Great race. Steady Eddie was there at the end. Bad luck Gardner, but, that’s show business! And bike racing! These guys are all Legends! Never to be repeated. Four strokes, are far easier to ride, than these, wicked missiles! Great Stuff, thanks for posting.
Barry Sheene would give the bravery award to Schwantz, and who'd argue with him? Some of the moves he pulled off on the Suzuki's over the years were incredible. I still remember him passing Rainey going into the stadium section of the old Hockenheim circuit, so hard on the brakes to pass him that his back wheel was bouncing around like a Mexican jumping bean. But he pulled it off and won the race.
Watching back these good old GPs, I'm getting pretty sure, that Schwantz would have been more succesful, if his bikes had been a bit quicker, like the Hondas and Yamahas. The only thing he could do is to improve his braking and turning technique to a magic level to keep pace with his rivals. (I saw him even in a rainy race (fighting with Wayne Rainey), where at brakings he lifted the back wheel from the ground.) Suzuki as a brand has a lot to thank to him.
@@ferencszabo9126 ...Agreed. If the Suzuki had similar horsepower to the factory Honda and Yamaha's, Schwantz would have been a multiple champ, not a one timer. Some of his crashes during this time were born out of simply trying too hard on an underpowered bike.
Shwantz rode the ass Of The Suzuki to be competitive,if he'd had more horsepower in the engine and more input with tuning the bike then I certainly think he would have won more than He did, He crashed so much because He was always pushing the limits of the bike,his talent is what carried Suzuki, Bazza Sheene was riding a bike underpowered and did a awesome job for Suzuki Too
yea, I still remember watching that race live on Speed Channel- there's no way in hell that I thought Kevin was gonna get through that corner without cleaning out Wayne - that one of the Suzuki's strong points - stability under braking 37:08
I remember watching on TV getting a buzz on and going out straight after for a fast ride on my katana..loved those days..two strokes and racing are a match made in heaven.
On voit bien que la yam de sarron manque de vitesse dans la grande ligne droite, mais à chaque fois il repasse en tête dans les virages.Énorme baston .4 Supers pilotes
one can give credit to achieving all that amazingly horsepower from the NSR and YZF500's are 2 of the most talented 2 stroke tuners on the planet, Erv Kanemoto, and Bud Aksland
Aaron Maughan Probably because his bike was really down on top Speed compared to the other bikes and he got screwed by the back markers, but couldn’t believe his luck when Gardner had engine trouble.
Notare la straordinaria sportività e correttezza di Gardner che, pur sentendosi probabilmente morire, si sposta di lato e fa passare il trio che lo seguiva per non sporcare la pista. Grandi tempi per grandi piloti.
Steady Eddie Lawson really had good potential on power and good lines and bravery until the end he knew he would work hard for that race. Paul Ricard is a fast and bumpy track at different lines from the initial exit and throughout the turns. ❤😅🎉🎉🎉
I heard from a reliable source that HRC almost fired Gardner post race for beating and caving in the gas tank with his fist on the cool off lap in front of over 80,000 fans
Honda is far too straight-laced for anyone with passion or style. Yamaha embraces it. Suzuki and Kawasaki tolerate it. Now they're not even no fun, they're no good.
Back markers screwed up a lot of races, there was such a speed difference between them and the leaders. The back markers should just let them through, but some would get in the way for no reason.
That was a great race! 2 strokes is where it's at. These Guys could ride. Anyone could be fast when the Electronics are at the point you can just pin it and TC covers for you like on today's GP Bikes. Put it back in the Riders hands (Wrist) BraaaAAAPP!
thats not how todays bikes work at all you idiot. these old things only had the same power as modern moto2. no wonder they had no tc they barely needed it
what class this Sarron, he should have been vicious, followed the first until the end and carried out his attack in the last lap... he alone had "the" trajectory!
Mitici anni mitica pista purtroppo oggi il gatto e la volpe (Ezpeleta Ippolito) hanno rovinato tutto Marquez è il massimo che c possono fare vedere contenti loro...
Saltavo di gioia quando Marco Papa arrivò sesto in Jugoslavia 30 anni fa con una moto vecchia come il cucù vale più di tutte le vittorie di bimbominchia con la astronave Hrc
Just look at how many bikes were on the grid. Impossible in Moto GP. Those were the days... Great racing ❤👍💪
Que carreras las de antes 2 tiempos y kevin swuans pilotazo ❤❤tengo 55 años y parece ayer

I was there! A fantastic battle with 4 top riders all the race long. We miss this kind of show nowadays…
très belle course, Christian Sarron magnifique
It's nice to hear Barry Sheene talking... :)
Oh he's he, okay..
I remember watching on TV getting a buzz on and going out straight after for a fast ride on my katana..loved those days..two strokes and racing are a match made in heaven.
I just watched it again today and it's inspired me to get my Suzuki GT500 out of the shed for a quick ride into the mountains :)

Schwantz was well chuffed with his race!
Aaron Maughan Probably because his bike was really down on top Speed compared to the other bikes and he got screwed by the back markers, but couldn’t believe his luck when Gardner had engine trouble.
LA COURSE historique ! Sarron offre un spectacle magnifique et Gardner reconnaîtra malgré sa casse que ce fut LE grand Prix ... A VOIR ABSOLUMENT
I don't believe it (see what I did there). This is great, soooo good to hear Baz and Daz!
"if the guy had a duck it would drown" 😂

bring back the two strokes!
poor Gardner...he was the fastest that day

Great to see Kevin on the Pepsi-Suzuki
Great race.. shame Gardner’s bike let him down last lap. Would have been 4 wins in a row and would have closed the gap on Lawson in the championship
Honda, s used to break down frequently bwt 83-88
And after the 4 wins, he would have had a 2nd in Uk, after Rainey...so ThE gap would get even smaller...
Sarron était le plus combatif et régulier !
Des Super pilotes Respect ! Quelle course !
Back markers screwed up a lot of races, there was such a speed difference between them and the leaders. The back markers should just let them through, but some would get in the way for no reason.
Amazing race .
Does anyone have the 1989 and 1990 Australian Grand Prix races please? Great race this one.

What bike was Kevin McGee riding
Che grandi!!! Altri tempi altri piloti!!!!
what class this Sarron, he should have been vicious, followed the first until the end and carried out his attack in the last lap... he alone had "the" trajectory!
The traction controle was in the high wrist. Good times
Steady Eddie..✌😁
tough luck for gardner on the fast Honda. steady Eddie wins it again.
Gardner won ?
Honda broke down in last lap
Marvelous
80年、WGP500ccがあればアップお願いします。
amazing how the honda number 1 looks faster than the other !
In the 2 stroke times Honda engine has always been the more powerful. In 1988 the V4 honda was about 170 HP, the Yamaha 160 HP, the Suzuki 155 HP.
Brilliant!
Schwantz is the MAN!
no jump start back then,,
Plein pot 💪🤘👍😎💯
Ｃサロンが一番輝いてたシーズンだったよな❣️
この時代に何故サロンが速いのか検証考察した人は居なかった
それにしてもヤマハのストレートは遅いな〜
サロンは唯一 OUT In OUTで徹底してるな
周回遅れになるライダーを参加させるのは駄目なルールは設けるべき
88はＧＰベストレース

この年のハスラムが可哀想。前の年は４気筒のNSRからこの年はNS３気筒へダウン+フロント片持ちアームでハンドリング悪化(T_T)でもライディングフォームは変わらずカッコいい!!
elf5もNSR500のエンジンでしたよ
GP500⭕️……MotoGP❌
昔のほうが良かったなー
バイクレースで超満員
ヨーロッパのバイクレース人気に驚く
鈴鹿は空席が目立つ
F@#k i love two strokes

サロンカッコ良すぎ！good(｀･ω･)b
Fantastic race , unfair for Honda .
Unfair x Gardner
…ってか ほとんどが JUMPスタートだろう。
ここら辺の時代まではファジーなスタートが多かった。👍
Faux, DÉPART LUCKY WAYNE 🙆
