I wish I had enough money to have been there. I'm 61 years old and my dream would be to come to an event like that. I have enjoyed road racing since I was a child. Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey were my hero's, so to see those old bikes gets my blood pumping. Thanks, Johnny, for sharing and let's see the prince of Portimão put on a show this weekend.
Same here. I'm a little bit younger than you but I grew up watching since around '85 and have the same heroes, Mamola being my favorite rider of all time. I would have LOVED to have been at an event like this.
Good to see one positive from the move to Yamaha. Best of luck for the rest of the SBK season, there were moments in Portimao where it looked like you might be moving toward the podium. I look forward to seeing you back on top.
just to see the riders together is perfecto but can you imagine the customers tho i bet they had the day of their life 😂 thanks for a great vid johnny nice to see ya enjoy it bro, hope the rest of the year goes well man huge fan 👍🏽
With direct injection and turbo/supercharging they actually dont smoke much at all. Modern ecu's can control thinks fast enougj now to run 500bar fuel.pressure on diesels. So yeah they should. Id bet itd be not much more polluting than the air frieght etc world championships could reduce via scheduling logically. So yeah lets do 2strokes pinnicle prototype racing engines free minus capacity. Keep chassis aero rules in check but let Bmw, honda, yamaha, ducatti, ktm, aprillia race to build the best 2 stroke EVER in mans history. Im down 4 that
Dude so cool. It makes me wana dig out the 1965 kawa and get the 2stroke going.i learned that Rea on Joey Dunlops, Mervyn Robo's bikes was relation. Makes SO MUCH sense now. Legendary family up in ireland. Glad alpt of my ancestory and dna is from up north
Sweet episode. What a treat to see Yamaha taking out their diehard customers and to see JR ride on the track with Rossi....on a 2 stroke. Stuff of dreams
What a great idea for Yamaha and the customer care is amazing,, well done 👍,, now Johnny get the bike off yer Da and go to the Irish classic bike festival,, next few years,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland,, thanks for bringing us with you,,👍👍👍
Popped into Crescent the other day, easily the best dealership I've ever set foot in in 17 years of riding! Spent a while chatting with the staff, and such passion for what they do - also heard all about this event and how it was killer 40+ degrees heat!
Funny, at the last video, I wanted to ask if you did a video about this event... now it's here❤ Being a member of YRHC, too, unfortunately we could not participate, as Jerez was too far away...😢 Thank you for this video

@@bluebee7689 I live in the USA and I'm disabled veteran, so I live on a budget. Thanks for the info though.

I ❤ YAMAHA

Just how C-O-O-L was that! I can still hear my Dad singing, Y-A-M-A-H-A when I got my first Yamaha motorcycle back in 1973!
I see Vale and Johnny together, I press like
Lawson's Marlboro YZR500..........YUM!!!!
Glad that old guy vale still good and sound. ❤❤

Awsome event, thanks for bringing some of it for us.
Those gorgeous 500 two stroke beasts , thank you !
two legends together nice, Rea is so humble😉
We need 2 strokes back, they're the least polluting these days, (and the most fun to ride) awesome content as usual

Nice wee insight about the downshifts, every day’s a school day 🤔👏🏻
新しいYAMAHA…RD500R･350Rが…楽しみです‼️🙆♂️👌👍🤗
A day i never imagined Jonathan Rea lining up with Valentino Rossi on YZR 500s yamahas 😊
Looked incredible 👌🏁😎
When the legend meets the legends
Thanks for taking us along 😎
If I was a customer I’d be Buzzing for ever , Being on track with the Moto GP icon Rossi and 6X WSBK Champ Johnny Rea

Old but gold
Awesome JR

So cool!👏
Editor: NO MUSIC OVER BIKES ON THROTTLE
Brilliant time had by all, some machines. Does Lorenzo not take part as ex Yamaha?
Good luck this weekend .
1:40: with some members of the YART… 😊
Did someone count the number of world titles on track????😂😂😂😂 I counted 15 in the first seconds of the video!!!!👍👍👍👍👍 Good memories!!!!
miss the 2 stroke sound... for me it's the best sound. Kusic to my ears
Thanks ❤❤❤
Man i dont undertsand how can be your channel have such a low subs count. Also kuddos to the editing guy. did an incredible job.
2 stroke noises. 🏍️🙌
Who is the rider at 10:00 ???
Who TF is the editor of the bloody blaring soundtrack.. over bike music too .. WTF ! ! !
It's like the start of a joke... 'What did one GOAT say to the other GOAT over dinner'???
👍👍
❤
Yamaha could use that v4 engine in motogp and wsbk.
Im a Yamaha customer and didn't get an invite!
Cameo from 44 teeth In there as well. what a day Jonathan and a pinch me moment to ride the 500gp bikes
Bring two strokes back. Imagine actually having to use a clutch.
I didn't get an invite, been a loyal customer,fan and student of Yamaha...
You should have been on team BLUE,John ..
Wasn’t a Kawasaki then, 😮😊
Rossi riding around the outside of me is no big deal. Me riding around the outside of Rossi is another matter.
Great to see this side of you JR 😁 what you guys do is so unrelatable to us mortals, seeing the human side of you is cool !
Rossi need to be dumped as a "brand ambassador", signing 7yr contract to run Ducatis in GP???.
Why? He wants to win in the current environment. Notice you never see him ride a ducati personally?
He hasn't personally signed the team he owns has.
He hasn't personally signed the team he owns has.
Yamaha hangs onto racers way too long…… time to retire mate, the results aren’t there.
