The tracks look so much cooler without monster logos everywhere
The ALL TIME 🐐
Rc on Honda was my childhood.
Simply the GOAT!!!!!
RC was just unbelievable…..his will to win was second to none….watching him on a 125 and folk saying he could be too small for a 250….then annihilates everyone on a works for 450 shows how good he was…forever the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Awesome stuff!! The crowds seem so much bigger and you can’t beat the camera flashes from the stands on the opening lap.😎such a fun time in the sport.I would like to see some Stewart 125 footage from this era
Best CHARMICHAEL ERA period. 🦾🖤⚒
I like how Big James stepped in to help.
The 🐐🐐. Keep up the great content!!
will do!
Love it thank you for sharing with us WD840
No Problem, more to come!
That black Honda was sick AF
THE goat. Him and Mcgrath were and still are the best the sport has seen.
To bad you aren't that good 😂😂🤣
@@mittiejackson3427 I wish!! LOL
Maybe in your time.
@@mittiejackson3427that's what your old lady said
@@Mr.FadedGlory she's always satisfied 100 percent she throws rocks at others I wear that thing like a sock.
My ‘02 CR250R had Woody Graphics! Throttle Jockey👍
@Rider_9 Mu buddy gphad those, dices looked cool AF!👍
im very very happy for rc's almost perfect career but on the other hand if he wasnt so successful maybe he had continued some more years and we would see more of js7 vs rc4.
For me RC will always be a kawi rider, McGrath a Yamaha and bubba a kawi.. even though they all ride different bikes and won on different bikes
Every Bike is a Kawi setup.... The GOAT will always look best in Green
JS7 next please , been lovin these types of career segment vids
He’s on the list. Just trying to find better footage of his 125 days
The sport was huge back in them days . Families could afford to ride .
Better looking bikes and gear too
Family struggle back then to ride also, people are to lazy to work today plenty of jobs out there. Everyone wants to sigh up for Go Fund accounts now people don't support there habits . Some riders parents sold businesses, some sold houses, some sold pop bottles ( James bubba Stewart) Dad did.
People now want everything given to there sorry butts.
@@mittiejackson3427 your not wrong but theres also inflation and bike prices going up let alone everything else.
@@jessesdomain444 Yelp, just like fishing money sitting on the water poor on the bank.🤣🤣🤣
Ricky C is by far the best in motocross and Jeremy M in Supercross. I feel with they both should race again for people to see that age does not matter. I know that in 6 months of training Jeremy can be ready for Supercross and Ricky ready for motocross. The reason they retire is they get burned out of many years of race no and all the hell that goes with it. It’s not age! They loose the eye of the tiger and just don’t care as much if they win or loose. I just think it would be awesome to see them do what Mike Tyson is doing. Motocross is so similar to boxing by having to be fit as well as being able to think quick. I would say they need to race maybe every other race and I’m sure they would get paid huge money to do so. People would show up just to see them race even if they didn’t do very well. No one expects them to win every race. That’s not realistic but they still have what it takes to fight to the front
That double at I believe its Broom Tioga at the 42:50 mark is way bigger than it looks. Right out of the corner too. That is a pretty unique jump for it to just be a double.
I was told personally by the Kawi team semi driver who has been with the team for 20 plus years that one of the true reasons Ricky left Kawi was he was insulted Bubba was gonnna be under the chevy trucks rig on a 125 when every other rider in history for Kawi had to be under the Pro Circuit Rig even Ricky himself. Would of been pretty cool to see RC and Bubba under the same tent whether it would of been at Kawi or Honda that 2002-2004 stretch.
The Kawi really was the worst bike of them at the time. I think that is the reason he moved to Honda. Honda had a better bike. Then idk why ricky moved to suzuki as i dont think they were as good as honda.... also, the Kawi 125 when bubba won on it was the worst bike, by far... which makes what bubba did on that 125 more insane. He was truely the fastest 125 rider, and i think he was, at times, the fastest 250 rider. He just didnt have consistency and experience overall like ricky did to win races
@@multitablez7825 Ricky went to Suzuki when his contract was up with Honda simply because of money. Suzuki offered more money he took the offer to Honda to see if they would match the Suzuki offer and Honda said no we wont match it. Honda still wanted to resign Ricky just not for the money Ricky wanted which he deserved after giving Honda the two only perfect seasons in the history of motorcycle racing at the time. All this came straight from Ricky's mouth in multiple interviews over the past few years.
As far as the bikes go its hard to say the kawi was the worst bike of them all, industry wide it is known that the KTM 2 strokes were the worst of them all at the time. And the 125 bubba was riding was an absolute rocket from 2003-2004 when they changed the design of the kawi 125 from 2002 to 2003 that was an exceptional 125. Those same 125's were dominating the amateur seen as well at the time with Ryan Villopoto, PJ Larsen, Austin Stroupe, Matt Lemoine, Trey Canard, and a few others.
Honda wasnt a good bike, KTM was the worst. Why do you think Ricky had such a fucked up setup only on the Honda?
Great rider absolutely.
Most wins..no doubt.
GOAT i doubt it.
Uh yea so he literly is the GOAT. Greatest of all time. More overall championships and overwall wins then any other rider on 2 wheels in the history of the sport. That's why everyone including his racer peers call him the GOAT.
2 PERFECT OUTDOOR SEASONS PLUS TOTAL 15 TITLES
Need to bring back the 2 strokes. 4 strokes just dont do it for me. 2 strokes = more skill to ride fast.
still wish they couldve picked up stewart back then when they had tried, imagine hrc honda with ricky on a 250 an stew in the 125 class 😮💨😮💨
100%
Stew was always gonna go Kawi on 125. 250s they tried to get him.
I wish so bad that Honda would shock the entire MX world and put out 125's and 250's again. It's so incredibly frustrating that they refuse to do it. The YZ 125's and 250's sell like freakin' hot cakes. If Honda put out two strokes again, they'd completely take over the market for them. If there's any marketing guy for Honda watching this video and reading this comment, please!, For the love of everything good in the world, pull some strings my man. Put a bug in the right person's ear. For crying out loud why won't they do this?
I worked for Honda for 15yrs, I won’t say where in the organization, but sadly this will never happen. As a company, Honda is very conscientious of their company image. They always want to be perceived as environmentally responsible and doing right for the plant. Connect this to the average non-moto head Joe and Jane that think 2 strokes are dirty, smoke, and pollute like crazy. For this reason, they won’t ever build another 2 stroke. Sad but unfortunate truth. Granted the new 2 strokes aren’t as dirty as the average Joe/Jane may think (look at the KTM FI strokes), but the perception is still there. Why do you think it’s hard to find 2 stroke yard equipment. It’s all going electric. Which I disagree with and is largely a political spin. Regardless of how one feels about all that, a Honda 2 stroke won’t happen. If they wanted to, they definitely could do it. But they don’t want to, even if they loose sales to arch rival Yamaha.
@@AnthonyV82 yeah? Well... That sucks. 👍
waow rc
I always associate RC with Suzuki for whatever reason
we dont think tha rc did every last lap a massive whip...denmostrate such a incredible phisic and shomam attitude its awesome and how ride the bike this kid!!!
Bet KAWI was bummed when he left, so was honda!!!!
God I miss the 2 smoker days
That's what we you""" are saying yeah
I never noticed it when RC was on Kawasaki or Suzuki but it always blew my mind how far dropped back RC kept his handle bars on the Honda. Didn't seem like on any other brand they were dropped back and down that far. From the spectator stand point it really seemed to be why the bike would get so out of sorts all the time until he got on the 450. As soon as the video started and he goes through the whoops the bike was immediately out of control and it happened consistently that year. Just looked uncomfortable and not very functional to have the bars like that even though RC dominated that year.
The bar and seat setup looked uncomfortable on the Honda. When he changed upright on the Suzuki, definitely looked more relaxed and quicker honestly
RC only had 48 wins, not 55.
Jeremy McGrath - 72
James Stewart - 50
Ricky Carmichael - 48
You don't get it.... 🤦♂️
@@acecheeks9495 I don’t get it? There is nothing to get. RC has 48 SX wins. 55 makes no sense.
@@DrumGPearl Carmichael had 54 career pro wins while he rode Honda
This isn’t just SX wins it’s Supercross and Motocross wins while he rode for Honda.
why are the films so blurry? Have you copied over the origional, that its not worth watching?
Nice watching Ricky beating 4 strokes on his 2 stroke CR 250. I wonder why they had to ban 2 strokes and now they're not being developed like they were. Oh and don't ever say a 2 stroke can be fast, thats not allowed. Call them 2 smokers and leave it at that, ''its fast for a 2 smoker'' -you can say that, ok, beech.
This stuff is interesting if you're 12 years old.
2 stroke always wins.
