I love my GP2, the best race bike ive ridden yet. The only thingg is the gear box on my 2022 is trash. Thats the only thing i would really change. I race the shit out of mine, have crashed it once and it didn't even phase the bike. The RC8C is a Kramer with different fairings.
I love my 22 GP2 but the engine upgrades would be nice. I have been racing with the 600s and it does well on tracks no long straights cause the bike will not do more than 147 mph no matter what I do to gearing. It was very surprising how little setup I had to do, just springs really. Stock gearbox is absolutely trash though, you had to jump on the shifter to make sure it's in gear 100% or it will pop out. Love it and the upgrades to the newer models though it absolutely does not need traction control.
No spark plug at 24´ 🧐😂. Great bike!!
Bloody hell! Eagle eye cherry. We hadn’t noticed it and we would of gotten away with that if it hadn’t been for your detective skills!! 😂👍
It’s a MT5, literally “who needs brakes!”. God these were awful!
Which will become apparent when it takes on the AF1 50 😂
815….. Was that before the 619? 😅 I guessed an MBX80 but think that was released early/mid 80’s?
@@kevinparry8190 decent guess to be fair buddy 👍👍
Hola mi tío corría en moto con una Ossa Yankee modificada.Yo se la quitaba y era mi moto con 14 años claro está de dos tiempos y Dos mikunis dobles sin ABS ni control de tracción
Mucho divertido no! 👍
Sin ABS ni control de tracción Dos tiempos ❤
Without ABS and no traction control means much work? Learning Spanish but not so good yet. 👍
Wow this is an awesome channel, love this bike, thanks for showing us around
Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it. Welcome 🙏
My money would be on the bargain TZ 250, it would make a beautiful and interesting static display in some lads sitting room. I have a race programme from 1979 British Grand Prix Roberts v Sheene, what would that be worth do you think, tenner?
It would look amazing restored! Best not to ask us anything on values pal! 😂
I'm lucky to own a 95 road going one and it's an addictive sound. The 4 stroke guys I ride with don't understand it.
Nice! The ‘95 is a great looking bike. What colour is yours? Four strokes are just big diesels anyway 👍
Aaaw bless they look like a Poundland Clarkson, Hammond and May! 1:54
We are taking this as a compliment as Poundland is a very successful business. Although we wouldn’t shop there…you can tell us what it’s like though.
it doesn't have a front speed sensor? I'm pretty sure it does - for the TC (at 3:21 I see a wire going down to where the speed sensor would be)...if it doesn't, how does the TC work?
Just about the best sound in motorcycling.. gear drive loveliness and the lazy warble of the V4. Perfection. 👍
Great site guys! I was a teenager in the 1980's (in particular 82-86) and really followed the golden era of the big 2 strokes. I'd love to buy one of those TZ 250s to use as a museum piece at my house. Nice to see a site dedicated to the restorations, values and auctions of these wonderful machines.
Really appreciate the comment chief! We love that era too, especially the two strokes..except for Keith, Keith likes the big old diesels 👍
2:50 Even as amateurs, we could pit in, change wheels and add 24 litres of fuel, and pit exit in 60 seconds at Donnington when endurance racing the RC30!
Was that spinning up or a slipping clutch.
Yeah, a bit of clutch slip! Both riders said it would happen a bit within the first few laps, but then be fine as the session went on.
very cool seeing these bikes being raced on track. Please do more of these types of videos!!
It is mega too see them getting ridden hard 👌👍
My favourite videos of yours have been the Team Bike ones. They were great days as a young lad, riding to Paul Ricard with some great mates for the Bol 👍
Ian has some great stories to tell. What bikes were you riding to the Bol?
@raceandretro First 2 year's were on GPz1100B2's, then a Ducati 500 Pantah for a couple of years, then a Ducati 750 F1, with a sore arse! I have an RC30 replica that would look great in Team Bike colours!
Sorry to be a doubter, but those riders leathers say it all, the only other leathers ive ever seen like that was back in the 70's at cadwell pk, when i raced my yr5 350 yamaha proddy bike and later td2/td3/tz 250 yamaha's,. In those days ron haslam and his brothers phill and terry raced for mal carter and they were at some of the meetings i was entered into, ron and phills leathers told a story of how many crashes they had in previous races, scary stuff especially when you lined up on the grid with them, phill mellor was another warrior, i always remember mick patrick, he was mr immaculate, leathers bike the lot, i just hope team bike have loads of spares and dont end up with a 2 piece rc30 like the one pictured, endurance racing is a hard old game thats for sure,cheers R&R.
Yep, leathers tell a story, so does Casey’s trophy cabinet!
Only one crash in this suit 😅
I’ve got a decent one myself, only club/national meetings and iom Manx gp,. Leathers wise only been down the road a couple of times in my present suit, and 5 times in my old non body guarded/back protected original 70’s Lewis leathers,.
Hey Mike, Hope all is well, sir? I imagine they'll be keeping their best suits until race day! Casey is surely bound for motogp/wsbk at some in his career, and Dan is a handy endurance (and sprint) racer at national level. I think they'll come away with the win 🏆 Although, we know anything can happen in endurance racing! (Ant)
Marvelous. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙏👍
Need to see some Slabsides
Had the earlier version in 87. Malossi big bore, bigger carb , polini exhaust. Rode it two up to Devon. Loved it😎 more vids please
Thanks very much for commenting and a great story! Plan is for a big bite kit on this one. We have some big plans for the little Aprilia so lots of future content.
The only difficulty with this bike? Carburetors. The next version RC45 has fuel injection…
you lot dont know nothing about bikes give up trying
The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing. Socrates. We appreciate that you took you very valuable time to nearly type a coherent sentence.
Best Honda I've seen is Freddie Spencer bike,owned by John Chapman
That must of been a stunner!
@@raceandretro I'm hoping I get to see his new Honda 6 this year,you should ask him for an interview 😊
Nice vibe gents and admirably restrained too. If you're not on 10k+ subscribers by the end of the year then I'm a Dutchman.
Cheers buddy, that would be mega 🙏👍 Now, are you a Dutchman?
@@raceandretro 😄
Just keep the bikes and ride them, pointless looking after these things for decades just to be screwed at auction.
There looks to be a small window of value for mist bikes so yeah, just ride them 👍
Beautiful GSXR & gorgeous Ducati 851 that went for only for £6100.. and yet that Whitlock multi cylinder monstrosity goes for £80k! The world has gone mad…..🙄 I’d have bought both the 851 & Gixxer
Absolutely gone mad! We would have bought the RS500, 851 and GSXR and still Gad 6k change. Cheers for the comments 🙏👍
We had a wander around the auction on Saturday. A nice CBX1000 caught my eye. That went for a fair bit below the guide. That multi cylinder Whitelock was just ridiculous. Amazed that someone paid that much.
We know we are terrible at guessing prices but surely no one saw that price coming for the Whitelock!! Bonkers.
My favourite GSXR was the GSXR 1100, I'm not sure if it was the L or M model in Black with Silver or Grey stripes and badging etc on it! Back in the early nineties, I was riding my Black 1988 1200 Sportster which I bought brand new in May 1988, And that Black and Silver GSXR 1100 always reminded me of a balls out sporty version of Toecutters Bike from Mad Max 1, Freaking Wicked as Hell!! 👍🤘😎
Definitely a lot of love for the L and M models! Thanks for a great comment 🙏👍
Forfeit… Go to your local bike meet dress as a pantomime dame.
i already saw that ina r. crumb comic
Members of RR cannot suggest forfeits!
Forfeit... for next video to wear makeup.... done by a child!!!!!
@@nell9750 this could be a winner! We have a very willing child with little to no experience of applying make up ready to go.
And wear a pink polka dot dress before going to the local bike meet 👌🏼
How did Bonhams get jimmy carr to do the auctioneering?
😂😂👍
Was Jimmy Carr the wooden mallet?
Prices are sliding down as just had a 3xv 91 on fleabay and not a sniff @ 7 grand. So back in the garage.
No interest at all even at 7k! Best to hold onto it. Seems to be money about for the really expensive stuff?
Forfeit open brecon motorcycle show in 2025, why would you want race Suzuki copy of the mighty MZ
Wow that was exciting 😮not
Cheerio then Willy wonga 👋
The slabsides are shite compared to the sling shots the m model i sent you was the best out of all of them
The slabblies definitely have a classic endurance look about them though.
forfeit........yard of ale!
A yard is a long way! It’s in the hat 👍 cheers for the suggestion
You don’t know who Anthony Gobert was? Do a little homework before saying no one knew who he was. His nickname was the GoShow for good reason. Sadly, he passed recently.
A little bit tongue and cheek to be honest and always been terrible at homework. The dog ate it etc etc. Very sad to hear of his passing though.
None of you know anything about bikes, it's a bit embarrassing to be honest 😅 Can't even pronounce Kawasaki, Bimota or Ducati right 😄😬
😂😂😂 what a complete bell end you must be. An assumption that your sister and mother are the same person?
Morning guys Enjoying these ones, glad you spotted a 3MA. Any updates on your one? Unless I'm missing something I've only seen the one where you take the fairings off
Hiya and thanks for the comment 🙏👍 Our 3ma is currently under a sheet (still with it fairings off) as we slowly finish the NC30. We are super slow 😂 and Keith keeps buying other project bikes! Like we haven’t got enough already 🤦🏼♂️ We will get around to it though and hope you stick around.
@@raceandretro Spot on, keep up the good work. I've been enjoying the NC30 build and looking forward to the TZR build
Best GSXR 750?? The F of course.... 1985
The more I see the ‘85 the nicer it becomes. The other two have no taste and prefer the later models!
Alan millyard could do with that monstrocity for spares.
Great video keep it up
Cheers man! The 2024 results show up this week 👍

dont get too excited. The EU want to bring in a rolling ban on motorcycles over 50 years old. Little Britain will be led by the nose - regardless whether the Coercative Party or the Starmacist Party are in power
Got the Whitelock wrong than!
😂😂 only by a little bit 👍
My favourite was the VF750F parked next to the CB1100.
unfortunately, honda placed 5 obtrusive warning labels under clear coat on top of the petrol tank, and i believe the only way to delete them is to sand them off and repaint the tank ??
I'd buy rg 500s all day at anything below £10,000....
We were a million miles off! 🤦🏼♂️
@raceandretro your only human after all...😂
I have a few 90’s bikes, and interest is definitely on the increase, for the reasons you gave.. That GSXR is lovely, but it has to be blue/white for a Suzuki.. I have the 750 SRAD, but I would like an earlier GSXR.. My fave bike in the garage is my 1990 Kawasaki ZXR750 H2 in the obligatory green/white/blue 😉 Prices are certainly firming up a little.. It still makes me scratch my head that the magazine ‘Practical Sportsbikes’ magazine was cancelled.. & yet ‘Classic Bikes’ magazine is still going?? Surely 80s/90s & early 00s bikes are approaching their purple patch for those of us in our late 40s/50s? 💁🏻♂️ Anyway, interesting video featuring some lovely bikes.. I’d love that 851 😍 I had a 916 many years ago, but I do prefer the 851/888 shape Ducatis Subbed 👍🏼
Thanks so much for the comments. The blue and white are classic but something about the red and black in that earlier shape is just spot on. The H2 is a minter….and definitely the right colour! The 400 H was a great little bike but only Japanese import if remembered correctly. A real shame about Practical Sports Bike, maybe a rebrand would have seen it continue. There is definitely interest in those bikes now as nostalgia bites. The 851/888 are just as nice as the 916 in our opinion. Possibly unrated due to the success of the 916? We really appreciate the sub and thanks again. 🙏👍👍
got the rg bang on 16 k got the rd lc right aswell
I will ask for tips on the next one. Don’t tell the other two though. Dom. 👍👍
