And this is what most people forget. There's sod all profit in bike racing for those actually running teams, most times it's just wealthy enthusiasts piling their own money in for the fun. And without them we'd have no sport. We all owe these guys - and gals, like Faye Ho - a beer.

Quick tip lads. We pour 100 or 200ml of fuel in to the measuring tube then add the 2 stroke oil after. It saves loads of messing about. Great vids, keep up the good work!

Yeah, no experience with race bikes, but my RGV250P was the best bike I've owed/riden. Shouldn't of sold it, but like the owner before sold because of child on way. Rode RD's and Rg(s)'s all types/sizes(not 50/80) other than the rear straight. Now been priced out of the 2 stroke market. Had to get a lardie CBR600RR 08.

I love the older bikes and especially the two strokes. At my age it was originally four strokes. Then came the big two stroke era. Back to the four stroke. And now the era of too many electronics, like anything mechanical. Not really interested in the modern stuff. What is the point of building a bike that can't be ridden by a human without a computer. Power to weight ratio on the two strokes totally changed racing. Listening to the start of a GP grid was awesome. Takes me back to better days.

My second RS250 was a 1987, very trick with a cassette gear box but it had a bad tendency to blow up and experience braking issues 😳 With all the problems American Honda was awesome with support even supplying a complete upgraded 1988 engine that my tuner did his magic making it a rocket that nobody could ever pass me on the straights 🚀😉
