too many years since his domination in ama on kawasaki 250f

Who else wants to see Yamaha make a two stroke to compete with the KTM 300XCW?? We’re waiting.....

Gostei sou seu fã esse também é meu sonho ser um piloto de motocross

R.I.P Dan V. Sad to here it.😭😭

I wanna see the specs

Pretty useless video.I was looking forward to the lap times of each bike.I doubt they will ever release the times because the 2 strokes are probably a lot closer to the four strokes then what yamaha would want.

I wish I just had one 10 years old or not I wanna ride 😔

Hello?? Got to hear the BAAARRRRPPP

im a big fun of ryan villopoto... go broo..

🤦‍♀️... makeing me wait, huh?

4 stoke gang ! ! ! 🤟

I love you ryan villopoto you are my idol

They should have left off the music so we could hear the bikes

C'mon Transworld editors, turn the damn music down

Come on transworld kill the music we want to hear the bikes

I wonder how his heart rate and oxygen levels compared between bikes. I’m guessing the 125 was the most demanding.

250F wins for RV! Weekend-riders need to get off the 4-fattys and learn some technique!! Good job out there @chrishay Looking forward to seeing the data

YZ250 Manual Operation VS YZ450F Automatic Operation.. 😑

Heaven knows what you wanna time for me tonight omg 😮

You can all thank Joey Landcaster, the OG of the 125 dream race for the spike in interest in the two stroke again! Total BS what they did to him and his dream race, cutting him out and creating their own 125 races during the nationals. Such BS. Long live Danger Danny V. RIP 🙏

Yz 125 gratest bike ever made any one can ride them from novice to pro grate all round bike

He looks heaps better without the neck brace

Teaser

Sure, I clicked on this link to hear really crappy music dubbed over the sound of RV ripping on the bike's. 💩

Great idea to do, but here again what’s never talked about for a comparison is that you are comparing not 2t vs 4t! You are comparing 2019 technology developed over 14 years compared to the YZ 2 strokes which were developed in 2004 for 2005 model, so what if those years in development were equal, even RV says they’re very little difference in times speeds, it is weight, inertia, etc vs power to ground, always the ease of riding a 4t more throttle control with a 2 stroke, ride a Euro 300 2t TPI or Beta, GasGas, etc and find out how smooth they are, to me the throttle control or skills in MX have been degraded with the easy to ride aspect, twice the capacity and years of development and still little difference, where rules are even in Enduro GP look at the results of the 5 World Championship class’s in 2018, Youth 125, senior Youth, E1, E3, EGP all these class except the youngest class had 4t competing with 2t and all 5 of these class were won over the season by 2t, the only class won by 4t was E2 and guess what it’s a 4t class only, I mention this because all the bikes in this genre of racing have had same development over the years, even though different levels of development levels. Where true competition where rules are even, the stats don’t lie, this was the same in MX up until the 2006 season, most wins and most championships were still won on 2t against twice the cc 4t.

GOAT!!!

Should have rode an 85

why the hell do you always have to add music, if we wanted to listen to music we would watch a music vid

250 класс 2т

Lets face it 4 strokes are yard work 2 strokes are for ripping it up but look at it this way any time you need to double the displacement of the motor to keep up it's a joke if 4 strokes are so great it would be 125 vs 125 until then stop with the videos like this it's not nice to make fun of the 4 stroke community its not there fault there bikes are slow

music ruined the whole thing

Just wandering why isn't Ryan riding Kawasaki's

Sorry to hear about ryans dad.. shitty.

Why is he on the 18' though? Like they really couldnt get the 19' for him?

Break out an old yz490 two smoke Then check the heart rate

💞😍💖💓

FINALLY show us some real fucking data comparing shit straight up. 250 2t is WAY better than 250F. They should make a modern 450 2 stroke to show how gay these 450Fs really are.

2 strokes or nothing.

Tm makes way better 2 strokes!

well that was lame.

wow ... what a huge shame they put music in the riding part huge fail transworld

boooo

Well very interesting but you ruined it with the crap music 😩on the pipe folks not gay music 👍✊🏻💨💨💨💨

Vilo needs to move his glasses farther from his face.
