- Ride along as I take the big fat pig to race some MX. This was about as fast as I could go without bottoming the suspension on the face of the jumps.

Guys, never commented on the channel but been a fan watching for years watching you kick ass on the vintage xr's. Not cool what happened to you guys. Glad your ok.....sorry bout your dog.
Did not expect such a shocking, heavy opener to this video! Glad you both are OK. Super sorry about your dog, that's just awful. By the way, I fell in love with riding and working on dirt bikes again after riding a friend's very nice 1998 XR400. It was the most incredible feeling I have ever felt and I haven't looked back since. Miss that bike to this date. Thank you for the awesome content and keeping the XR alive!
I´m sorry about your loss.
As always you were superb on that XR.
OMG, you've got more control than me, i really liked the little dog, i would probably be in trouble with the law right about now:(
I last raced Mx way back in 2001 on my ‘95 yz250. Since then I grew up, got old, settled down and fell in love with a beautiful XR650r a couple years ago. It’s been one of my favorite bikes ever. Ever since I got my big red pig I questioned whether it was possible to race the mighty 650r on a motorcross track. It seemed like a ridiculous question to even think so I never looked into it. Then CZcams recommended this video....
Love your channel mate and the way you ride the big XRs and prove how good they are in the right hands, so cool to watch. I've had three XR600R over the years and still have one 94 model now and after years of hunting have just got a tidy original 2001 low hour XR650R. They are both such great bikes i love them. Keep up the good work. ride hard 🤙👍. Ps, real sorry to hear about your dog, that sucks! It's a real shame how thoughtless and selfish some people can be. Take care👍
Wow, scary situation! Real sorry to hear about your dog too. Nice job once again on the XR.
Wow, how horrible. So sad you lost Max but happy we didn’t lose both of you too!!
Awesome riding! I love the XR 650!
My dad had a 650L. That bike was SO heavy lol! I was 13 and rode a CR 80. I’m looking to get back in to riding after many years. Gonna keep an eye out for a good deal on a used Honda. I’d prefer to get a CR 250 but if I saw an opportunity for an XR 650r at a good price I wouldn’t hesitate!
Going to miss your dog ☹️. Glad you both ok . Great racing thanks for these vid showing what a xr can do . I just bought xr number 3 I don’t race any more or even ride much I just restore my xr’s .👍👍🇬🇧
Very sorry to hear about your dog. Glad yall are OK.
The 650R is a beast. Love mine!
Couples that race together, stay together.
Damn man that's rough. I would have thrown that damn generator on top of their camper. You're a better person than me.
Wow that sucks about you guys getting poisoned and your dog died. Glad your ok now. I think when you show up to a race put up a pop up canopy on either side so no one can be too close to you. Good footage of the race at sunset. RACE ON👍
No dought i always spread out and take up space , park the truck crooked put up canopy,s etc.. i always can tighten everything up whenever I want
You are so fast in that tight left-right corner, great to see 😀
That was my favorite spot!
Holy hell. Sorry to hear about Max and what a close call for you two. I'll remember this when I see a generator parked nearby.
OMG, glad you are ok. RIP Max.
Man, so sorry about your experience, and the loss of your dog. That super sucks. Glad you are OK now and back at it. Cant wait to get to my 86 XL600R project this winter. Watching you roast the competition is totally motivating to me. Wish you and the lady the best!
Just went back and watched the angel oak video with little Max, so sorry, some people are just not brought up right:(
Sorry for your loss. RIP Max.
Just curious, what gears are you in during most of the races? Are you just in second gear almost the whole race? Do you stay in first gear through the hole shot?
Sorry you have to deal with so many people who dont care about others. I hate generators and people who cant seem to understand camping isnt like home with a VCR and big screen and they dont care how the noise effects anyone. I can't ride the BRP on a motocross track, but you sure can! Great rippin dude.
Soo you can probably play with the rear shock a bit but you ride that 650 awesome! Do you like it over the 600R? The 600 suspension seems more lush.
Great video and nice riding man. Got a 98 BRP with an FCR carb and she rips pretty good. Kinda fun to jump between that and the 21 350 xc-f, way different bikes but each fun in their own way. Keep the videos coming!
A '98 BRP ?
Huh ?
@@linguinatorschwartz9309 big red pig :D
@@Prisonmike89 -- I know what "BRP" stands for . . . I have one.
They were produced from 2000 to 2007. They were not produced in 1998.
@@linguinatorschwartz9309 They still make them don't they
Once and for all, fellas… the BRP is the Xr650r. Made from 2000-2007
The Xr650l is an awesome bike, made from 1993 to current, but it IS NOT THE BRP!! Please look up specs if there’s any confusion, one is not in any way a version of the other, totally different bikes! Both awesome, but totally different! Not flexing, but I own both, soooo………
Wow man so sorry about your dog and the situation. Glad you and your girl were ok though.
Sad about the puppy but glad you guys are ok and still shredding with that iconic red beast. 👍 I'd shift the generator around to the other side or put sugar in the gas, but that's me, Are you guys on Instergram or facebook that we can follow you on?
So sorry to hear about this. Poor Max......the best medicine for your loss is another pup to love and fill the void. I'd be turning every generator close by back toward the other folks campers. Scary stuff.
Love the riding mate. You’re a machine.
A question though. Are solar panels and batteries not a thing over there?? As all my friends with caravans and even motor homes in Australia have solar panels for power they are amazing start charging as soon as the sun comes up and no sound or fumes from the generator
Perfect little track for an XR, lookin smooth
And you, when you will get an 650R?😁
@@Zecadadega prices are crazy these days and my 600 does everything I need so I’m not sure it will be any time soon.
Yeaah I know, its crazy. In Portugal its the same and I thing all over the world. Fortunately I have one for 10years now 😁
We did an Enduro yesterday. Had two guys show up and ride XR650L bikes. Competitors were supposed to do 4 laps. I don't think either of those riders started their second lap.
damn man this track looks fun, wish i’d gotten to ride it. shame they closed down right before i moved here. would’ve been the closest track to me as well. oh well, spyder is still fun, can’t say i’m much of a fan of the new orlando layout though 😬
I'm so sorry about your dog 😢. Stay safe guys!
Ha! I should meet you somewhere and let you ride mine. It's got the heavier springs and it's been revalved by Doug Harvey. Only problem is that it's been sitting in the garage for the last 9 years.
Absolutely gutted for you guys. "Generators off at 10pm" is something I see on every flyer but it's never enforced. For what? These people in their $20k-80k campers can't be bothered to sleep with an extra blanket.
So sorry about the puppers!! I Got a lead on a nice 02 BRP for a good price, curious on your final thoughts for wrestling it around a moto track on rare occasion after maybe some suspension tuning. Not a big track rider but sometimes ya gotta run some Motos with friends.
Go for it, I have a couple 02’s
Gotta get some of those transition lenses… I literally couldn’t see anything after the sun set… Tried clear, yellow, and blue and still couldn’t see anything… ended up taking them off second lap…
So sorry you lost Max. :(
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog and your injuries. If someone killed my dog, injured my wife, and put me in the ICU, I would go talk with a personal injury lawyer about settling that person's hash for their negligent behavior.
Jc so sorry to hear 😮
So that's how your supposed to ride it! I've had one of these for years (xr650r) ha ha ha
Glad you and your lady are ok. Sorry about your dog. Close call.
Wow dude, I could see the pain in your wife's eyes when you were talking about what happened. Glad you are good now but that is some messed up sh_t. I have a toy hauler but I hardly use my generator because I don't want to be rude jackhole like that.
P.S You did the post race wrap up...nice!
un which shift do you start the race? which are your final thoughts about the red pig?
I was using 2nd gear to start.
Overall it did an ok job on the track. It felt like the rear end wanted to come around whenever it left the ground. And it bottomed very easy on the jump faces.
@@fastguysslowbikes excelent man!!! hope you enjoy it a little more and give a full opinion on another video!
My condolences guys. That's rough.
That generator running constantly, right next to you is unbelievably rude. Guaranteed way to get yourself in to big arguments, very often. Or get your genny stolen, lol
I had a xr650r with a full staintune exhausts system take baffle out if you had this system the Yamaha rider would have been sand blasted and felt like he ran over a landmine.
Really sorry to hear what you both went through. unfortunately the arseholes walk amongst us. Best wishes from the UK.
What gearing are you running on the 650?
Stock
Dude almost took u out at 8:20
It unbuckled my boot!
Answer is no unfortunately. Been riding the 600 and 650r for thirty years. Hated all KTMs and those little tiny 450s out there because they ruined the XR line. Now I have 20hrs on an EXC five hundo. I've come to the realization my 650 enjoys beating me up almost sadisticly. It's not any faster either. My XR is for climbing and straightish dirt roads at about 80mph.
What the fuck?!! I'm so sorry! What's wrong with people?! Glad you're okay...so sad about the dog. Beautiful people go through the worst shit!
Rip Max 😓
Damn
"Can you race motocross on a Honda XR650R ?"
There is a question that was asked by no one, ever.
Stay tuned: next we'll be racing an 18-wheeler in a Grand Prix. I'm sure you're all wonding . . . can we get the hole-shot ?
Man i know this is 2 years old but i am so sorry to hear you lost your dog. Thats insane to me those people are that inconsiderate. If someone asked me to move my generator i would say "No problem bud. No worries at all sorry about that."
Late to the party, but was the bike just uncorked and jetted? Awesome racing!
You are awesome man.. but why you didnt use the xr 600r? The real beast is the 600r... we want see you on the xr 600r beating the other guys, and if possible its nice to see you from other views on track, not onboard💪
The transmission is still broken on the 600r. It's on the back burner.
@@fastguysslowbikes the 3rd gear? I had broked the 3rd gear with my 600r😆..
Ok fix it and good luck 💪😊
damn…. you lost your dog. Sorry for the Loss.
Was that yer lady rubbing you in the first moto?
No that was a bad ass old dude. I think he said he was 55!
So sorry to hear. Inconsiderate humans is all I can think of. Mike Young was quite successful racing Mx on the big xr.
Sorry about your dog
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend generations should be banned in camp sites
lol, must hurt if you get passed by 650 enduro bike on mc track lol.
The fact the loser with the generator had no respect, i think you should just turn it off on him
Came for the dirtbikes...left furious. I wouldn't have even ridden. I would have just gone to jail. Wow man, I'm sorry. People are such fuckwits.
$$
There's a little thing called common sense. People should just have some of it that sucks about your dog.
Put a good exhaust on it let it breath it's constipated trust me I rode the he'll out of one 20 years ago best thing ever made as good as riding ya women
It wasnt fast enough for you? You must be so fast!
ww# .daq
Too slow too heavy for motocross.
Lololol. Guess you haven't seen the rest of the channel.
