RV2 will always be a legend. Though I feel like he could've surpassed the GOAT and MC if he'd kept racing. Pure talent and so much drive. Would love to see him come back.
He was only a factory rider for Kawasaki.. surely they couldn’t build him a one of a kind brand new two stroke.. nah he bought his kawi’s off craigslist and had his friend spray it chrome
Man what are you talking about, the bike he rode at the Redbull Straight Rythm was one of the last factory kx250 " SR " ever build. You can find interviews of him talking about it on youtube.
RV rippin' the shit out of that course! Whoa! I kept noticing just how fast he was going through the corners, and after coming out of them, he even did some wheelies. RV, still faster than hell! Would've loved to have seen him on this ride in person. You can't quite appreciate just how fast he rides, till you see him on ground level ... and he's INSANELY fast! Cheers, RV!
Because he was the best in the world a couple of years ago. These guys don't just turn slow overnight. Even a fat old RC would destroy most people for a lap or two these days.
Pierce Barrett I can back this up. Now I wasn’t pro but I was intermediate up until 20 when I stopped riding. Didn’t ride for 6 YEARS. Came back n still had it. No endurance n can only last 2 laps but I still had some speed. Took awhile to get used to boots and ruts again but I was jamming again. Surprised myself. When you train for years and years it sticks with you.
I wonder if RV2 could beat the top guys now? Justin Brayton did it last night at 34. C'mon RV you need a new challenge. Let's see if you can get back to the top.
I think he's getting stoked again, he's actual pushing harder... Nowhere near his limits, but he's getting stoked as he reels in one after another. Watch his video with the chrome kx250 on MXA, it's nowhere near what he's doing here.
Michael Jordan took a break from basketball then came back to affirm his status as the GOAT. RV has the competitive nature of Jordan. I guarantee if he returns that RV surpasses Carmichael.
that was beautiful... so fast, i love me a 2 stroke, and blazing past all those 250 and 450 4 strokes... i know it was the rider not the bike, so mad respect to ryan. but damn 2 strokes are great. i still ride a cr125, 400 x slower than this though
I still have my 1998 YZ125 with a big boar kit when it was stock I would come out of any corner no matter if it was a down hill or a flat corner bumpy or smooth I would get that 125 straight up and down on every gear the front tire would be floating of the ground and the same now more then ever balls to the walls wide open 125 big boar screamer 125
Wow is that really the break in or he cruised around before that? Cause that would be the definition of a hard break in!!! Also is the bike stock? Making me want a 125!!!!
Some more fuel for that sweet, oil and gas fire! Whoever is piloting the 2T makes the 4T a moot point. Miss the days of setting this guy just kill it vs RD... On a 125, they were brutal!
Obviously fast as anyone, but he rides it different. He's way more efficient with the power. Most fast 125 riders are screaming it all the time. He just keeps it the sweet spot
José Francisco Silveira Figueiredo That’s cool. Crazy how Yamaha stopped producing 2-Smoke snowmobiles around that time , I believe quads too-but still produce these oil burning bikes .
Go look up some old video of James Stewart on his old KX125 and you will see just how fast it's possible to pilot a 125 to. JS from 03/04/05 on his old 125 would probably outpace many of the 450 field from today on most tracks. That's honestly how good and fast he was as a kid on ring ding. James Stewart was a phenom on a 125.
Hey Josh I hear what your saying but I got a real strong 125 that when I'm sitting in the bike and I'm going through a corner im feathering the clutch and going into a corner I'm stuffed with balls jammed into the gas tank and you said my ass is on the fender to get a wheelie going for the part that you think I have to be sitting on the fender to get my 125 to ride a wheelie well it isn't that at all not at all. my weight is all the way to the front of the machine stuffing it into the corner and pushing the handle bars down forcing the front tire to start digging in and all my weight isnt on the rear fender at all so the second or should i say split second i swing my bike in and out of that corner i regrip the throttle and i start feathering the clutch wide open and i slingshot the bike in and out of the corner by screaming the 125 with my weight still jammed against the tank and no were is my ass any where near that fender and then the bike starts to hop and slide through the corner with my weight still stuck to the front and what i have now is as I know what i have is positive digging from both tires and what do you see is the front tire starts rising out of the dirt and before I get out of the corner the bike stands straight up and down and I stand up and lean forward and lean my chest into the handle bars and josh thinks my ass is on the fender to get wheelie going well I know how to and when i do need to put my ass on the rear fender. Josh when you see me rippin down a set of sand whoops that is when and most likely the time you will see me rippin and yes Josh then my wheelie will be with all my Weight on the rear fender end of the bike and a front wee stand wide open YZ 125 through the whoops
I have seen villopotto at lake county fair grounds he can ride I would love to have him to ride with my 1998 has the stock springs and shocks from a 2004 yz 250 I would love to ride with him im from I'll and he's out here she he rides at all the big events out here I wounded if Ryan still remembers me from fast boys from ill
He should turn pro one day, I think he'll do well.
thareal13 it was a joke
Yah bro.. looks like he has it in him to win like 3 championships
... it's a joke... no shit....
haha i'm an idiot....
Right haha!
The corner at 6:50 has filed assault charges against RV.
Gotta love the sound of a smooth 2 stroker! Braaaaap
RV2 will always be a legend. Though I feel like he could've surpassed the GOAT and MC if he'd kept racing. Pure talent and so much drive. Would love to see him come back.
Not so much on the drive. That's why he retired young. Burn out.
Perfect time to see RV make a comeback on 125 for outdoor nationals!!!!!
Wow this Young lad has a Bright Future ahead of him in the sport of motocross🙌🏼
JB 73 Films hes a retired pro
Wyatt Fiske,Come On Man I was joking, who doesn’t know who he is haha
He's only about ten times faster on that 125 than me on a 450.
What exactly are you implying?
+BayernMann He's saying 10 times slower than Villopoto is still fast
Gotcha I'm an idiot.
I was thinking the same thing. He shoots outta those turns so fast and then just holds it wide open.
BayernMann stop play ping pong so much and get out on the track more. I mean seriously!
Crazy how the fast ones like RV have to slow down or coast for jumps. Was cool seeing his speed pick up through the laps.
Now that he's on Yamaha he's got brand new 2strokes at his disposal! Bbbrrrrrraaaaaappppppp. Ripping!
his KXs were pretty mint
Brand new 2006 two strokes yeah :p
Haha beat me to it. Brand new components maybe.... New bikes, not at all
He was only a factory rider for Kawasaki.. surely they couldn’t build him a one of a kind brand new two stroke.. nah he bought his kawi’s off craigslist and had his friend spray it chrome
Man what are you talking about, the bike he rode at the Redbull Straight Rythm was one of the last factory kx250 " SR " ever build. You can find interviews of him talking about it on youtube.
Need that fuzzy thing for the go Pro. Too windy!!
Love how he chose a line and stuck with it lap after lap. Real shit man.
RV rippin' the shit out of that course! Whoa! I kept noticing just how fast he was going through the corners, and after coming out of them, he even did some wheelies. RV, still faster than hell! Would've loved to have seen him on this ride in person. You can't quite appreciate just how fast he rides, till you see him on ground level ... and he's INSANELY fast! Cheers, RV!
Vet track lap record for sure
Hell yeah man, how cool would it be to be grinding out some laps and all of a sudden one of the best ever to race a dirt bike blasts past you!
Amazing corner speed!
Lean angle at 7:16 holy shit
the MXer's version of "dragging a knee". BEAST MOD
that was crazy
I thought he was gonna go down at 6:50 crazy
Man I miss 2 strokes n villapodium wish he was still racing
and this man has RETIRED. That means he is AT LEAST 65 YEARS OLD NOW. WHAT A BADASS
Jebus! You man handled the shit out of that 125! Love it!
Too cool! RV making the 125 SING!
That might be the fastest a 125's ever gone since bubba was smashin 250f's on the kx
It’s nice watching the king
That bike sounds so good
Still shredding as usual
Absolutely not the best guy for the break in of a new bike... lol :) Poor bike!
I like how he is passing every one on the 125 he is fast
Moto jay He's passing everyone cause he's on the novice track lmao
Pala vet track*
2-smoker for the win
Because he was the best in the world a couple of years ago. These guys don't just turn slow overnight. Even a fat old RC would destroy most people for a lap or two these days.
Pierce Barrett I can back this up. Now I wasn’t pro but I was intermediate up until 20 when I stopped riding. Didn’t ride for 6 YEARS. Came back n still had it. No endurance n can only last 2 laps but I still had some speed. Took awhile to get used to boots and ruts again but I was jamming again. Surprised myself. When you train for years and years it sticks with you.
When he takes a low tight line and gets back on the pipe its sickkkkkkkkk Guru style
wonder what modifcations this has had? looks sweet!!!
I want to see him line it up at the washougal 125 dream race
#259 was one of the best if not the best on a 125.
Erik 567 the best ever on a 125
Yes JS on a 125 was something else. Definitely the best ring ding rider I've ever seen.
Hell ya man kid was untouch able at onely 16 years old Travis pastramy was pretty sick too!!
I'm going to say darryn Durham is one of the best I've seen on a 125
But #259 is hiding under a rock and not letting anyone know if he's alive
I bet his mechanic never has to change break pads...🤔
Euh.. quite the contrary... the faster you are, the harder you get on the brakes...
Wide000 oh! Sounds like he never gets off the gas. 😊
The only thing to make this any better would be his real time commentary in his helmet. I’d love to hear what he’s thinking while riding.
I wonder if RV2 could beat the top guys now? Justin Brayton did it last night at 34. C'mon RV you need a new challenge. Let's see if you can get back to the top.
If he had the desire. He is wealthy and living the easy life now.
I think he's getting stoked again, he's actual pushing harder... Nowhere near his limits, but he's getting stoked as he reels in one after another. Watch his video with the chrome kx250 on MXA, it's nowhere near what he's doing here.
Michael Jordan took a break from basketball then came back to affirm his status as the GOAT. RV has the competitive nature of Jordan. I guarantee if he returns that RV surpasses Carmichael.
No interview about his thoughts regarding riding a 125 ?.. No interview ???
Fastest motocross riders ever were RV2 in 2007 and ET3 in 2015. ET3 was on another level before his shoulder injuries.
I like this!! Less is more. raw video
that was beautiful... so fast, i love me a 2 stroke, and blazing past all those 250 and 450 4 strokes... i know it was the rider not the bike, so mad respect to ryan. but damn 2 strokes are great. i still ride a cr125, 400 x slower than this though
Always a fun bike to ride
When is this kid turning pro?
Oml 😑. Just search Ryan Villopoto on Google...
its clearly a joke
Itz Gavin it was a joke
With Webb & Barcia both out it only makes sense to ask RV to ride the factory machine.
He hits those inside lines of the turns faster than I hit the outside xD
As the Craigslist ad says. “ Like new only 2 hours on bike, never raced and never dropped. Just have too many toys”
he should do a 125 All Stars race this year maybe Washougal or even the whole series
This video is illegal in 45 states.
Yes, because of the 2 stroke. Oh how I miss that sound.
On the pipe. RPM sweet spot. No rev limiter noise.👍
Massachusetts any dirt bike is just about illegal lol
I still have my 1998 YZ125 with a big boar kit when it was stock I would come out of any corner no matter if it was a down hill or a flat corner bumpy or smooth I would get that 125 straight up and down on every gear the front tire would be floating of the ground and the same now more then ever balls to the walls wide open 125 big boar screamer 125
Christopher Wagner try sitting on the seat and not the rear fender.
Makes me want to buy another 124!!!
That's not a break in..... That's kicking a 125 in the junk. Over and over. Would love to see you and JS7 line up on 125's!
RV would woop 259
James Cox Agreed
That's exactly where 125 should always be. He's not caning it he's just on the pipe perfectly
RV for 125 dream race series this summer
I have got arm pump just watching this. OUCH!! (Shake it out, shake it out. Get the blood flowing)
If I turn it to half speed it kinda looks like me😂
Justin F if i turn it to 0.25 speed it would look like somebody passing me
Go RV. Bet he felt good blasting those spodes away 😂
Wow is that really the break in or he cruised around before that? Cause that would be the definition of a hard break in!!! Also is the bike stock? Making me want a 125!!!!
The Savages if you can't ride it pinned, it's dangerous. 4 stroke blip over jumps is not there in this thing. Go to a Yamaha demo day and ride one
Love it!
is he dropping clutch in all his corners??...
seeing ryan on a local track like that would be like seeing LeBron playing a pick up game at the local ymca HAHA.
My god how good does he make that bike sound ….
what gear was he in? lightspeed? 😮
You would be unstoppable on a 450
is it slightly sped up?
This is bad ass
125 dream race maybe or 2 stroke Nationals I want to see him on the 2018 TM 125
Fuckiing sweet, Making that thing scream 👌
Some more fuel for that sweet, oil and gas fire! Whoever is piloting the 2T makes the 4T a moot point.
Miss the days of setting this guy just kill it vs RD... On a 125, they were brutal!
That 4 stroke BLOKE was on his ASS
Damn! Dudes fast as hell!! He could probably get on a 65 and run circles around me on my 250 😂
So sweet. 👌
This video got me playing mx vs atv with a helmet on
Obviously fast as anyone, but he rides it different. He's way more efficient with the power. Most fast 125 riders are screaming it all the time. He just keeps it the sweet spot
1:16 almost murdered that kid 😁
thats what i was thinking, why are they on the track together
Still dont understand why he retired from pro racing. His still damn fast
Nice easy vet track.all table tops
man, I really miss my Rm125...
So awesome Yamaha brought back two smokers. I have to get one
He needs no brakes. Awesome rider
Dang I miss 125 2 strokes!
Class 👌👌
Riding it like a 4 stroke pipe silencer bigger main and turn throttle simple
Once it got it boiling it was fun to watch!
thought he was a kawi guy??
Is like to see an edit on the main track no go pro.
Craigslist ad: For sale - new yz125 only 7 minutes of time by a retired vet rider, gently broken in. Best offer.
Why not he's KX250, the one he used at Straight RHYTHM
elcincero321 he rides Yamaha know
elcincero321 he isn't sponsored by Kawi anymore. He's sponsored by Yamaha. You won't see him on anything green anytime soon.
Why not rippin a Kaw ?!?
JDRTRM JDRTRM they still produce yz ...kx stopped in 07
José Francisco Silveira Figueiredo That’s cool. Crazy how Yamaha stopped producing 2-Smoke snowmobiles around that time , I believe quads too-but still produce these oil burning bikes .
JDRTRM JDRTRM ktm does have direct fuel injection 4 2strokes, yamaha not yet , they should change , quads they are 4 strokes all of them I guess
Him and KAWI are over! He's with Yamaha and it looks like they're supporting what he's doing, *KAWI was blackballing him with little support.*
Aint1S tks 4 the news 👊
He showed that vet track up
amazing dude (y)
Damn he is so fast.
crazy how much more he shifts and rides in the power as opposed to a lot of these 125 "rippers" that just ring the tits off them to sound cool.
Not sure if its possible to go any faster than this on a 125.
th-cam.com/video/99HRU7At8QA/w-d-xo.html
Luis Marques that was pretty bad ass
Go look up some old video of James Stewart on his old KX125 and you will see just how fast it's possible to pilot a 125 to.

Thats a 150cc Dumbfuck not 125cc learn your bikes!
thomas pileski what are you talking about Yamaha does not make 150cc two strokes
I have yz 125 too!
😍😍😍
4 time champ
Yup that bike is run in now. Haha nobody rips like an angry villa p
Inside lines!
Sand bagging the vet track😂😂
Think the 85s on the main would give him a run for his money on that 125
breaking it in at 15,000 RPM
Now we finally see the real reason.
StewArt was the best one ever to ride the 125
It doesn’t matter what he rides I think he could win in a shopping cart
RV could probably pass 450s on this track on an 85.
Fast rider
Hey Josh I hear what your saying but I got a real strong 125 that when I'm sitting in the bike and I'm going through a corner im feathering the clutch and going into a corner I'm stuffed with balls jammed into the gas tank and you said my ass is on the fender to get a wheelie going for the part that you think I have to be sitting on the fender to get my 125 to ride a wheelie well it isn't that at all not at all. my weight is all the way to the front of the machine stuffing it into the corner and pushing the handle bars down forcing the front tire to start digging in and all my weight isnt on the rear fender at all so the second or should i say split second i swing my bike in and out of that corner i regrip the throttle and i start feathering the clutch wide open and i slingshot the bike in and out of the corner by screaming the 125 with my weight still jammed against the tank and no were is my ass any where near that fender and then the bike starts to hop and slide through the corner with my weight still stuck to the front and what i have now is as I know what i have is positive digging from both tires and what do you see is the front tire starts rising out of the dirt and before I get out of the corner the bike stands straight up and down and I stand up and lean forward and lean my chest into the handle bars and josh thinks my ass is on the fender to get wheelie going well I know how to and when i do need to put my ass on the rear fender.
