Mick Doohan & the Honda NSR500. Easily the most well - matched bike & rider combo in Grand Prix Motorcycling history. Doohan was an absolute cannibal of a rider. Superb, accurate & utterly relentless. Thoroughly deserved everything he won. In an era of great riders and brutal machines, he was the most brutal machine out there. 'Onya Mick. 🤘😎🤘
The greatest era of bike racing. I consider myself fortunate to have seen them race a few times at Laguna Seca, and watched much of the rest of the races on TV starting in 89 going through the early/mid 90s.
You are right as these guys were men and racers . My hero was Freddie Spencer and I have met him , but if not for Gardner & Doohan we would have been ignored on the world stage . It will never be that good again thats right and that snotty Rossi with remarks about Stoner made it into a school yard spat sport.
Well, I agree that it was a great time with those US and Australian riders, but now the level is higher! Look what Marquez does.... those saves, spectacular each race!! For me this is the golden age of racing as I consider MM93 the GOAT!!
nsr's back then were making over 180 hp and lighter than nowadays gp bikes imagine what they would be today had they not pulled the 2 strokes out of the race.
I have nothing but respect for Mick, he went through some serious pain and suffering for the sport. But it was all a bit tedious towards the end of his career - he just won every weekend, the girds became depleted and the 500s were done.
He was so talented that he made the rest of the field look like amateurs. The only problem I had was as a spectator that the races were pretty boring as Mick was so far ahead .
Well this is just what happens when a legend puts on the leathers and steps over one of these monsters. Me personally I enjoy watching this man's legendary stint in the world championship, there's no one like him
5 Years on the best machine on the Grid , and with zero intentions to leave and win on another ...just like current Doran Repsol Honda chosen one .... the smiling pest troll
No, he did not win a tital until all three had finished. WG injured retired 92, Schwantz was never the same after Rainey`s crash retired 94, and Wayne Rainey ended up in a wheelchair mid way through 93. Sorry to break hearts, but mick was only a B grader, the real brains of the outfit was a bloke called Jerry Burgess........
iLike Vagina sorry dude, but he was only ever a b grader, and a very lucky one at that. People don't like to hear that but it is the truth. Had beattie stayed with Honda he would have won just as much as mick if not more, but he did not want to rock the boat so he took the offer with Robert's. Mick was a very vey lucky boy from the gold coast all the cards fell his way. Read who Jerry Burgess rates as the best, it's not mick!
You're kidding, right? I'm guessing you never actually saw Mick race. I was at Winton in Victoria the first time he rode the MYDT superbike. He came second to Dowson (who had been riding the Yamaha for several years) in the first race & won the 2nd. I was also at Oran park for the Australian round of the 1988 World Superbikes & Mick destroyed the field to win both races convincingly. He also won the 2nd race at the Sugo round that year by more than 20 seconds. In 1992 he was winning the 500 GP championship by a huge margin when he broke his leg at Assen & despite missing 4 rounds & barely being able to walk (let alone wrestle a 500cc GP bike around a track) for the last 2 rounds, still only lost the championship to Rainey by 4 points. By your calculations, if Mick was a B grader then so was Rainey, Schwantz, Gardner, Lawson, Biaggi, etc... - all of whom won championship titles.
Dude watched his leg turn BLACK bruh, right in front of his face, in 92.Had to endure those dead skin wipe downs. He wuz wuppin dat ass so HAARRDD that when he returned only lost to Rainey by four points. 93 Would have been totally different. Could have EASILY been seven in a row. NO PAIN KILLERS YO!!! ABSOLUTE BEAST!!!!
FISHURMOMBALL Doohan was a really great rider, he really dominated. What's not covered here is that he would have won championships earlier had he not almost killed himself at Assen. He missed the entire following season, to come back and win 5 straight on a bike with no rear brake pedal, he had to use a thumb lever on the left near the clutch lever. Doohan has a higher winning and podium percentage than Rossi, but it's impossible to compare different eras and technologies. In his time Doohan was easily the best, as was Rossi early on until guys like Stoner could get under Rossi's skin
Well said Ronan. I watched Mick right from the start of his career. He not only dominated but he did so in an era when 500 GP bikes were at their most difficult to ride. He flourished under these conditions and used the psychological advantage of his skill to destroy his rivals like never seen before. He actually chose to use the screamer engine knowing it was harder to ride. When he won on it he knew his opposition would think that was the reason he was winning. Mick knew when his rivals demanded the same equipment it would give him an even greater advantage. The greatest rider from the greatest era of GP racing.
My favorite rider since I started watching regularly in '89. Unique style, balls of steel. To me, better than Rossi for sure (though different eras). Better than Ago. Up there with Hailwood for sure.
This reminds me of the good old days-- when men went off to war and men rode and drove machines and were in rodeos. Now they send boys off to war and put little boys on motorcycles. Oh well I was never good enough nor did my sorry ass parents do anything to promote my skills.
They've always sent boys off to war, also quit making excuses. I'm getting into the sport at 32. Quit being a fucking pussy and go do it. PS I'm a transgirl that makes porn for a living. But you gotta man the fuck up.
They don’t come sharper or tougher than Mick Doohan, if he’d been racing during the last 10-15 years he would have found Rossi’s mind games hilarious & his racing a match for the brilliant Marc Marquez.
A man among men, a legend among champions. One of my greatest heroes.
Good on ya, mate.
Totally. Met him briefly at a Honda Dealer Crows Nest Sydney signing autographs. What an era and what a cracking looking bike
500 cc 2strokes those things ate the riders alive & spat out the bones. Anyone who rode one of these had BALLS of STEEL.👍
AS stated by Gardner at Phillip Island.
Kevin Schwantz "On good days really, really enjoyable to ride, but on bad days almost certain death on every corner"
@@angrylama9429like a fist fight in a closet lol
one of my sporting heroes, what an absolute legend this man is!! 🇦🇺
Without a Doubt the KING of the 500 2 stroke Racing.
caRn roger that .
Mick Doohan was a crazy SOB. he had to be. if you missed those years, you missed some great riding with very little fear it seems.
Was born '97 and I surely I witnessed those, thankfully there are some videos to watch but I really wish to have witnessed his greatness live
Wow, one of the greatest riders in history. I can only imagine what if he had no serious injuries.
He was such a great rider. Brilliant to watch.
The goat , loved his riding style he was so good to watch !
Love him so much and got 2 of the Arai replica Helmets..
Me too!!!
I have one and am getting another . The replica boots have just been released .

Wow. That was one fast voiceover.
Too fast!
Just like Doohan
Just couldn't keep up with doohan
Mic doohan
..Alex criville and Lorenzo.. my favourites till my death...
He was a monster, a true legend, without his injury, maybe it will have meny more titles.
It was a very exciting time in two wheel racing, I enjoyed every one of them....
i miss the sound of 2 stroke and the wildest engine... :'(
Me too!

He's the reason i started to follow World GP then now Moto GP
king of that late 90s and there was no stiffer competition raney swantz sheen crafer.what times.😭 itll never be that good again.
Lil James James
About time someone remembers real GP racing 500cc 2 stroke Era !
John Bunkoski when privater can get up to 5th classment, like Franco Uncini with RG 500
You are right as these guys were men and racers . My hero was Freddie Spencer and I have met him , but if not for Gardner & Doohan we would have been ignored on the world stage .

jofenbat mm couldnt cope with a 500.
I Saw doohan Racing, It was a shock seeing a disabled man best everyone for so long. Great Racer.
the king of motogp in the 90s
Miss this era,real racing,real action less drama
Those were the days.
Legend!
this was the ragged edge of the machines capabilities unbelievable to watch even today
What a legend!
Was lucky to watch him. Spectacular rider.
You need to do more of a documentary than this for doohan.
Screamer 500cc 2stroke = weapon of mass destruction
Only one guy today rode both Rossi and I doubt many could handle those wild beasts today.
I cant imagine if cc upgrade to 1000cc
An excellent rider and a wonderful person! I miss you Mick...
new generation not know about mick doohan..
nsr's back then were making over 180 hp and lighter than nowadays gp bikes imagine what they would be today had they not pulled the 2 strokes out of the race.
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES AND TOP5 GUYS
Grande doohan tengo tu gorra y casco siempre seras mi piloto favorito el numero 1
That 1994 livery must be the most beautiful thing ever.
Long live the legend #1 mick doohan
ONE OF MY IDOLS
I have nothing but respect for Mick, he went through some serious pain and suffering for the sport. But it was all a bit tedious towards the end of his career - he just won every weekend, the girds became depleted and the 500s were done.
What a great years...
His brother is my grand sons sport teacher
Incredible career and he beat a number of good riders!
One word legend
Mighty Mick
The living legend..
The dominator man
always my favourite rider
Bloody champion
Two stroke wizard 🏁
True King.
My favourite motorbike racer.
The king !!
Die or win = legend
Great memories. What a gangster on the road
Legend
my favorite
He was so talented that he made the rest of the field look like amateurs. The only problem I had was as a spectator that the races were pretty boring as Mick was so far ahead .
Well this is just what happens when a legend puts on the leathers and steps over one of these monsters. Me personally I enjoy watching this man's legendary stint in the world championship, there's no one like him
He didn't make Wayne Rainey look amateur. And he had the best bike by far, he's a total legend no doubt.
Good old days!!
Gardner and doohan rocked
Repsol Honda always have a great racer
5 Years on the best machine on the Grid , and with zero intentions to leave and win on another ...just like current Doran Repsol Honda chosen one .... the smiling pest troll
I always remember watching these thinking: ‘Can’t Michelin get better hats than those most appropriately work at Iron Skillet truck stop restaurants?’
DOMINATION 💪🏾
What a champion
I wonder how he would go today with stronger competition. His reign was in the middle of 2 great eras in gp racing.
soundzRinmygarden he d won against all greats. rainey, schwantz, gardner
No, he did not win a tital until all three had finished. WG injured retired 92, Schwantz was never the same after Rainey`s crash retired 94, and Wayne Rainey ended up in a wheelchair mid way through 93. Sorry to break hearts, but mick was only a B grader, the real brains of the outfit was a bloke called Jerry Burgess........
paul harris Mick still would've won at lest one or two titles he came close plenty of times but that accident in 92 really did a number on him
iLike Vagina sorry dude, but he was only ever a b grader, and a very lucky one at that. People don't like to hear that but it is the truth.

Epic rider!!!
My hero
The great one.

Mike the Bike, i adorre you !
Be the best
the 2T years were epic. now with the diesels its like watching teenagers playing on PS4
If doohan didn’t crash that cause him fatal injured and retire..rossi’s glory year will be postponed for several years
The Corsentior he didn't die from 1999 Jerez crash
Yeah fatal means he died
🤣 Love comedy
Lukman Firdaus he said fatal injuries
The Corsentior agree
Look son is a legend..
The legend
สุดท้ายเด็กใหม่จะบอกนายเอง ว่าจะเลิกแข่งได้เมื่อไหร่

93 Would have been totally different.

ローソン レイニー シュワンツ ガードナー が居なくなってからのチャンピオン この４人はライバル居てのチャンピオン
2stroke always legend
Back to the day when all the riders were flying into the corner, smooth as butter
What about the corner holding the bike with a knee
Love repsol.honda racing
My favorite rider since I started watching regularly in '89. Unique style, balls of steel. To me, better than Rossi for sure (though different eras). Better than Ago. Up there with Hailwood for sure.
Best motorcyclist ever

Trikki Nikki so you’re a man?
@@mbal4052 more of one than you'll ever be.
he look like hugh jackman
When men where men and bikes needed big balls to ride them not windows 10.
if he not crash in his last race. maybe he will get more champions
1:05 1:09 1:39 1:53 1:58 2:11 2:16 2:20 2:44 2:48 2:54
Such a massive accomplishment. The thing that saddens me is in 1000 years no one will remember or care.

Same
They don’t come sharper or tougher than Mick Doohan, if he’d been racing during the last 10-15 years he would have found Rossi’s mind games hilarious & his racing a match for the brilliant Marc Marquez.
Funny enough is that Doohan likes and supports Rossi and specially after Rossi departed from Honda.
Hugging the corners✌🧢
