Just ordered another shirt. This time for my 12yr old son. Inspiring Racing!!! I grew up riding in the Las Vegas desert as a kid on my XRs. Keep the content coming...
Dude, that was epic! Loved the whole deal, crowd funded, 'wrong' bike having a laugh ( BUT still putting in 110% effort with your training and commitment) ! Seeing you on the podium actually brought a lump to my throat, for real. Huge congratulations my friend 👌
A GPX race would be awesome. Looking at a TSE250r to replace the xr 200 I jave on loan for hair scrambles. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the xr600.
@@TortureTestMagazine The XR600R is the real deal bike despite its age... That bike definitely should be a bike tested by Gabe at Torture Test Magazine!
This was without a doubt the greatest racing story I’ve seen in a long time. Somebody else may have crossed the line first, but you are THE IRONMAN. Nobody else could have accomplished what you did. I remember following this story live on Instagram cheering you on from the other side of the country and watching it all unfold. Congratulations Gabe, you earned it and then some! Whatever you decide to build next, you can count me in! Honored to be a part of the channel :)
Hey Gabe, I met you at the race and took a picture with you. I also get the event rags signed by you. That was Me! I was there being the pit crew for my uncles team. We couldn’t stop talking about you all night long. We were number 40. Thanks for being so cool and good race brother.
This video has me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Absolutely amazing. I want to see an aftermath of the bike... I really feel like you need to be featured in DirtBike magazine for this
That. Was. Awesome. This is the content I love to watch.... 32 minutes of awesomeness. Not 10 minutes of how much a bike weighs by some dude who doesn't even know how to ride. 🤣 Can't wait for your next race!
I'm glad you thought it was awesome! I think the next project bike(s) are going to be every bit as exciting so I'm looking forward to the next race as well!
28:23 I choked up. After feeling like I was there with you through everything, hearing the joy of the crowd seeing you come through is worth crying about.
12th. The fact that you did this, a race where people have literally almost died. You did it on a bike that was destroyed, had like 15 horsepower, and you got second. I don’t even know what to say. That is insane. Where was I supposed to begin in saying this? It’s crazy!
This video was great! As a guy who raced Baja for a decade, you did the most important thing. You kept moving! The low tech. DR200 was an advantage. Less to go wrong. Great Job!!!
You are one bad ass fool! I have had 3 back/neck surgeries be careful you don't go wreck your body. I killed myself at work for my 4 kids and paid the price for it. Do it for yourself and for the fun of it. I appreciate your content because the bikes you ride almost anyone can afford and you are someone I can definitely root for. You can do almost anything you put your heart and soul into keep getting it brother.
Man I don't remember actually cheering for someone as I watched the instagram feeds ever before. That was absolute perfection, I'm so happy for you....
Congratulations on everything brother, I can only imagine how hard the journey was and even since getting all the footage put together. Your an inspiration to all of us! Keep it up man 💪💯🇺🇸
Awesome job Gabe! Your videos inspired me to a 9 hour endurance race in Missouri. What an experience! I ended up third overall Ironman! Not too bad for a 45 year old! Maybe I’ll do another one on my stepsons 2002 TTR 250......mmmmm Keep up the good work!
I wanted to show my thanks rather than just say it. Your videos are my favourite on TH-cam - with doing all these fun things on older bikes, and not having to have a huge budget. Things that feel achievable to all of us 😊 You’re videos help us feel like we’re along for the ride too
LOVE your story! You just cant imagine what its like racing the 24hr @GlenHelen unlels you've done it! Those last 6 hours are brutal and it's absolutely amazing how much energy (mental/physical) the sunrise brings. Definitely reminds you how spiritually connected we are to the sun.
From all the way over here in Australia - thankyou for doing these videos! These are the best - the ones that make you feel like normal everyday people can go and just have fun and enjoy themselves, and not have to have to best gear. After watching this I just went for a great ride on my crappy old DR250R (not quite a DR200) - and loved it more than riding my more modern bikes! Thankyou for doing this video and inspiring enjoyment regardless of bike type ☺️
Suzuki powah babeh! Congratulations man!! This past March I was in an enduro race in Guanajuato Mexico rocking my DRZ400 (the only one in the entire event) against alot of very lightweight enduro-otiented bikes and I can relate to many things you felt during the race! That was my first ever enduro race and despite that I managed to get 5th place and that hurt a lot of ktm riders feelings LOL
Keeping your heart rate down is so smart. I’ve run a lot of long distance trail races (foot races) and it’s the same principle. You have to keep your heart rate down.
Yep. 60 seconds of max heart rate can totally wipe someone out for the whole day! If you enjoy the content please check out my "best ways to support" page on my website which shows how to support the channel for free! Thanks! torturetestmagazine.com/pages/best-ways-to-support-ttm-some-are-free
This is more than another race and 2nd place! It is much more! I strongly believe Gabe and you all paid for started a new era of racing! I had much more fun watching this than any other video last few years. It is emotional, it is fun, a community of off road racing fans, big heart, big love! No big sponsors, no factory mechanics, no big trucks or 18 wheeler, nothing of bling bling! "Just" for doing it with big love! Wish you all the best and lets continue what started here!
Dude we NEED to get you in the 24 hours of Perry Mountain! True east coast single track in Alabama! So many reasons why you need to do this! we need to talk!
Your race is an inspiration to all the kids that don't have new cool bikes. It proves that with determination and dedication you can still win on a sub standard bike.
It's race days like that that will make you smile whenever you think about it.... it's not always about the biggest and fastest bikes it's about the craic! Great ride, well done!
The legend of Gabe and the dr200s. No one at that race will forget that. And second place. Like what did the guy in first ride? Obviously a more capable bike and your endurance despite everything. And how encouraging to see, I might have been able to do 24 hour races when I was younger (like not even for sure), but no way I could do it now due to health issues that came up and now I get tired at 8:30pm no matter what I do, so it was incredible to see you do so well. There's something special about you. So in the you may have come in 2nd in the race but you won the show.
Way to go out there and absolutely smash the pride and confidence of all the sponsored team riders. You have won the internet and life for 2020 I believe.
TH-cam kept recommending the DR series to me, probably because I'm a fresh EXC owner, and I kept scrolling past; what a treat did I miss! Really great effort, enjoyable commentary and strong racing spirit. Good job!
Great Job Gabe and thank you for sharing your adventure! Suzuki should put you on a factory team after that! I'm sure this video will sell more DR200's than their top sales associate could! Stay cool, and keep it real! You have a ton to be proud of.
Thanks for an awesome performance and inspirational video Gabe!!! I'll bet you had more sponsors than any two other bikes out there combined. It gave me a little tingle to see all the stickers on the DR!
Thanks. Keep up the show. Good entertainment . Awesome riding . Keep posting your fun stuff. You have grit keep positive. I bought an inexpensive 05 for my children and found your channel trying to see what knowledge base is available for this underwhelming bike. (Not much you may be one of the few experts) Your promotion of this model must have folks scouring classifieds for one.
Gabe, you are a freaking tank! That was freaking awesome. Side note: all dislikes are from the KTM-owners who were totally butt-hurt by you and the DR200.
This is freaking awesome and inspirational. Thanks for the incredible content. Can't wait to see what you do next. I'll be wearing my KTM Tears shirt with pride next time I race my XR200!
DR200s just went up in value. You put in the training hours to get in amazing condition. Great athletic performance! Class act wearing that KDX shirt after the race. Your mini-movie on the KDX200 is really excellent. Wondering how you would have done on a Fredette-prepped KDX220.
Unbelievable! Making the big boys cry. Imagine explaining to your sponsors about betting beat by a homemade team on a DR 200. Love to be a fly on the wall of that meeting. Outstanding!!!!
Dude can we get some more insight on the physical training you did to prep for this lol. Incredible story and incredible work man. Congratulations to you and everyone that made this a reality.
SUper cool video! I was feeling proud of you as the racwe wore on and you got in and out of the right head space, caught yourself and powered thru. You would make a good Marine!
Fuck yeah bro! From the claws of depression to 2nd place! Your content is seriously awesome and I wish you had 10 times the subs you have. There's isn't a small channel more deserving. You put so much heart and soul into your videos, your badass!
Absolutely amazed by your determination and attitude! Congratulations, you absolutely earned that spot on the podium and I hope to see you in the #1 spot soon. Keep pushing the limits of yourself and I know great things will happen. #KTMTears #DR200
What an insane feat of endurance. You did a phenomenal job. Keep kicking strong and putting yourself to the test. You will be amazed at how much more capable you are than your mind lets you think you are. All of the strongest people I know have those same internal conflicts. My clapped out KTM weeps in admiration of your victory
Amazing work. I've only done 12hrs but what you describe is exactly what I endured. I always had punctures (3 in one) I can tell you, you don't want to be doing them whilst you are shattered.
Love this video! Fuel by ktm tears! Best thing ever. My son has a dr200-06 model he races a rm250 in xc events here in Indiana. He has been inspired to race an event on his 200 just for fun!😂
Gabriel you are an inspiration to me and my buddies that i ride with. Love every ounce of content you create and i wish you nothing but the best in the future. Here’s to hoping 2021 doesn’t suck as much ass as this year
Love your channel. So surprised you haven't gotten support from a company on a bike or... You were killing it. BTW I wear my Rust Bucket Racing t-shirt quite often.
Very cool video. There's something to be said about small framed, underpowered bikes. The low energy nature of this style of bike makes it great for an endurance race.
Thank you all for watching. Let's build another and do more!

Dude I want to see you go back an I am sure you'll win first place!!
Awesome job crew
Congrats on finishing the race mate. Not many people can say they did a 24hour race solo
Dude, that was epic!
Loved the whole deal, crowd funded, 'wrong' bike having a laugh ( BUT still putting in 110% effort with your training and commitment) !
Seeing you on the podium actually brought a lump to my throat, for real.
Huge congratulations my friend 👌
This. Was. AWESOME!!!! Okay so who's ready to get Gabe to Baja on a GPX?!?!
I'm ready for a GPX hahah. Was seriously considering one but then today the next bike was determined when I got an offer I can't refuse on an XR600R
A GPX race would be awesome. Looking at a TSE250r to replace the xr 200 I jave on loan for hair scrambles. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the xr600.
That would be sweet!!
@@TortureTestMagazine put the call out on 4chan to buy sponsor spots, should get flooded with spicy memes😎
@@TortureTestMagazine The XR600R is the real deal bike despite its age... That bike definitely should be a bike tested by Gabe at Torture Test Magazine!
I hope DR200’s aren’t banned in the future for unfair advantage! You killed it, dam fine job.
IDK if I would support a ban, but I could get onboard with a 200cc air cooled class. We could call it the "Good Luck On Those Hills Class."
this isn't F1
Man when you pulled that monster off the stand it sounded like it was breathing fire just rarin'to go!
This was without a doubt the greatest racing story I’ve seen in a long time. Somebody else may have crossed the line first, but you are THE IRONMAN. Nobody else could have accomplished what you did.

I loved your sticker because it has a CEL on it haha. Thanks for supporting this
I'm not a KTM but you made me cry, bro
Hey Gabe, I met you at the race and took a picture with you. I also get the event rags signed by you. That was Me! I was there being the pit crew for my uncles team. We couldn’t stop talking about you all night long. We were number 40. Thanks for being so cool and good race brother.
I remember that Aidan! Thanks for the cheers out there
"Plus one Brett power. Had to be at least one horse power" Hahaha I was laughing so hard. You did great man! It was a pleasure meeting you.
I'm gonna need the Brettpower again on the next one so hope you're out there again!!!
@@TortureTestMagazine Ill be seeing you out on the battlefield (;
This video has me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Absolutely amazing. I want to see an aftermath of the bike... I really feel like you need to be featured in DirtBike magazine for this
I'm glad it was entertaining! I was pictured in the Dirt Bike Magazine article of the race but so far nobody from anything has reached out for comment
@@TortureTestMagazine You could do a Co-op article with them
Factory Suzuki should be sponsoring you dude, incredible
Wow! That was an awesome achievement! Next mission: Dakar on a Dr200!👍
One day 😁
You're incredible. Not only is a solo 24 hr a huge feat in itself, but on a turd of a dr200. My hero!

Totally love it man....your the Dude. I'm 66 yrs. Old ride vintage. Very cool. You got me feeling motivated. Keep it pinned bro!
I came to this channel for the reviews but I stayed for the endurance races, god bless you man your an inspiration
24 hrs is a long time on a dirt bike, I’m impressed. This race is going on my bucket list
...tonight, watching this in Oz, the two off-road dirt bikers that impress me the most in 2021 - you and Toby Price. :-)

Great work man !
Thank you!! And thanks for staying subbed for nearly a decade hahah

Love your channel. So surprised you haven't gotten support from a company on a bike or... You were killing it. BTW I wear my Rust Bucket Racing t-shirt quite often.
Very cool video. There's something to be said about small framed, underpowered bikes. The low energy nature of this style of bike makes it great for an endurance race.
Epic race and awesome video. Something seriously cool is going on here. Time to make a movie 🎥 soon!
Just found your video - I watched it all in one go. Subscribed. Wish you all the best in 2021, can't wait! Great content, absolutely great stuff.
