The Ole yz250 is still a great bike. Has been since 06.
98*
91
But they were good in the 70's too
@@kylejo9698 is nothing like the 06 with the frame and kayaba sss forks.
The ole YZ has been awesome since it’s creation 😜🤙🏼
@kelvis1980 ...most (even pros and ex pros) would say the iron horse was superior...and honestly I'd rather have a 03 than a 13 or even 23
Nice to see you not so beaned out on them damn drinks Johnny!
Ducati looks like it will be a monster bike. Kroc is a Red Bull athlete
in the 80's..i could buy 2 bikes for a little over $4000 ..a 125 & 250 or 125 & 465/490 YZ.. 2 strokes were so cheap to race... that was alot of money but still affordable ... the high cost to buy a bike nowadays will kill the sport for anyone who isn't a high income earner or sponsored by Mom & Dad ( we had those back then too )
i laughed hearing a $1800 exhaust upgrade on another channel...that was a complete bike in my days....pipes were $200- $250 up here then 🇨🇦
$10k - $12k for a bike ( plus taxes ) then how much upgrading it?? would you have close to $20k after exhaust/engine/suspension upgrades??? plus gear costs??
what is that nowadays?? Helmet/Boots/Clothing etc...
And then a expensive Van ?? also upgraded.... this is Crazy... I know this has become a very expensive sport...but that usually kills it for the Average guy....one without Rich Parents funding their kid's Dreams or Hobby...
Man i sure am glad i raced back then ( 1975 - 1990 )
🇨🇦🤓🤟
Well said. I was part of that era as well, back when racing didnt brake the bank.
Look at the average median income difference in 1976 all the way to 2022. Sure a 1976 CR250 was $1300 plus setup and tax but look at the average median income of $9200. This would buy you 7 bike on that income.
Today a new CR250 cost $8300 and the average median income is $63,000 Today you could buy 7.5 new CR250's with this income.

Your wrong about Suzuki being a POS my Mike has been beat on hard for two years wrecks and all and still rides like new and it's a 2918 and I can get new for $4500 five hundred more than I gave for my 2018 two years ago and only change oil and clean air filter onnly think it needs is a starter or a good rider . So half price for a bike that can do the same thing I'm a Suzuki fan for life now
Marvin let Dungey by for championship at East Rutherford one of the years
Thank u
And my wife and I immediately turned to each other and said, "WTF is he doing? He will NEVER have this opportunity again!" And we were so right.
@@rubyxfinity8634 it pissed me off at the time but in the big picture he's the big homie for that move.
I think it was East Rutherford, NJ when Musquin "cross rutted" for Dungey.
the whole, KTM, Gas Gas, Husky model is completely ridiculous. I can’t believe they ever thought it was a good idea from a business perspective. They would have been better off focusing on one brand and getting that right rather than dilute their effort and budget across 3 different brands that are basically the same with different branding and a couple of minor insignificant differences
they have a huge % of the market with the 3 brands
It's all related to emission cost, not as much green tax doing this way
Come on man! Everyone knows that splitting your profits across 3 “different” brands is the most beneficial way to go! 😂 Couldn’t agree with you more! I’m amazed they thought this was a good idea!
They should of more trim levels in bikes maybe... kinda like the auto industry. Budget to cream of the crop.
Then dealers will be like: after market wheels + $3,000 , scratch resistant panels + $1,500 , brake pad upgrade + $400 etc
However, I do like the idea of offering works bikes in addition to normal bikes.
@franzv3172 that's the up sale. Some guys have more cash than talent.
I would love that! just like in the MTB world. you can buy up to 5 different levels of better parts!
Like how ktm brand has this option already
@JakeScott-ke3sh yes.
Nobody wants electric bikes in moto
Yes they do. What an ignorant comment
I wouldn't follow the sport anymore.
IMO, they should start a completely separate electric class. Along with bringing back a 125 pro class.
@@Iwasthewalrus What a total fake fan LOL. A simple change in a powerplant is going to cause you to stop following the sport 🤣. That's why change is absolutely fantastic as it weeds out fake fans like you.
WEF does..
I do
KTM aren't in trouble, it's just called smart business in a struggling world economy.
It's just a restructuring.
The lock rear wheel and walk modes would help the Varg with Hard enduro
Lyndon Poskit was meant to race a Alta at Erzberg with the rear wheel hold but it was stolen before he got there
Great video Jonny!!
thank you
I can't tell you how many times in the woods I wish my bike went in reverse just to get out of a situation. But it did happen to me twice on my 73 Bultaco both times were going through a big water crossing mud bike sputtering and and stalled it. I fired her back up left side kick and all let the clutch out and right back into the mud hole. No bulshit 🤷🏻
Ah, my kids enjoyed watching Spidey and Friends while I listened to ya 😂
lol
When we go all electric, what will replace the BaRaaah-da-da-da closing line hopper? Let’s hear it!
Hey man love the videos! If you have a ND or CPL filters for your camera it will cut the reflection out of the picture. I had to twist the filter for full effect. Braaaaapppp
Thanks for the tip!
Yup they are pricing themselves out of business. Suzuki is still a great bike. The only thing they don't have is electric start. Roczens bike is the same as the rest of twisted team. Chiz is the test mule for roczen. So how can they be different?
I am very confused on the Tomac contract. When he signed for 2024 supercross it was announced supercross, with an option for outdoors, and 2025 option. Basically saying he has committed to supercross only but the team has giving him a 2 year contract if he wants it. I don't know what changed? And media walkabout about this but no explanation on how his current contract was pulled? Maybe you can do some digging.
A healthy Tomac is faster than a Webb. Heck he showed he could everyone a couple of times while healing from that Achilles..
I thought everyone had just accepted top level cycling was full of doping?
I have officially won as many Tour de France's as Lance Armstrong.
My 2002 yz250 is still my go to bike , i sold my 450 two years ago
You've talked about this on a live show. You can get a great full suspension mountain bike for $5k and a Japanese 250 for $10k. Freaking hard to wrap my head around that until I quickly realized that they make most of their money on parts, which are expensive. There's a lot of Japanese dirt bikes as well and dealerships to sell and support them. KTM has all these brands with fewer dealers for them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but KTM has a pretty good dealer chain in the US. Don't know about Husky.
The Zuke is way better than 95% of the amature riders will ever be so why pay for a $ 12,000 KTM ?
I agree hopper is full of shit, rmz450s kick ass
it’s about the look ..who wants to sit in pits with an old outdated RMZ 450 ..
i Do 👍👌I’ll never be more than average and am realistic about it
I’ve never spent 12K for a KTM and have bought many. Buy smart. They are many thousands off now. Just like idiots finance bikes.
@@donbrashsux for real man what happened to brand loyalty… it seems nowadays it doesn’t matter, its all about who has the most technological advancments on their $15k bikes when they will get smoked by a kid on a 65😂
Ktm moved one of it's major manufacturing plant from Australia to China last year
Pecco won not Martin in MotoGP
Been rqcing the same vintage bike foe theblast 4 seasons. Best racing I've taken part in for decades. Unfortunatly, still having to buy the modern crap for my son.
Think you're a bit off on the MotoGP.
Martin won the sprint but Pecco won the GP as Martin crashed out, also Martin isn't the fastest. It's still Pecco, he's the defending champion & championship leader
+ Jack Miller will be racing the pro mx series in Australia this weekend on the 21st.
10% improvement isn't going to do anything for the time period you're talking about.
Say what you want about Suzuki 90% of people would not notice must of a differents in power
A battery loses capacity after being used and recharged multiple times ( hundreds + ) and slowly loses the 100% charge it could achieve when brand new....this is known if you used cordless tools for decades or like i have since they came out.... having spares to rotate and charge as you work lengthens the life of a battery but they soon lose a cell ( individual battery in pack ) and the battery loses capacity and run time for your use...this will be the same for an Electric Battery powered vehicle too..2 or 4+ wheels ... they are fine but have their own weaknesses as any motorized vehicle has too....
there is a place for them in the sport and will be better but not soon .... like long distance vehicles hauling heavy loads...a battery is Never going to compete with a Diesel engine....would you fly in a Electric Plane? across the oceans? like you can ?? not I...nope...
🇨🇦🤓🤟
I want small 2 stroke race bikes to be EFI, with hand guards, head light, and brake lights for trail riding even after the sun goes down with my kids… 🎉🎉🎉
Salt lake I was there
East Rutherford New Jersey I forgot what year.. I was there
Marvin racing the 2 strokes class not the actual mx1 or mx2 class
Trump was almost assassinated and you’re worried about this crap right now? At least Cooksie is talking about it.
why would i talk about that on a moto news segment bro glad you like watching tmz
I was able to buy my 24 ktm 250 for 7999. Had to drive for it but it was worth it
I’ve heard a rumor that husqy will no longer be making dirtbikes. I don’t believe that’s true but I’ve heard it from multiple people
lol
Starla are $16-17k
…I’ll stick with my 6500-7k 2t
Bikes I’m 48, ain’t going pro
…and to 99.999999995% of the kids out there, NEITHER ARE YOU!😂😂😂
Thinking motos hitting another wall as far as growth goes🤷🏽♂️
I am not a fan of the electric bike and I would not worry about the battery has long as it will last at least 30 plus minutes for a moto, because I am sure they are some kind of lithium. They can always swap batteries out between races. However, I race R/C cars and batteries and how new they are, the way they are charged, what is their capacity it, and their IR are all a big deal, along with the ESC and it's programing. The only thing I think that is cool about the electric bike would be the ability to program the ESC with something like push control for cornering to help maintain corner speed which I think all riders would like.
Same here and I agree. They really just need their own class. Mixing them with gas counterparts doesn't make sense.
@@gigasipke I agree 100%
When we getting an MV Agusta MX bike??
See it like this
KTM has all the brands
Its like kawasaki should have 6 diffeent factory teams...its expensive
electrics hopp i'm just not interested
It’s because KTM changed who does their manufacturing and the quality control is at an all time low.
COLT DID what 5 races? after injury...no testing.
SO HE DID TOTALLY OK on BETA
So you take is WRONG
Every race team is cutting back buddy. It takes a lot of money to fund a team and most of it is from private owners and businesses that do it because they want to. It’s still only half way through the year, guaranteed more cuts for everyone is coming by 2025. Stark had a top exec leave, you left that part out, they are not safe either.
DONT BUY ELECTRIC SO THE NEED TO CANSEL THE "FUTER"
CONSUMER RULES
KTM's MotoGP budget literally ate Troy Lee.. Everytime a GP bike wrecks 50 GasGas 85s get their wings 💸💸💸
Nobody wants electric mx, wats the separation who has the best battery.....
Deegan and tomac would never sign to Ducati they're not going to put themselves as a guinea pig on a new bike common sense they will stay with Yamaha
Factories*
The aussie guys is where its at. Get over it.
5:29 “in other nudes” what where you thinking there Johnny? 🤣🤣🤣
haha
POS? What ever
👍
Ill definitely stop watching motos when electric bikes come sad 😔
But yamajunk is inferior
Bro you butchered the Warren Buffet saying for a ‘financial guru’. It’s being fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. Plus Jorge Martin won the sprint race in Germany, and crashed out of the lead in the main race. Come on bro at least make sure what you’re reporting is correct
HOPPER
the WANNABE that sell his FRIENDS to be in the COOL GROUP
You gotta see what the head of KTM JAPAN posted about Trump the other day!
Deegan will win going backwards just to give the field a chance.
That's if he doesn't crash, which he does every single race 😂
@@churchofbrap876Everyone in the top 5 has crashed multiple times. Kitchen, Shimoda, Deegan, Vialle, Masterpool, Hymas. So what's your point? They are all pushing harder than your mother on a toilet the morning after eating cheese curds and cashews.
@@fugginrambo they showed a stat on RDL, Deegs crashes more than any other top 10 rider, and often takes other riders out too (see first turn last Saturday). He'll be out injured if it continues.
@churchofbrap876 just makes him more impressive with his points lead given hiw much he goes down and still smokes them
@@kelvis1980 I think the PC guys have his number now. He's lucky it came late in the season.
It’s cause their bikes are overpriced.
The Beta is garbage. Talked to a guy at the track who had one. Said power is like a 350 way down on power
Fake news
Down on power but it can pull Benny over quads lol
@@josephcapps7325 Benny doesn’t have a stock engine
It isn't garbage, it's easy on the power. Most people buying a 450 ain't using anywhere near its full power anyways.
@@stevesmith756 are you implying that Colt did? Why would they give Colt a stock motor?
GO AWAY TOMAC
🤡
OK Coop .
I hope troy lee goes with Yamaha
They all sit back and wait during election years. I work for a large company who makes home products. I been there since 1990. Its that way every election year when you have one driving inflation and one who will turn the economy around. It started back when clinton ran the first time and he was pushing for NAFTA. most companies who made products here held off on growing companies to see who would be elected. I believe if biden wins you will see husky or gas gas take a hit . Possibly cutting back on one or the other. And companies will hold up on changes and keep prices down. I think your gonna see a slowdown in changes to around every 4 to 6 years. Prices cant keep going up. $10,000 is about the limit for 75% of the dirtbike buyers. Most average people dont need holeshot devices, map switches, and junk like that. Just make a good reliable bike.
