This is a 2024 Fantic XX125 is only available to buy in Europe, but our friend Pasha Afshar was able to get two of these exotic two-strokes to California for us to test. We tested the stock 2024 model recently and in this video, we talk about the full-race Pasha XX125 with a Chris Heinrich-built engine, Coppersmith hybrid spring/air forks, Apex head, FMF pipe and silencer, Dubya wheels, Fasst Company Flexx handlebars and more. Of course, we took Pasha's XX125 out to Glen Helen Raceway to shake it down.

Thank u pasha for keeping 2 strokes alive. Absolutely no reason for them to disappear. They are fun. They can also be competitive if AMA rules changes to make them competitive against 4 strokes. Putting 125s against 250s and 250s against 450s was of course going to make them obsolete. Change the rules and make and get people back on 2 strokes! And don’t let that 2 stroke class disappear either. Thanks for bringing an exotic bike over for testing. So cool!
What’s funny is a 125/150 2 stroke makes the same power as a 250 4 stroke. It’ll blow your mind that a 250 2 stroke makes the same power as a 450
@@xd_gangster693they’re comparable in power but the 4 stroke is definitely faster by a long shot that’s why most the pro guys ride them
@@xd_gangster693 A two stroke makes more power per cubic. But no a 250 two stroke do not make as much power as a 450.
Stock KTM sx 250 two stroke is aprox 49-50, two and the KTM sxf 450 is around 54-55. Two independet magazines have dyno´d them on different dynos.
A firebreather 250 two stroke makes 54-55 and that is highly tuned.
Agreed I love the two stroke sting 😊
It just like they say… THERE’S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT. Simply doubling the combustion strokes does not mean you get as much power as 4 stroke engine with double the displacement. That was the reasoning when they created the AMA rules for 125/250 & 250/450 classes. Riders noticed right away that it wasn’t fair so they had to switch to 4 strokes to stay competitive. That caused the decline of 2 strokes.
There’s gotta be a better way to modify AMA rules that would give 2 strokes would a level playing field.
Pasha….the man the myth the legend 🤘
What a gorgeous bike. Work of Art
Thank you so much pasha, you had a legendary performance in Bennett’s War as Tony Pantera.
Thanks for thinking so, my bro and I produced it and shot it Glen Helen my home track…check out a movie called DIRT with Kevin Dillon..I’m a bad guy in that film also. ITS AN OFF-ROAD PRO 4 Lucas oils race movie.
Holy crap I want one of these so bad!
Pasha made the built bike look so sick! MURICA!!!
Now that's a sick looking 1-2-5!!! 🔥🔥
Pasha is the real deal. He rips on a 125 and races them every weekend. Also one of the biggest promoters of 2 stroke racing.
Let’s not forget ASV levers. The best in the biz.
The Red Rims 🔥 ah good Choice looks so dope!!
Pasha the Persian Moto Prince.
Dayum i got a full race fantic 125 aswell :D
Bike looks absolutely sick ! Wow.
Maddi Fantic Factory team has been in the GPs for years in the EMX125 series, EMX250 series, MX2 series and this year they are doing quite well in MXGP. What’s with the “World” 2 stroke Championship, isn’t that the same as the EMX125 & EMX250 Championship but without any of current riders in those series attending, probably more accurate to call it the USA 2 stroke Championship 🇺🇸😎😂 The first Fantics ridden in the USA were at the MXoN at RedBud, Osterhagen and Toendel both on Team Norway rode their Factory Fantics in the MXGP and Open class
I have never rode a bike thats been modified. I can only imagine how fun it must be. Stay safe out there, bro, and I enjoy all your content because you are a very intelligent when it comes to motocross and Supercross. I hope your brother‘s career turns around soon because I feel bad for him getting all these injuries and being a great team. he’s got the skill and talent.💯✌️🤙🇺🇸🙏👊✊
My brother had a 77 XR75 that was a factory Honda team bike. It was faster and quicker than any showroom XR. The local dealer installed timing chain. The bike came back stock.
Wow Beautiful Bike!! great job Hollywood-Pasha that thing is Bloody Gorgeous!! " man cave" addition 💪👍
Thanks man…the second set of graphics I just put on it is even better…
Pasha i hope u see and read this. But I noticed u have flex bars on the bike. Get itself a set of twisted enginering carbon composite flex bars. I have lvl 3 flex now and would go lvl 4 on next set if I ever need another set but I am sure u will thank me later for this if u get them. By far best bars on the market
Why can't America build a dirt bike
Harley Davidson built one way back when......it wasn't good.
I think that is the coolest looking bike I've ever seen!! Thanks Pasha😮
My first mx bike was in the 80's the Fantic caballero 50 Competition .....wow 👍🤙🤙
250 2strokes should race 250f fourstroke I bet they wouldn't be obsolete if you raced the bore equally
Your theory involves making the 125 obsolete.. Don't tell me there guna make em race the ttr/crf125s😂. I love smokers but they're never guna be pro level compatible. Amateur racing lets 250 4's & 2's race in the same class
Better off keeping the KYB forks. Watching them ride you can tell they aint working very well
😂😂😂 No, you can't.
I thought the same 😂
"Searching for more comfort" from the air forks the testers said. Typical air fork you fight them all day. I ended up with either KYB spring or Dal Saggio spring inserts in my KTM's with the nod going to the Dal Soggios,
Wow, that bike is sick!
With all the crazy stuff going on i wouldn't want Hollywood as my nickname 😮
Looks like a great bike
Probably knew someone in the military who was stationed in Italy and was shipping back to the States.
When i was shipped to/from The Netherlands my bikes were crated and shipped with my household goods not like my cars and didnt need any paperwork like my cars did.
The only thing customs wanted to know was it clean and didn't have any dirt on it......the same as any yard tools and such.
Well, if they ship illegals all around the US for free and they use that same card to go pimp out the illegal women why can’t the servicemen pimp themselves out with some bikes?
Nope no military just took a wild chance and made it through in many small pieces.
@@1X84305 Wow! I love it....great story!
Wow! Nice. Curious, of all bikes Josh has ridden at GH, which is he consistently fastest on?
fantic was at redbud for des nations last time it was here.
Is that the Bennet's war dude?
Yup
Yes it is!
Probably alot heavier with all that bolted on carbon tho 😳🤣
You can't buy it, but you can. Importing it will be a killer though..
looks great but a bit stiff on the front.
Those Flex bars, do they help with vibration in the hands? 🤙
Yes…for sure.
That’s one sweet looking 125
$$$$ 18k ? It is definitely fast , but what spring was on the rear ?..... couldn't even get a proper sag on the rear. The track was dry and rough, but the rear just wouldn't settle in or down, which makes the forks not work . Can't imagine how scratched up all that carbon is going to be after this weekend 😮😢
Nice
If one comes delivered ill let you know. Grazie
What does it weigh?
Def didn’t go the route I would have for the suspension.
Say what tyres?
Should dyno it
144 kit
Ciao,
Maybe can sponsor, gift one to Williams put his name on it, of fastway motocross mechanic suspension motor repairs welding.
Work it off for sponsorship.
Seems amazing!!
West Windsor NJ
Dam it looks so sicc
Is that the one that Matt Burkeen is racing?
not a chance
Ezra lewis
Matt is racing one of his KTM 150s, our test rider Ezra Lewis is on this one🤙🏼
Gostei 👍
i love these bikes, but why does everyone act like its not a yz 125? its not a brand. its a sweet yz with a different name
You know for a fact you have just brought the plastics, airbox, tank and seat for the yz125. They use the same chassis and engine as the 05-21 so it wouldn’t surprise me you used an old frame. They really wouldn’t smuggle 2 bikes and admit to it on camera because that’s pretty dumb. Cool bikes but don’t know why you gotta lie.
Smuggled…be sure of that.
@@1X84305 I highly doubt that since they have just confessed on video lol. For sure a 2021 bike with the frantic fairings
It doesn’t look at all balanced… but looks cool 😎… I’ve had full Ohlins forks on a 22 Ktm 150 … they were mega ❤
Those sand whoops dams they are the worst but the 125 is the best bike for these but i would like to see this bike on a dirt track (y)
144 big bore!!!! Please 🙏
this track conditions is too dry.
Truck came, then left... Guess it feels off the truck lol
Anyway thanks for trying
It's a Frankenamahatic
Wish i could afford my best bike evet a 1990 Kx100 with slechten pipe, kehein carb rebored, white power suspension and lots of other goodies , profile pic.
I almost hope that fantic will stray away from using yamaha's base so they can come over to the US, bring some more italian flavor to the gate
Just need to find those part numbers.
Suspension 🫤
It’s a Yamaha, you can do the same thing with any YZ
Shipping ANY bike is easy if you know someone in that country to just buy a bike in a crate and ship it out to you.. I have imported about 13 bikes from Japan just using Facebook friends in Japan that I know. I have shipped chassis from the UK into the USA and its not difficult or especially expensive to ship them if you really want that bike or those parts.
Damn I’ve never even heard of these
Edit:
Oh, it’s just a fantic
