1993 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX 500cc MARLBORO TEAM ROBERTS YAMAHA YZR 500

Nothing beat these machines. Damn im born in the wrong era. In my country, we only left we 150cc 2 strokes bikes. The last i seen was back in 1995 when my dad sold his Suzuki RG 400. He very much regretted selling it cause the power delivery of the 1000cc 4 stroke can’t match the 2 strokers. Amazing. Pure adrenaline. Guess what? He’s getting for me Aprilia RS 125 for me haha. Thanks dad! and 2 stroke rules! :’))

@Revanche2strokes I just want to say that i liked the 500 2-strokes very much but the same for the 4-strokes 800 or 1000. and I to am against what honda is doing to the sport just look at the starting grid 2011 only 17!, but that doesn’t mean that 4-strokes is nothing and 2-strokes is everything! what i meant with more respect is for the riders and the technicians and everyone who eventually makes it possible that we the fans can talk all this bullshit to eachother here on youtube

MotoGP will be gone soon. Attendance is way down, sponsorship money is waning, the small factories who raced have been forced out, by you know who & for those who have stood with the 4 stroke agenda, should be ashamed, even if you are a fan of the 4 stroke, racing should be fair. If this was the case, the fans and small co’s would come back. But since it’s a monopoly, people see thru it & most fans are done with the disparity. Racing, like life should have someone fighting for the injustice’s.

@mr77gg You say it’s about respect for the riders? Let me tell you something sobering in regards to the riders, in 20 years of 500cc 2 stroke GP racing, one racer died. In 10 years of 4 strokes, 3 have died. If 2 strokes were inferior they should go away, but to be saddled with so many stupid rules that they cannot overcome them, all in the name of being green, when it’s only about money is assanine. BTW, an F1 race pollutes more in 1 week than an entire season of 2 stroke racers ever did.

Exactly and well put.

You might guess I want real racing to return and 500 strokers from this era brought us the best racing in the history of the sport. For the past several years its been a snore.

@dalla125 I bet you can’t handle a 4-stroke 800, let alone a 1000! (gp bike)
@Revanche2strokes why do people like you always have to talk in this kind of way?
like you have any nostalgic feelings as if you would like a rick astley to make his comeback!
in your opinion the 4-stroke motogp’s are shit! these heroes don’t deserve this kind
of comments, not from you and not from anyone else! i’ve been watching motoGP
and 500′s for around 20 years now and all these guys deserve more respect!

okay, i put my hand up….why did they get rid of the 2 strokes?Seems a shame they always smell kinda sweet and sound nice too.

are you serious, BATTLAX, are all the way from 1993, thats awsome, GO BRIDGESTONE!!!

@Bonenreaker, ergo my point. When facing only a 1/2 size disadvantage, the smokers still… well smoked the 4 strokes. Long live the 2 stroke GP bike, the real champion. Honda et al can say and race whatever they want, but they and anyone with any intelligence knows that if given a chance, the smokers would still rule.
