  • Can a 31-Year-Old 125cc 2 Stroke be competitive vs a field of Modern 4 Stroke MX bikes? Let's find out!
    Every one loves an underdog story and our friend Sean Smith will certainly be an underdog as he takes to the line on board his newly renovated 1991 Suzuki RM125, lets see if Sean and his vintage two stroke can do the business. Enjoy guys!
    A big thanks to PJMC for a great event.

    I sold my last mx bike in 2004, every time I watch this channel I end up on Ebay afterwards...

    So many people around the world overestimates the importance of the bike and underestimates the impact the rider haves. Great fun video!

      you are spot on correct. Probably less than 1% of riders/racers are capable of riding motocross bikes to their fullest potential even bikes 40 years old

    he did really well on a tough track, it looked horrible to ride, it just shows there ain't much difference between new and old, plus he can ride well, love the vid max.

      Thanks for watching David and taking the time to comment :-) There was a big storm the day before which make the track very deep and tricky, we were lucky to go racing really it was almost underwater just a few hours before this!
      You're right though, in the right hands there's truly not much difference between old and new

    I grew up on 2 strokes, in late 70's had an XR 75 4 stroke Honda. That was the last 4 stroke I've ridden. To be honest I cannot get myself to ride anything but 2 strokes it's in my blood!! Saving up now for a YZ 250 2 stroke one of the only companies making them
