- Is it possible for a 125cc 2 Stroke to be competitive in a race against a full field of 450 4 Stroke Dirt Bikes? Let's find out!
16-year-old two stroke prodigy Wal Beaney lines up on board a super-trick race tuned Yamaha YZ125 and is ready to take on the fastest 450 class pro's in the country. Have no doubt, this is going to be a tough day in the office for this 125cc Hero, but Wal is made of tough stuff and has the heart of the lion. He might be a 2 Stroke prodigy, but today he's the ultimate underdog....and we hope you guys have some fun cheering him on!
This Hardcore Racing YZ 125 was built by Roland Shaw and is dripping with trick bits. Check out this video to see exactly what was done to the bike: • Building the World's B...

Johnny O'Mara on his Honda CR125 absolutely whooped the world's best factory 500 2-stroke riders in the 1986 Motocross des Nations. Good 125s in the hands of talented riders should always be feared.
Agreed 100%! 1986 MXdN was an inspiration behind this video for sure
And Bayle on a 125 beat or nearly beat? everyone at the des nations
Totally agree a 125 on the pipe is a serious motocross weapon
I fear someone who brings a 125 to a 250 2t/450 4t race.
The fact that this kid didn't end up dead last every race is amazing in of itself. But even with the crashes he placed well (all things considered). Take a super talented rider + a super fast two-stroke, and that = A Champion!!
agreed 100%! My favorite comment of the day so far :-) Thanks for watching dude
^This kid is going to be seen all over , we may have another "Deegan" in our sites, to rip by guys on 450's on a 125 , that kid was ripping thats how you make a 2 stroke sing , great racing kid got a great future ahead of you .
I did this at 46. It's a blast. I was always a 125 specialist. Racing against a bunch of guys on 450's is fun. You can take it into the corners soooo deep and take their lines. Passed half the pack in the first turn by not shuttin' off. I didn't win, but boy it was fun.
It does not matter what size the motor is, its the heart of a human that makes the performance...
Absolutely. One need look no further than to watch 8-time GNCC champion, Kailub Russell, destroy top pros on 450s while riding a KTM 150 2 stroke.

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂 bull shit
If that's the case then why don't 50cc mopeds destroy 1000cc bikes at the isle of man TT if you only need heart lol 😂😂😂😂😂 or even this dirt riding ......Ricky carmicheal at his best would always go quicker on a 450f than a 125 bike around the same track. Don't talk out you're arse.
This kid has the stuff legends are made of!!
Kid is amazing,show us the rest, blown away, watching this kids journey, brilliant
He's got the heart of a champion for sure. One of the most naturally gifted riders i've come across...the full races are just mesmerizing. Thanks for watching Marc :-)
This video had me on the edge of my chair, what a great race Max. Never underestimate a two stroke 👍
It was a real roller coaster day that's for sure! Thanks for watching as always buddy :-)
It’s the rider cause clearly 2 strokes are slow. Even a 250 against a 450 isn’t fair
I applaud what you're teaching us about two strokes.
I think it was the 1986 motocross of nations the "O'Show" beat all the champions 125,250,500 champions on a 125 ....with huge up hills ....it not the size of the dog in the fight...it's the fight in the dog"
This is a priceless trick of mine......should probably charge a G-note for this....at the starting line.....body right up on the gas tank, right foot on peg, left foot in front of the shifter planted on the ground...launch in second gear....and grab third gear with the back of your left heal...while adjusting your body weight for traction.... I guarantee better placement at the first corner! Great work kid!
Great video max!
1986 Nations was the inspiration for this video! lol Thanks for watching as always dude :-)
No need for in-fighting. We're here for fun and any dirtbike is fun. Had a brand new YZ250, got stolen almost immediately. I loved that bike. Got a KTM 250sx 2nd hand, loved that too. Had a YZ426F, loved that. Now I have a WR450. Guess what? I love it. It's also my daily commuter but on weekends it's my hobby. Mud slinging.
All I will say is, the feeling a 2 stroke gives me when it winds round to that power band (from 3rd gear up) and the whole bike sort of feels like it comes alive, gets sharper then the scenery starts to pass by like you're in the millennium falcon.
I know modern 4 strokes are faster, but, the 2 strokes FEEL faster.
It's a bit like a car I used to have. It was turbo charged. There was sizeable turbo lag but when the boost came on, it would absolutely take off.
Like I say, I've had other cars that were also turbocharged but the power delivery was totally different. Gradual and smooth.
BUT, I much prefer turbo lag. When it kicks in and your guts are suddenly rearranged.
2 strokes deliver that too.
Absolutely amazing efforts, young man. Would love to see him on a 250. Top 10 would be a possibility for sure.
20:50 definitely a 125 hero, this kid is born to race 🤙🏼
Thing is he needs ride at 100%+ the WHOLE race to keep up /compete. I think a YZ250/KTM 250 2-stroke would've worked alot better for him at his level. Very talented guy for sure! Hope see him racing again. -NY 🇺🇸
If you can’t ride your bike at 100 percent you don’t need a bigger bike, that was always my thing is some people are actually slower on a 250 450 bc they can’t handle the power
Young Wal is awesome to watch. What a champion rider.
No holeshot device? His front end was so high at the start. That would've helped get a better start. Wal Beaney is a beast. Twists his knee at start of race 1 and continues to battle for all 3 motos. That's Hardcore.
Young man should be proud! I remember back in 2004, James Stewart raced his kx125 against a field of 250 4 strokes and I’m pretty sure he won. A 125 2 stroke being ridden by a good rider can 100% hold its own against most bikes/riders
I always use to race my 125 in the open class. Gave me an extra ride for the day and was some of my best racing, especially on tight, technical tracks.
This race confirms what I said in a comment on one of your 500cc 2 stroke videos. "A good rider on a 125 around a track could be fast". So eat that you lounge chair haters.
I totally agree! Thanks for watching :-D
fantastic effort really good to see a lad trying so hard good luck to him the future he's got the right mind set never give in keep pushing
Awesome racing from wal and the mini zilla. 😊👍.
Thanks for watching Kevin :-D
What a bike!! I think if he didn’t full in the first race he could have finished in the top 10 what a talent he has. I want to see the full videos of the race, your videos are really making me want to get a 2-stroke again 🚀🚀💨💨
That's our real mission, to grow the 2 stroke family! ;-D Thanks for watching Dave!
@@999lazer I had a kx 125 2002 spent a load on it then got rid of it because no room for 2 bikes as I got a new 2018 crf should never of got rid of it. One of the biggest regrets I have! Live and learn 😂
@@999lazer last week you ran a new four stroke 450 gasgas against the clock ...then on the same track you ran a new two stroke 125 gasgas against the clock and it was only a second and fraction from the same times of the 450 four stroke ..the new two stroke mc125 gasgas makes 40hp ..this is the most powerful 125 two stroke or four stroke in the history of motocross racing..nobody today seems to know why two strokes are and will always be more powerful than four strokes !!! I was hired in 1975 by a honda dealership .you were required to attend the factory honda R&D training center. Our instructors name was pops yoshimura who had designed developed built and put into production the very first honda two stroke . This all new two stroke was designed by the worlds most famous and knowledgeable tuner of all motorcycles the world had ever seen..the class i was attending with yoshimura for a week of 8 hours per day was all about the honda CR250M Elsinore ..in this class you were required to all ready have a formal college associates degree of applied science concerning internal combustion engines in which i did and thought i knew it all , until i met my guru and instructor pops yoshimura ..for the rest of the week yoshimura explained to me like no college had ever done exactly what how why and when a two stroke makes power of what is referred to as "the power band" that is as simple as rocket science ! Ill try to explain ! As you know the first Elsinore was piston port induction and exhaust extraction ! There were no reed valves or exhaust power valves just a bunch of holes around three moving parts that were the piston , rod , and crank ! So why does it make so much more power than a 4 stroke ...there are many reasons but the main and important reason is the fact that two strokes of this nature are internally self supercharging bringing the crankcase pressure well above the atmospheric pressure every time the piston travels to bottom dead center ..then as the rpm's go up the piston is moving faster than the naturally aspirated air/fuel can flow through the carb, intake, and crankcase allowing the bottom side of the piston to start compressing the intake air creating boost ...in order for husqvarna to manage their transfer port EFI they had to install pressure sensors in the crankcase to accurately measure to boost and correct the air/fuel ratio to stop piston seizure at high rpms ..when a two stroke starts making boost pressure is the beginning of the power band and when "she's on the pipe" that is the moment the greatest effect is felt from the most sound wave reflect from the reverse cone of the expansion chamber and block the supercharged air/fuel from escaping the exhaust port until the piston covers the exhaust port ...drill and tap a 1/16th npt for a pressure fitting in the bottom of a two crankcases , attach a hose and pressure gage to the fitting and show all the boys and girls out there in you tube land that two strokes make boost .. four strokes can only suck bang and blow
Great vid, 2 strokes forever.
Never get tired of hearing 2 stroke motorcycles!
Great video max. Get this 2 stroke day sorted pal
He definitely gave the 450’s a run for the money! Kid is a beast! I definitely think hes a top tier contender on any bike he throws a leg over! Way to throw it down, and upset some 450 guys!
EXCEPTIONAL!!! 🎯💜🙏 THANK YOU great video... 👍
As a diehard 2 stroke guy the 125 is and will always be my thing.. I can ride it 100 percent wide open 100 percent of the time..🤙
2 stroke smoke forever
Nothing sounds as good as a 125 on the pipe
Awesome race
Mate you have completed you tube Motocross vids awesome content 👍
Respect for bike and rider. That young man is an awesome rider!!!
Wow what a great kid , that was awesome, thanks for the video
What a rider, cracking effort. 👍
You can't help but cheer for him by the end! Good to see you here Phil, thanks for watching bud!
Wal, fantastic ride buddy. People talk about having the "stuff" well you have that stuff.
Its about the rider more than it is about the bike
agreed 100%! Thanks for watching dude
Kudos to all of you. No shame in that young fella s game.
Thats no easy feat on 125.
Bad azz!
Thanks for the kind words Eric :-D
This boy is going places!
I've said it since he was 10 years old, but Wal is definitely one of the most naturally gifted riders i've ever come across. Thanks for watching Filip :-)
Sounds absolutely mint. !! Track looks sweet aswell
What a Legend.............
Wal has the heart of a champion for sure! Thanks for watching Scott :-D
Brilliant effort Wol!
Thanks for watching dude!
Solid effort !! ..
Thanks for watching dude!
... that youngster is a diamond in the rough, if all that crashing doesn't stop he might have a real chance as a very good journeyman pro,, which is nothing to scoff at!!!
Beautiful track
One of the best in our country for sure. Thanks for watching dude!
@999lazer been watching for a long time. Don't comment much on anyone's shit but you guys do very well. I realize I wasn't commenting on the greatness of your channel but on the greatness of the track. Both are admirable.
Great run hard day
Heck yes a 125 can compete with 450s. Some of these little guys on 80s would give them a good race!
Shame about the falls it would have been interesting to see where he would’ve ended up 👍🏻
Most likely he would have ended up way out in front lapping the 450's
Amazing job Wal 👍
Thanks for watching dude!
Not bad at all!!!! Nice one 👍👍
Thanks for watching Ben! :-D
That was the absolute bollocks loved it 2 stroke all the way I’ll get Roland to look at my k8 rm 👍👍👍👀
Incredible
Brilliant channel
Thanks
Hero with best sounding bike on track. Will always be shaking my head when I think of the powers that be destroying 2 Stroke racing.
cool as F video Max. Wal defo got heart and talent was super fun to watch this battle between a field of 450s . A 125 is probably the most fun you can have on a dirt bike. Its always gonna be a top notch video when the 999 lazer crew turn up with the cameras and a 2stroke
You can't help but cheer for him after a performance like that. Thanks for the support as always dude :-D
This kid on a 250 2stroke is going to be insane!!!
Truth. Won't BEAT modern 450cc four strokes in tech/ power /speed etc tho absolutely can do damage! -NY 🇺🇸
@@Davido50 The450’s are nearly twice the displacement. The ongoing comparisons of engines nearly twice the size, always has been and will always be a joke.
@@SPCRacing1 4-strokes have it coming themselves. silent electric bikes with no gears gonna retire everyone. they're very close to solving the battery charge issue on the Varg for 40+2. 😄 imma 2-stroke man myself. 90's boy.
@@SPCRacing1half the CC's, double the power strokes. It's more comparable than the CC makes you think. 450 will displace 450cc of air ever 4 strokes. 250 2 Stroke will displace 250 every 2 strokes. So 500cc every 4 strokes on the 2 stroke.
Volumetric efficiency is a thing. That's like saying a supercharged engine isn't an advantage because the displacement is the same @@yohanathandowns9057
good show lads, that track was brutal
Thanks for the support as always rumpel! The Track was super gnarly by the third moto, so hard going on the little 125!
@@999lazer it looked like it had more to give than most of the 450,s on the line
great footage thanks and great riding by the prodigy it,s very rare that i watch any motocross videos to the end on u tube but this one i loved we need to see more of the prodigy in some of the remaining eastern centre events on the same bike to see if he can crack that top fifteen.
Thanks For watching Dave, Appreciate your comment and we'll see what we can do
This kid has massive heart I love these videos max 2 thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻
He's a fighter for sure! Thanks for watching Luke :-D
Good lad!!!
You can't help but cheer for the kid! Thanks for watching as always mate :-D
Dreams do come true Rock
2- strokers..❤🎯🙏🇺🇲
Thanks for watching James
Now stick him on the Y-zila 500 against the 450's for comparison.
Awesome!!!!
Wal Beaney the Houdini😀
All of the honey bees follow this bike, the sound summons them
That number 5 had a decent run into and out of that first turn. Even without the holeshot
Amazing how mutch easy it gets full momentum thrue the corners.
The four-stroke has to mutch movig mass i the engine the create gyro force i belive.
Great rider because he smoked them even on the straits.
Go the smoker, well done.. 👍👍👍
Used to race my rm125 , totally different power no surprise to me
Fantastic video Max, wal was a real trouper battling away, Roland has really worked his magic on the yzilla engine, the whole team should be proud of their achievement against a field of 450s, again great video, go team Max.
Thanks Kevin, always appreciate your comment mate.
awesome!
Thanks for watching Steve :-D
Awesome riding best racing I’ve watch on you tube this year off to make a few new accounts 🎉
Took some hard knocks for a 16year old and was a tall order against the torque of those 450s. Well done👍
Showing the heart of a champ for sure. Thanks for watching dude
This channel is really un matched in so many ways
The 4 stroke too much and good race 2 stroke mister thank you soo much
Very cool
I once raced in a GP series +40 Vet on a 15 year old 125. Pass and be passed and pass again. Both fun and frustrating.
Holy cow, give him a 250 now!
Thanks for watching. Cheers Max
Of course they can with skill and Motorcross like course. Try D37 desert 100 mile hare and hound.
Definition of Ball-Z:
Lining up with a 125 knowing there is no way in hell you get a good start and will be chewing on 450 roost the whole bloody race!
madlad
Thanks for watching!
I've always said a proper 125 or 250 stroker could put the beans to bigger bikes in track races, only time a bigger bike is god is open scrambles where they can stretch the power out.
Wal keep it on its wheels bro 😂
Yes we got what we wanted you and the team do so.w bloody good content been subbed for a few years now, from New Zealand cheers Max.
It's always crazy to hear where the vids are watched from! I'm so glad you're enjoying the content, we've got plenty more to come :-D
Looks like a great team .
A few offs but if you don’t take chances you don’t progress.
He left it all out there on the track to be fair, Wal has the heart of a champion for sure. Thanks for watching buddy
I think you guys should take a ktm 125 with tbi and give it the 999 Lazer treatment. Then you could have this and kong
This kid is good
What did he do that was so amazing. Someone enlighten me because 20th place doesn’t do anything for me or him. I didn’t see anything that fit the narrator’s overblown description.
That 2 stroke was gapin 😂 that kid is good should have put in on a KX
No slacking.....ARRRRRRR RRRRRR RRRRRRRR SHIFT SHIFT
En 125 des nations un pilote du mondial avait reporté devant les 500 ya longtemps mais il a remporté a chercher l'année mais celà c'était produit une 125 usine en plus une arme 👌👍💪
The guy at 9:15 was lucky to keep it straight 😅 and for most poeple a 450 is to much …. On a 125 you can charge harder , much more forgiving
Kid's got great talent and is going to finish on top of the podium in the near future....but hopefully with the videos of his achievements having much less overkill narration because constant chatter that including obvious visual basics like "the gate dropped" & "he clicked it into gear" was for me kind of a distracting annoyance that resulted in turning the volume way down so I could focus on the kid's ridding w/out the interference. In the future editing in post race narration by the kid himself would be much more pleasant to listen to as well as perspectively truly accurate and interesting. Just a thought...lol😎
That's pure skill when a rider on a 125 can pass 450's because the 450's are way faster then a 125 unless the rider is better. Now on a straight open trail like desert racing then I don't think he can hang with 450's
If Roland did the bike it will be stupidly quick.
Haven't seen anything like this since Jeremy McGrath
Top rip,my man did outstanding,great riding,he would of killed it on 250.talented kid for sure 😎
Thanks for watching Lee
Wat place did he get in 3rd race
19th in the third race. Thanks for watching Paul :-D
@@999lazer thks
Wow!!!
I have cr 500 through 82 to 96 they get goosed by the new 125s lol , but I still love my rusty nails
Worst of all it's MY KIDS on the 125s 😆😭😭
Get my own back on the dad's Tomorrow they all drink and I don't lol eat dirt we have those tank fillers 👍
I'd give up everything to be 16 again.
Great talent and great bike. Must have left some redfaced racers behind having 3.6 time the deplacement. 250 would have been another matter since their track time is about the same versus 450
good balance, but he needs more mo going into the outside lines. Like ET.
