The days of two-stroke bikes was the greatest times , they ran like hell and did lap times no one thougt possible and the sound and smell was awsom , best days
This period of GP racing was so much more exciting than today.
Today is like watching old ladies on vespa, these guys and bikes were awesome in comparison.
@@RT22-pb2ppglory days 🇦🇺
2 great unforgettable kings of motorcycling together. R.I.P. Barry!!!We're gratefully thanks for all these wonderful times!!!
One of the greatest, fiercest ( and most sporting ) duels ever
A great illustration of huge competitiveness, but also 100% trust, between two sporting giants in motorcycling....
I was at Silverstone to witness this race as a 17 year old , I travelled from home with mates on my Rd200 . Thank you for posting .😊
That RD is pretty small - how many friends did you have on it?
Joking of course. I had a friend in HS he had a Suzuki 500 twin. I saw him with as many as 3 more on the bike.
@@randydewees7338 I was solo - there was a group of us that travelled, sorry I didn’t make that clear. 😊
@@plaistowboy2792 For sure, I couldn't help myself. I had a RD125 back then, same bike but less power, I rode the wheels off it.
@@randydewees7338 🏍️ 👏
Me too. I was 18 I rode up from Brighton on my Suzuki GT 250. Great days. Barry has never been replaced in gp bike racing.
『2人とも最高のレースが出来た事が嬉しくて、順位なんて大した問題じゃ無くなってた』って言ってたな。
歴史に残る好レース😊
What a race
Bazza 🇬🇧 and King Kenny 🇺🇸 where the class of the field during the late 70s and early 80s and the 1979 British MotoGP is the best example of why they where the best in there time
RIP Bazza 🇬🇧🏍🇬🇧🏍🇬🇧🏍🇬🇧
It's great that Roberts and Sheene were able to become good friends. I was a late comer to motorcycles, 30 when I started in dirt bikes, but I did get to see Roberts race the dirt in person at Santa Fe Park, which was near my house and at Indy, Du Quion, Peoria, before he left for Europe.
Fantastic. Just goes to show how involved the riders were in everything then. Arguing with the scrutineer. lol
Agostini, Roberts, Rossi, and Marquez paved the way for motorcycle and tire development reaching 60° lean angles and dragging both knees and elbows today on two tires.
I remember that season...I was in Spanish GP at Jarama circuit in Madrid...GREAT MEMORIES!!!!❤️❤️❤️🏆🏆🏆
Late 70s 70 late 80s best time in gp racing great riders and 2 strokes perfection.
My heroes when I was a young lad.
Mine too, I don't even watch Moto GP these days.
@@philipbooth7779long live the king’s 🇦🇺
que bonita epoca y bonitas motos saludos desde españa
Brilliant racing 👍👍👍
Champions 🏁🏁
I'll bet Kenny wishes he'd patented the knee slider after inventing them. Both no bullshit blokes that say it how it is. We miss you Bazza.
I'm younger and also came to MotoGP 2 years ago, didn't know much about the sport's history. Watching these old clips I'm struck by how raw and direct the scene is, these days it's more managed and contained. I couldn't imagine the riders digging out one of the Dorna administrators on camera like Barry Sheen at the start of this clip. I don't necessarily agree the racing is THAT much different, I think that's probably a side effect of growing older and the good old days, although there is a lot that has been lost in the culture of the sport for sure. The new version has its appeal in a different way, more tech and militaristic somehow.
The Legend 😃👍🏍👍
{Almost} The same finish as in Brno 1996 500cc GP, between Àlex Crivillé & Mick Doohan. Sensational!
I was able to see Kenny at the end of his career at Road Atlanta and yes he won that day and did a spectacular whelle at high speeds
Esas si eran verdaderas carreras,verdaderas máquinas,verdaderos pilotos
I was there on race
day & got both Barrys & Kennys signature side by side on a £1.00 note by being a bit crafty as they would never sign on the same document,we were there at the the to Silver Dream racer being filmed.
I recall my sporting idols in the the mid to late 70's were Muhammad Ali, George Best, James Hunt and Barry Sheene.
Thats cool to see kenny an barry having a laugh....cant help when u have a personality humor slips out....thanks
Das wahren Helden...🏍️🏍️🏁
I was there went down on a Bonny at the time. great day so much drama in the 70's
awesome video
Great times Was there
Great race, I still have my Grandstand ticket I think it was just over £8. A Bargain in today's money.
I was on the pitwall for this one after getting chucked out of the Honda area for taking photos of the NR500 ( asked the mechanics and they said no prob !)
I find it curious as Kenny was wearing a Goodyear cap. At that time I was working as an apprentice at the Goodyear factory in Sydney Australia. It was behind Rose hill racecourse. We had a heap of slicks stored there no one wanted. Story was they would blister at high speed, ie Conrad.
I was there great times king barry
brill could watch it all day.
What happened that the oil was shooting out and then quickly fixed ??
I was there that day, a great weekend
GUYS BARRY SHEENE IS MY DADS COUSIN AJSDJJSJSSJS 😭👌
New to the bike racing (motoGP and other series) fandom, I have found watching the older races where the announcers didn't talk through the whole race, rather only announcing key events etc... seems so much better. IDK... as I said, I'm new..
0:14 Bobby Irwing From Dallas
Preciosa la Yamaha de K. R.
1:22 I saw a ATK shirt. I didn't know ATK was a around in the 70's.... I just googled it and ATK is also football club. oops
I was there .
Man I miss two strokes
Same as in go-kart racing. The four strokes they use now sound like lawnmowers.
Della serie : Smanietti a .. Robert’s
Roberts to be fair had better machinery here as Barry's Suzuki was really no match for the Yamaha.
Pertamax (frist)😁🙏
後にも先にもキングと呼べるライダーはケニーだけです！
Poor old Barry. Like any real racer all he ever wanted was to get on his bike and race and being surrounded by officious officials just got on his tits.
I'd seen the clip below a few times before an Aussie mate told me that the commentator was Barry Sheene after he had moved to Oz because the weather in Britain gave him such pain in the nuts and bolts that were holding his body together:

This drama was all staged by Roberts and Sheen.
