James Stewart 125 days looked like he was at local race not a national. His speed difference was unreal.
100%
totally agree he did things on that 125 that were unbelievable, I remeber when he let Reed catch and pass him in an outdoor race just to pass him back
@@studboy9244that was at Unadilla
For real especially on the 125 so fun to watch mind blowing how much he charged
Big RC guy, feared Bubba coming up. Seeing him run times on the 125 competitive with the 250, crazy
James Stewart on a 125!! He was on another level. Doing quads in Supercross the 250’s wouldn’t do
By far Stewart on that 125. He was doing things on that bike people never thought possible. Not only did he win but he dominated everyone on that bike. It was insane watching it happen
James was amazing to watch because you could SEE his racing intensity.
Marty Smith on a 125 and Bob Hannah on a 250 our some of the fastest riders I have ever seen. RC and James in the newer era.
Marty Smith will never be forgotten!
Very difficult to compare the two sets of riders from different times. All very worthy contenders.
Bob "Hurricane" Hannah was the "Man" back in the day !💪👍
I know there’s lots of guys to remember but Jeramy mc was wicked rider
danny "magoo" chandler without a doubt,when people like roger decoster were worried that he was going too fast and needed him to slow down a bit says a lot, i can guarentee that has never happened or been talked about of any other rider in history.
I’ll have to look him up some more
If Magoo could stay up he was unbeatable 👍 talk about someone who rode on the edge 😲
Thanks for bringing up Danny. I would have if you didn’t. That holeshot at mxdn was epic.
Agree there is some great video documentation of Magoo
Stewart was told his whole career to slow down. Had he slowed down he would easily have more wins and championships than anybody.
If u never got to watch James in person on a 125 u were missing out!
Used to watch him and Rc on minis at Dade City Raceway.
Stew, Torteli, RC, MC, Lusk. All were demons on the 2-strokes.
Plus Mcgrath, Emig, Bradshaw, Pichon and Everts
@@sakenamam3083 People seem to forget the likes of Hannah and Rick Johnson as well.
RJ was almost unbeatable in the world in his heydey, cut very short by a bad wrist injury.
@@barbarasimons3762 I don’t forget them. I just grew up in the 90s. I’ve watch the older guys like Marty Smith, Jeff Smith in the 60s, DeCoster. How about Lance Moorwood? Larry Brooks? Gary Jones? Animals on 2-Strokes
Jeremy McGrath on supercross. Carmichael on Motocross. And James Stewart wins the medal for all around craziest bastard who ever walked the planet earth because he was faster than both of them. He was so fast he'd either crash or win.
Bubba on KX125 and RC on CR250R
Great video. I'm going with Stewart as the fastest on a 125 and RC as the fastest on a 250. There were times where Tortelli and Windham could be untouchable, but more often than not, RC was too much for them. I don't think anyone has gone as fast on a 125 as Stewart to this day. Bring the 2003-2004 James Stewart and that Kawi he rode forward in time to 2023, and he would still.smoke anyone's ass today on a 125. Even on today's bikes. If there were a way to do that, I'd bet everything I own on Stewart. 2003 Mxon...RC on that CR250 did something beyond legendary. Only RC could have pulled that off. That's one example of why I give him the nod as the best ever on a 250 two stroke.
😘
Do you not remember what Stewart did on a 250 trying to beat RC on a 450. That was insane. I don’t think a 250 2stroke could be rode harder than that. I felt sorry for the bike…
lol
@@padna7946 what race was that. I'd love to see
@@KJclimbing unadilla 05 I believe. It’s on Gary baileys channel
@@padna7946 I agree, but it wasn't just Carmichael who beat Stewart when Stewart rode the 250 two stroke. He got beat by other riders as well. Look at the dominance of RC when he rode the 250 two stroke outdoors against the 4 strokes. He straight up whooped Everts on a Euro track while on that CR250 with Everts on the 450 four stroke. He even came from a long ways back in the pack. Stewart got straight up whooped by Everts at 2006 mxon even on a 450 four stroke and Everts 34 years old going into retirement. In a full season I'd bet the farm that Carmichael would defeat Stewart at least 8 out of 12 races if they were both on 250 two strokes.
Pastrana, RC and JS we're all so entertaining in the 125 class, incredible riders
👌🏻
On a super cross track it was Jeramy Mcgrath. Motor cross was Ricky.
Previous champions were very very quick too. Rick Johnson, Hannah, Bradshaw, JMB.
THE HURRICANE
MAGOOOOOOOOO
Jeramy huh
Jaramy MkGrath
Stew was sick, like from another planet. What a privilege to see that talent at its best.
Excellent video my man! Thank you!
No problem!🤙🏻
I didn’t understand why James got so much attention especially me coming into the sport when he just left. But looking back at old footage he still looks faster then anyone. Definitely a fan now
Ever watch the Daytona comeback?
Stewart in his prime was the fastest person to ever ride a dirt bike. When he was on there absolutely nobody that could touch him..only problem was he was so fast that maintaining that speed was impossible so him crashing in spectacular fashion was a given that it would happen at some point.
I think if Bob Hannah was in his prime on a modern bike he would be very hard to beat they didn't call him the "Hurricane" for no reason....
Or Broc Glover
@Johnny Rebellion I'd even mention Rick Johnson, before the wrist surgeries.
I liked all those guys no matter what color they rode. Lackey had some good years too.
Was it Bale in the European series in that time frame? I'm old and forget.
In the US:
65s RC
85s John Kitsch
125s James Stewart
250s Rick Johnson (outdoors)
Jeremy McGrath (supercross)
500s Danny Magoo Chandler
Massimo from Italy .Thanks for posting this video! I don't know who was the fastest but in any case they were all great drivers! Long life for two stroke !
Tons of great footage all in one video 🥇🚲 Thanks Wd840
Much appreciated🤙🏻
Lots of super fast guys. But gotta say it's James Stewart.
Stewart on a 125 literally looked like he was from another planet, he looked like a pro rider decided to race C class, the dude was unreal, and hot take, but I honestly think in all of sports history, there have been very few single athletes that have been THAT far above their competition.
Amazing video 👏
Golden Era ❤🏆
Great edit ; and thanks for including Tortelli as I also totally think he deserves to be up there, he almost invented the beast mode lol :)
Tortelli is the only man that could beat RC and Everts in there prime👌🏻
Ricky Carmichael!!!!. How can anyone even say different. Who is called the goat, and has won more races by a landslide on a 250. Ricky Carmichael!! Anyone who says different needs to get their head out of their ass!!!!!
@@wd840mxhighlights KDub did it as well a few times when he was on the RM250 and I think we should give credit to Reynard also on the 125. He went around the OUTSIDE of RC at Unadilla in 1998 and dropped him.
Kudos on this vid by the way, all of your stuff is awesome but this thing is next level! I have watched it like 10 times... 👍
@@chadclemen i appreciate that man, more to come!
I guess Stefan Everts as 10x mx world champ in recent 2stroke history would count for me as up there!
Hard to put him in the same video as Tortelli when it comes to speed. No doubt he’s an all time great.
James. As a kid watching him was like watching the future of the sport. I became better at racing myself just by watching how he raced. For a long time the entire race / season depended on if James crashed or not. Even in seasons where he wasn't in the point race, the ability to just pull the trigger on wins was always a threat.
I think you should have included the 500 class when you think of the massive power , vibration etc too keep these bikes in check. great video video though 👍
ill do a separate 500 vid at some point and much appreciated
Thank You for the entertainment, your Idea of work ,many Regards Craig
much appreciated man, if you have any video suggestions im all ears
Great video 📹 👍 before I even started watching I was hoping Tortelli would be in there. You know your stuff 👌
Tortelli doesn't get enough credit
Seb Tortelli in his prime on the GP circuit was the fastest man on the planet .. he even made Stefan cry
Ricky Carmichael had him covered. Everts even said RC was the fastest guy he ever saw ride a dirtbike
@@rediron44 yes covered in the US but Seb on the GP circuit was something else
diesel di you remember glen helen 1999?tortelli was amazing
He was fast, but he didn't make Jaws drop or grow the the sport jus raw speed certain tracks nothing like js7 he changed how everybody rides a bike had stadiums silent watching in practice I've never seen nothing like it, all u hear is James ripping, and it be other riders on the track.
@@Mxrider276 and he still wasn't as fast as Ricky Carmichael. Ricky beat him every time. Stew only won 3 overalls against RC ever. Even when RC was retired and running a farewell tour, RC beat him for all 6 over alls
Have to go with Jeremy McGrath (M.C.) "The King". 72 wins and 7 championships in AMA Supercross. Fastest 2 stroker ever!!
A late family member of ours " Mike ( too tall ) Bell. Team Yamaha 250 class. R.I.P. buddy. ❤
loved his style
Hannah, Bell Glover, the Good Ole Days
Ricky Carmichael Des Nations RC against Everts best two stroke rider ever,and Everts was on a 450 lol.
You also need to through these riders on 500 outdoors when tracks were rough as crap
Planning on doing a separate 500 video, hard to compare speed when the equipment has evolved so much.
best video on yt!!all legends here
🤙🏻
Very Simple, Ricky Johnson. Carmichael is a close second. I saw Carmichael basically lap second on a KX 60--both have great talent, needless to say
Stewert, Pastrana, Carmichael, and that era never had the competition like Wardy, Johnson, Lechien, Omara, Bailey, Glover, Hannah, Bell, Cooper, and that era! I don't think the Carmichael era would have had the success that they had, if they had to race with Wardy and Johnson. The Wardy era was way tougher! Especially in Supercross! There were a lot of dirty riders back then. The Wardy era laid the blueprint for the Carmichael era! Here's my top 5 in Supercross! Rick Johnson, Jeff Ward, James Stewert, Jeremy Mcgrath, Ricky Carmichael. Outdoors top 5. Stefan Everts, Jeffery Herlings, Bob Hannah, Eric Geboers, James Stewert. I would have loved to see all these riders in their primes race together on identical machinery, and the wettest, muddiest, bumpiest, toughest track in the World. Only to see Bob Hannah come out victorious!
Carmichael.. hands down!
Very cool 😎 💨💨💨
Bubba 125, Tortelli 250.
No one dominated like Hannah in his prime. I was at the Anaheim Supercross one year, and Hannah lapped every rider in the main event!
Saw that in the Houston Astrodome. It was crazy.
Gotta go with JS on a 125, many riders were the fastest for a time but couldn’t maintain the consistency of guys like RC on 250, Travis's comes to mind as incredible rider who was very fast but inconsistent. Windham when he was “on” was the one best riders ever.
Yep Windham’s technique was flawless and what most riders want to ride like
stew was the fastest dude to go brap brap on a 125 without question
McGrath is the KING and the best ever! But Stewart was the fastest to ever ride a motorcycle! And Ricky was close behind Stewart!
The question was about motocross, sorry, McGrath wasn’t shit in Moto
@@lugnutlarry1764 McGrath didn't care about motocross and the 1 year he did he won outdoors .....he is the best ever!!!!
Fastest 125 US riders for me is between Mark Barnett and Jonny O, 250 would be Bob Hannah or Rick Johnson, watched a lot of GPs too and Eric Geboers and JMB were a bit special
Just been thinking how good the 125 US outdoors nationals used to be, that kinda racing has just gone, GPs are a shadow of times gone by too, shame as the 2st is still great to hear too and I miss it
Awesome guys, but how do we compare say Barnett or the O Show to James Stewart.
How would Tomac, Herlings or Villapoto perform on a 2stroke.
James hands down most of the time his lap times were faster then Rc in super cross just untouchable.
...but not motocross
@Jack s. kicking Yeah no one touched JS7
Ricky used to smoke James. You all are nuts lol.
Damn JS7 was getting cranked on the opening Segment 🤯
Really disappointing that stew hasn’t threw a leg over a bike in recent days
All the other riders ride and even sometimes a two stroke.
It was all about winning, or the fear of losing, he really didn't love the riding, doubt he'll ride again
Hope we see him ride again, that would be great.
The nostalgia. I spent my teens watching Carmichael and Stewart and Reed. ESPN 2. Speed channel. 2 strokes. Those were the days
Same🤙🏻
Mike Larocco killed it on the 500cc 2 smoke
I saw Jeff Stanton ride a 125 Honda in the support class at the US Grand Prix at Unadilla. Wfo the entire track. Never saw anything like it since. He was unbelievable that day.
👌🏻
Tim stanton beat kiedrowski and bradshaw?
@@davide5431 At Unadilla that day, way back in 1989, Stanton was there, but riding the 125cc support class, because he had raced the 500cc USGP earlier that year, and riders could only compete in one GP class per season in those days. This Unadilla race would be Stanton’s only pro race ever on a 125-he was trying to prove to DeCoster he would be a worthy pick for the small bike for the des Nations. He went 1-1, beating that year’s top 125 riders Mike Kiedrowski and Damon Bradshaw. Stanton would never need to race a 125 again, though. By the time des Nations rolled around, Johnson was struggling with the wrist, and Stanton got the 250 spot. Per JS - "That GP where I rode the 125 support class (1989) was great because I had never raced 125’s and I beat the guys who were racing and winning the nationals that year. That race was special, whenever I see a picture from the race I save them and print them off. That one was special, they’re all special to me but that one was a little extra."
@@tmmckeancan you describe that race?Stanton is very strong at Unadilla but had litterally dominate?
@@davide5431 It was 34 years ago... so my memory of the details have -passed. That said, the general memory of Stanton on that 125 that day has never left me. It wasn't even close. He dominated the day. We'll never know, but I would bet Stanton would have easily been top three if he raced that 125 in the premier 500 class that day.
Ricky Johnson also Reed took it to RC many times prior, RC went to baker and trained harder and harder .Also indoors MC . Stewart was also proberbly faster but yeah. Its like anything. All years in anything would have to combine for the earlier riders to be joined at their time in history ?
Bob Hurricane 💨🌊Hannah
would love to see what he could do in his prime on a modern 2 stroke
Ron Lechien
I'd of loved to have seen Bubba and Tortelli as teens going all out, now that would be insane
RC,Tortellini,Stewart, Magoo
LOL, James just absolutely LOVED to show the rest of the field that they were simply NOT IN HIS LEAGUE.
69% of people forget Uncle RON... Ronnie Mac #69 rewriting the history books !!!
Tortelli is the only rider who beat both Everts and RC4 in their primes. Besides he won MXoN race 125/500 on 125 bike.
And I would delete Pastrama from the list and add Michael Pichon who numerous times beat on 250 2t Everts who was on 450 4t
Pichon was landlubbers no doubt
I saw him at Muddy Creek Tennessee on a suoermini , his lap times were 2 seconds off the 250 pro main which was the big bike them to put it in perspective , there were some fast guys there that ran supercross and nationals
Stewart was keeping up with Ricky in 05 on a 250 two stroke and Ricky was on a 450 i rest my case
That case doesn't include the other greats.
I seen guys on Cr 80's straight pulling a lot of guys on 250's the rider definitely matters
RC was on 250 2 stroke in 05
@@nialdarragh2716 Incorrect.
Suzuki RMZ 450
Js, rc, on both 125 and 250. Robbie Reynard had killer corner speed and to ride a 125 like did. Pastrana rips as well. I got to ride with him many years ago down at lake sugar tree at a Gary Bailey School. Yogi, ryno, there were sooo many fast guys could go back further than that. Bradshaw, Stanton, the digger, johnny o and bailey. The list goes on and on. Great watch
I wish all these racers would come back for a champions race…someone make it happen
YES
James on a 125 was like he was on a 500 and everyone else was on an 80
Once Again ,well put together, If Im to answer who looked the fastest with effortless bike control
One would have to say Stewart
I dont like to take anything away from past Champions .
But he was off his head with bike attitude, appeared to be with ease
1.Ronnie Mac 2. Jimmy Decotis 3. Carson Brown
Sebastian Tortelli, mickeal Pichon Both beat Stefan Everts when Stefan was at his best but on the AMA side my vote would go to Jeff Emig
Subjective question, but I gotta go with Bob Hannah.
I seen Carmichael at Steel City sfter he had already locked up the 250 title jump on a 125 & lap everyone except 2nd & 3rd place. He was 3 seconds a lap faster than any on a 250 that day
No doubt about it...James bubba Stewart...
For me, the golden era of mx & sx...
125: Bubba no doubt.
250: RC, smoked prime everts with bored out 500cc deep sand track on 03 mxdn. Only two guys with perfect years under belt.
Edit: forgot to add, PASTRANA he did so much for the sport
Stewart on 125's and Carmicharl on 250's
James Stewart, I believe the record books would have looked a little different had they stayed racing 2 strokes only for another 10 or so years.
Jeremy MC Grath Supercross
RC Motocross
Mc is prescrub. Prime Stewart would lap MC on a sx track.
Hands down. James
Juan Pacheco
James Stewart hands down. that man changed the entire game, took racing to a whole nother level... which is why you see riders riding the way they do today. there's no comparison James Stewart was the fastest rider in the world on a two-stroke
Do not forget Pit Beirer , He wins the MXON Heats with a 250/ 2 Sroke Honda !
he was super fast!
Magoo Chandler!
R.I.P.
Let's not forget about Jeff Ward.
125
250 and 500 champion.
The flying freckle.
93/94 Henry lamson Hughes Reynard. Those guys were fast on 125s back then and many more…
I’d say Bubba. RC was fast too & ended up with the most titles but Stew would go that extra few percent, do something incredible, & it would end up checkers or wreckers
Criminal to select anyone other than Bubba..
James Stewart. I believe Ricky and even Chad that they made the switch to four strokes, cause if Stewart were to race the 250 two stroke healthy he would have been hard to beat.
James on a 125 for sure and can't argue with Rickys perfect season above the CR250
I feel like a few of these guys could still red plate the class to this day
I said the word srewart before i watched it. I think my guess was precise carmichael a very close second
Definitely McGrath because he was consistent. James put it all on the line and was a lot of fun to watch!
Robby Marshall top 10’s in the Nationals on a KTM 250 SX in 2013… turned faster lap times than James on the factory Yz450f at Budds Creek. Last full 2 stroke team in AMA competition, 3 riders on identical bikes built in Virginia.
I saw Robbie Raynard run Ricky down and gap him and saw Stefan Roncada probably misspelled do the same to Bubba when they were smoking everyone
Man I miss the 90s. Computers destroyed everything.
JS7 had a flow in his style that changed the sport! He made a 125cc look like a 250cc going big and always pinning it. The fastest man to ever ride supercross/motocross!
RC4 was just as good and his championships don't lie! But heads up with JS7, bubba rode circles around many guys! He could enter a race tomorrow against the new generation and I can see him finishing at worst top 5. He was always awesome to see ride.
Last to first in a couple races with pure determination and another level of skills!
Windham was unlucky to have the goat and Stewart as competitors but he played the long game and built a healthy bank account and a great following.
Jean-Michel Bayle
I had the pleasure to see tortellie race in the uk early 90s he blew everyone away only Steven Everts was anywhere near him .
we cannot forget about Stefan Everts!...
the most smooth rider of all times...
both in 2 and 4 STRKs...
James was by far the faster rider ever 125 or 250. But my favorite rider to this day is pastrana his technique was absolutely flawless and is still what many rider couches teach today-perfect attack position standing more than anyone else. Even James rode flat footed. Ricky was just consistent but wasn’t the fastest and I didn’t like him for taking out pastrana in supercross many times because he couldn’t out-rite beat Travis to save his life. Plus pastranas bikes/ gear was the best looking of that time! Love pastrana broke my heart when he went full time to rally cars.
Pastrana never had a top 20 in 250 motocross. Carmichael two undefeated seasons 48-0. Pastrana faster LOL. Pastrana I think had 3 podiums in 250 SX, never won
Who has a perfect motocross season on a two stroke? I’d say they where the fastest
2005 Rookie James on a 2 strokes VS a consecrated champion RC in a 4 strokes. JS7 THE REAL GOAT
Donny Schmidt was also legendary.
