    Carmichael was such a good champ. He had fire in him when he raced and i sometimes feel like that fire they had back then is a lost art. today ridders are still amazingly fast but when i watched Carmichael especially against Stewart they battled hard really really hard. Maybe Villapoto just makes it look to easy but I miss the back and forth battles. Carmichael is so well spoken and smart too.

    • @greenbuffalo2854
      @greenbuffalo2854 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well put. You could see the fire in him when he was racing, both on and off of the track. He retired before that flame died out. Villopoto (who is my favorite rider) just doesn't look like he has that fire anymore. Keyword: anymore. He'll settle for a lower finish before going all-out for a win. And maybe thats the smarter thing to do, He's still the best right now, but even in interviews he just seems tired of everything. After Poto retires I feel that the era of great champions will be over. I don't think there will be back-to-back champions in supercross or motocross for atleast a little while. And thats not saying there won't be another era in the future filled with dominance and all time greats, but I don't see the current crop of riders coming up beating any records.

      Sam Smith bro, I trained with racing cyclists for 4 years, lost 40 lbs and sold thought I had aids...lol. After I stopped training riding 50 miles every day I put 30 of the pounds back on. Nature has it own set point, a can manipulate it like bodybuilders or cyclists or on near-term but or body will always go to it's set line of a stop training.

    Always enjoy listening to an RC interview, Classy and honest. Loved his answer to the young mans question! To the fools who badmouth KTM.....just jealousy cause you can't afford one of the best designed and built off road bikes.....Steel frames because they handle and ride better than aluminum. KTM shows no weight disadvantage to the Japanese bikes and better/usable power. I own 2 now along with 3 Hondas........RC's right....just have fun!

    While I prefer Yamaha, KTM is definitely not shit. KTM is the most premium bike out there. Most people don't know that all the pro teams that are sponsored by the big 4 replace their frames roughly every three races. KTM frames last the whole year. Aluminum becomes brittle as it is stretched. Chromoly KTM frames do not and they have deflection built into them.

    I started on a KTM, I own 2. IN all the time iv owned them they have not had one single problem. At 90 hours on one of them we took it into the shop. The guy told us the bike was sportless and needed nothing. KTM makes good all around bikes for the track and the woods. But there prices are very high witch makes people go away from them. Don't get me wrong Honda, Yamaha, and kawi are all good names. But if you are going hard and have the cash. Put it down on a KTM.

    • @EdgarLuisCosta

    • @Craven_Moorehead
      @Craven_Moorehead 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i call bullshit on the lack of maintenance on 90 hours. i ride a 200exc and have recently rebuilt the entire engine, i shit you not. the ktm mechanic told my father and i after 90 hours the top end should be rebuilt and the gearbox should be checked.

    • @Thom1883
      @Thom1883 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      lol think what you want but our 4 stroke now has over 100 hours and no rebuild. We are getting one for it very soon but it's still running!

    • @Craven_Moorehead
      @Craven_Moorehead 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thomas blam you can go over the 90 hour mark of course but it increases the chances of something going wrong and completely killing the engine.

    • @GRowe1978
      @GRowe1978 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @909BlackSnake909
    @909BlackSnake909 10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    It doesn't matter what you ride. Suzuki, KTM, Honda, Yamaha, it's all build for the same purpose and all of them will eventually break down. It's what you prefer what counts. If you think KTM has better suspension compared to Honda and you feel more comfortable on a KTM, you should ride one. And if you think Suzuki is the best, no one will hold you back from buying one. Just make sure YOU ride the bike, instead of the other way around.

  • @goonsquad_lifestyle4653
    @goonsquad_lifestyle4653 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Funny to hear RC, one of the greatest risk takers of all time, a guy who rode on the ragged edge for so many years to win so many championships, tell riders who are coming up, to ride within their limits and take a 3rd. I don't the the GOAT did that in a single race.

  • @juliejones8785
    @juliejones8785 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ricky, The rivalry I remember most was Ponca City '93 when you and Charlie Bogard were fighting it out in the super-minis. After all the rain and mud you guys where clearing impossible jumps that the 250 pro class wouldn't try. I especially loved the way you two would hit the kicker before the tabletop right down front. That should have slowed you down, but you both did some magic superman fly and got there before the bike, then at the last minute you just reached down and jerked those handle bars as far forward as you could. Every lap you both just cased it, but as long as you could get the front wheel on top it was full throttle all the way. After that race everyone knew that 13 year old RC was faster than Charlie B. I solute you master Carmichael!

      Nathan McGuire Can't forget Jeremy McGrath! He was a badass until he got his back/shoulder hurt, arm pump slowed him down so much. Carmichael had just entered the 250 pro class around that time and was winning everything lol. I felt bad for Mcgrath but everyone has to give it up at some point.

    • @gholdsfishing3144

      BLAKEB178 Not true. I know some bikes were the same like the LTZ400 and KFX400 quads, and the KLX110's engine was made by suzuki. the kx85 and rm85. However there big motocross bikes were not the same (125's, 250's 250f's 450's) I have an 06 RMZ450 and my friend has an 06 KX450. there a lot different. How ever I also have a 2004 LTZ400, and have another friend with a 2005 KFX400, exact same bike.

    RC is probably the best ambassadeur for the sport of motocross ever. And when commenting, he see things far ahead than others. His "oh boy" is a certain sign of something coming up. And he is the most successful rider ever. In my opinion only JMB was maybe better but for a too short period of time.

    I've always been partial to Honda, but I've always recognized their lack of quality suspension. They normally are very reliable well built bikes. My new 2014 Honda CRF450X actually had a manufacture defected frozen carburetor screw which I had tapped and replaced. The suspension on this model has received alot of criticism, but I am very happy with it. I've seen KTMs growing up, and my buddy currently owns a 2014 KTM 450SX-F. They have always been very fast reliable bikes. My personal favorite thing about KTMs is their ability to ride smooth at any rpm in any gear. My friends a new rider, and he frequently is in 3rd taking technical slow speed ground and the KTM doesn't even struggle to maintain power. They excel in the woods technically for this reason. I've been to alot of Mike Laffertys races, and he also has shown how the top ends of KTMs always seem to be smoother and more versatile going into corners in various gears.

    I think of KTM s as thoroughbred racehorses, high performance but require high end maintenance program.Japanese bikes are more robust 'weekend warrior' rides, they can be abused & hold up ( for a while)

    @reubenjames3651 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    People are always trying to find some info about which brand to buy. Here is the facts. Bikes today are designed by very sophisticated engineers and software programs that pretty much deliver amazing bikes period. The difference between one brand vs another is almost not important anymore for a novice. That being said you cant look to pro's for advice. Yes they are sponsored but truly amazing/great riders can do it on anything. Most of the bikes you see these guys ride are not even close to a factory bike anyways so why even compare. Some bikes have a little more power, balance, braking whatever but the average rider can't push those limits to even matter so why obsess. its Stupid. A bike that still stands out above the rest is a KX500 two stoke. If you want something amazing and mind blowing find one of those. That's different. That's worth comparing. Doesn't matter what you buy now. Just pick your favorite color and go have fun.

    That was the big answer,because I'm sponsored by Suzuki,wow click bait got me for the first time....I almost clicked in why he would ride a KTM,he's Ricky he can do what ever he wants,hey he might wake up tommorow and love orange cereal and go by a KTM,not likely,he could ride some ones,first well thanks u click baited me...first time.thanks it was still cool to here Ricky answer some serious questions.At the pro level its a mostly mental head game and these kids are so well practiced and ready for Pro racing,but on the other side they have been racing like pros since they were 6 years old,and u never know when they reach the PRO ranks if they let up mentally,may be they stop pushing them selves,in sports I think physical peaks And don't know who has injury s that mess up their training,etc...piece,I was alway impressed with RC will to win,and the other day I heard Roger say the same thing and that was cool...in motorcycle racing there is an old philosophy when u get passed to get the guy right back just to demoralize him take the wind out of his sales,I'd say RC was a good picture of that rule.

    Maybe because KTM just doesn't pay him enough, at this levels every bike is the same, they just pay more or less money to ride them

    • @Keira2142
      @Keira2142 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Whaaaat absolute bullshit. First and foremost: IF KTM decided to sponsor him, they willl fucking sponsor him. Where Suzuki filed for bankruptcy, KTM's are selling like hotcakes and it shows in the insane amount of factory teams they are fielding. When Rockstar dropped Suzuki, guess who they went to?
      Every bike is the same right???? Yeah maybe 30-40 years ago when you got a works bike built EXACTLY for you from the ground up. With the production rule, if you cant stand the frame of a certain brand, its time to switch. Learn your facts before you go posting dumb arse.

    KTM produces the best Enduro bikes in the world. Anyone who has done extreme enduro on a ktm will confirm that for you. Ricky was a pro mx rider. Different story. If he didn't ride KTMs it's because he wasn't payed to do so. KTMs are premium bikes with very good build quality. They break when they get abused and used very hard like every other bike or component or even human body does. And most times they take the punishment really well. The only fault in the brand is the VERY expensive spare parts and the difficulty reaching them in some parts of the world.
    KTM is the only brand that produces different engines, frames and components for enduro, mx and supermotard. All the Japanese brands produce one mx bike and give it to other companies to convert it to enduro or supermoto. If you use the bike for what its made for, properly maintain it and respect it, it is most likely that you will have a happy and joyful relationship with it. No matter the brand or the model. I've had Honda, Suzuki, KTM, even had Piaggio Vespa when i was little, and besides a near death experience with a GSXR (which ofc was my fault) i had happy days and wonderful memories with all my bikes. Congrats to Ricky for all his achievements.
