Hear the ping
See the smoke
You just got passed by a 2 stroke
The fact that this has 69 likes
@@timsussenbach5376 the fact that its not
@@joakimhyer6993 you're just like a 4 stroke... slow
@@tulvideo not quick its not slow but its heavy its like a ferrari engine in a tracktor that heavy as twice from normal tracktor
That was pretty gay
“Doesn’t feel as stable as my Kawi” proceeds to send it
BRAHHHHHPPPPPPPPPP BRAHHPP
sounds like when u and ur friends say it’s a chill ride day and 5 mins later proceeded to do wheelies
FULL SENDS ONLY
Who else here has a 2-stroke
#2-strokes are the best and sound good
idk about the sound tbh, I want to go deaf after riding a 2stroke, it sounds like an lawnmower.
Still I have a yz125 my self and I wouldn't trade it with a 250 4 stroke, I just think 4 strokes sound better
If it dont smoke it broke
I have a 2005 yz125 a 2008 yz250f and new crf450r and they are all great bikes
I got a yz125 with the 144 big bore
I own a 98 cr250. Shes a screamer
I love how when you first started riding it you seemed beginner and out of nowhere you just start shredding it
Lol right dude is ripping so hard 😂
When that thing hits the powerband😍
ryan cin fr
no such thing as a powerband...... thats why its called a "band" ..thats the entire power graph of any gear gear its in ....you mean when it hits peak power in any gear? ..then yes its sexy ....i hate when people say that word so much ...it makes me not want to save any pussy for the rest of you
i mean no such thing as the way you are saying it *******************
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS " omg i love when its at high rpm and sounds cool " ...
"Powerband" sounds a lot better than band because 2 Stroke riders know that once it hits that band its where all the power comes in thats why people name it the "Powerband" Personally in my opinion it sounds a lot better than just "band"
When i first rode a 2 stroke, it was a 125. I almost flew of the bike on the straight lane
damn dude save some pussy for the rest of us
CrazyShaq
Had no idea what a power ban was until I got one in college....miss it
I have ridden some 50cc mopeds that have like 7hp and do over 50mph.. but I once tried my friend's Husqvarna WR 125 with a 144cc cylinder and some other mods.. that thing was crazy!
Yamaha’s have always been good across the board, not the best at any one thing, but good at everything. And that legendary Yamaha reliability
did u start 1st gear wide sitting on the rear end dumping the clutch?
*2 stroke logic:* “You ain’t riding right if the engine isn’t about to explode”
“Bro don’t engine break it’s bad for the engine!”
that's because when you are on the gas it's lubricating with the oil in the gas but when ur off the gas it's not getting nearly as much lubrication..
Bad for the engine? Lmao.... You need to re study your're bikes.
Cardio94 I’m quoting other people
Obviously Cardio 94 needs to re-study reading correctly....
hahaha thats funny. engine braking is not bad. actually its advisable, especially if you are in high speed. engine braking can only damage the clutch lining, but it doesn't matter. because changing clutch lining is part of the motorcycle maintenance.
Either you have a weird way of making things look easy or you know every inch of that track by heart. That was amazing to watch.
I dunno🤷♂️ every turn he made seemed a lil slow. Obviously not the slowest one on the track 🤣 but why go wide and let off the gas every turn? Why not pull the clutch in down shift and spin thru the bitch? I always come up on a turn faster than I'm going to actually stay while going thru it and hit the back break just enough to make my rear end begin to slide and once it starts to slide I open that clutch and spin thru using however much gas it takes to keep a steady spin and not lay it down or over shoot the turn. It's something to practice but wayyyy funner than just taking the outside in fuckin 3rd or 4th
Yeah a smooth rider for sure.
This is what I call mixing gas n hauling ass, jeez ur fast
Burning oil and ripping soil.
Shifting gears and causing tears.
(kuz of the wind)
Mixing gas and slapping ass
Twisting the knob nd going fast
Ride so sick and sucking
2strokers are something else. Can't wait to get my new yz 125 out now well its new to me a 2003.
I picked up an 01! Having carb issues, getting it dialed in but couldn’t be happier!
MOTO MACHINEZ UK maico 700cc two stroke. When u literally have to try to tell the bike 'shhshh calm down 7002t don't kill me now'
MOTO MACHINEZ UK and no I would never buy a 7002t . But the yz345 big bore kits is looking nice. Instead of rebuilding a cr or kx500
2003 is the worst year for these bikes I just a 2004 and it’s incredible
DeAndre Clarke my son has an 03. I have a 2000 , had another 00 and a 93 and I can say the 03 is the best one of them. I prefer the 5 speed over the 6.
I love how u opened up the bike, most you tubers riding a 2 stroke won’t hit powerband
Best dirt bike ever made....
That says it all.
I totally agree with you mate.
YZ125 is a true legend
Cr 125 is just as beast.
@@cleancutlawnservice1 yeah kinda expensive and hard to find tho
@@cheese6339 my friend bought one for 1200$ no needed to fix anyting
You are shredding on that bike man
Alex Barker thanks man I felt great on it
i would like to him on a yz 250 would be interesting i dont think he will go much faster but would be less wear on the bike cause he would be at lower rpm
Stress? What stress I ride dirt bikes
I wonder how a good running banshe would hold up next to him
Banshee is getting cooked on a track . Unless pilot is professional.
I subbed bc you can ride.
These are the kind of video that I like, this angle is amazing! And yeah! No music, just the engine sound!
I’m 5.1ft will I be big enough on that
@@mrjacksooon4934 how much do you weigh?

@@JoaoSilva-gs5jb thx so would I fit it
That was a fun ride Zach !! Thanks for taking us along !!
I'm 28 years old and 200lbs this makes me want to go buy a 125 asap brings back my early teenage years hearing g that beast ripping
Ohhh that sound is music for my ears! Nice video!
Never get tired of that sound and smell❤ don't fix what ain't broke , great vid!
Had a 76 YZ125 and LOVED that bike! DAMN I miss riding from watching your video! Thank you for posting
I REALY like your Yz 125 it's mad
I've owned quite a few 2 strokes over the years and my 2017 YZ125 is by far my favorite of all of them. In fact, I was hard-core Honda for many years and this bike changed me.
Fantastic video Zach. Your best video yet. I'm going to give you an A+. Video shows a good rider on a great bike, going pretty darn quick. And to top it off your commentating while doing a series of jumps. Golden.
What an awesome and fun video to watch!!!! Gets me excited to get my VERY FIRST YZ125 in the near future!
That track looks awesome, looks like it flows really well.
4:00 now that’s music to my ears
Man oh man thanks for the ride !!!! Keeping it on the pipe like that is the way to ride a 2 stroke and you did a excellent job there my friend.
Awesome shredding, excellent content. Always fun to watch guys as fast as you!
I totally agree with you. YZ125 is a beast. My dad had a 1974 YZ 125 back in the day, and it ripped just like that one. Suspension sucked, but it would chew up other bikes like crazy. The sound is not much different from my dad's old YZ125.
Raced two KX 125s and a CR back in the day.... this thing's DEFINITELY a gun fighter!!!
You put a massive smile on my face, thank you.
this video is gold, I'm mostly a trail rider but anytime I ride MX it's at Murphy's, and was hoping to get this bike next season for both enduro and MX. Seeing someone ride it on this track is a great reference
My 2000 yamaha yz125 was the same, great suspension, great power, amd amazing reliability if maintenance is kept up. I eventually got a 1999 YZ250. Came with a few good mods. Made it into a trail racing bike, loved that thing. Any fault you had with the yz125, it was solved with the yz250 LOL!
Looking good and comfortable on it. Lots of improvement bro. Word of the wise- when you come into those big sweeping corners do your down shifting and fanning of the clutch at the very beginning of the turn. Carries your momentum much better. Just takes some practice. Keep it up!
woaw, i have subscribed since idk how long, and you were ok at the start on track(beginner) and you're now so much better, its nice to see u have made so much progress man! keep it up
I love your video buddy! Nothing better then a 2 stroke!!! Been riding my whole life!
dang bro ur looking good definitely carrying more speed.
Damn i wish this track was closer looks like a blast
Haven’t been on bikes for 8 year and watching these videos really makes me want to start again
I haven’t been on a dirt bike since I left California in 96...bought a 2013 Yamaha 125 today pick it up at noon tomorrow!!!!
Because of this rider and his great videos
Wow man you are improving, when I first started watching you you rode like a goddamn goober and have come a long way. Congrats
Never seen such soft landings.. 🤤
They used to make 185's and those were the best cause no matter if it was a 2 or 4 stroke it had enough power while also being really light so you could throw it around easily.
Absolutely in love with my yz125, thing is a absolute blast
Hmm, I'm new to the channel, and I think I'll definitely subscribe! Love the video and especially the bike😁 I have a 2003 Yamaha YZ125, and I absolutely love the thing.
Back in the 1990's and early 2000's, the top 125 riders had faster lap times than the top riders in the 250 class. . . .
Watching Ricky Carmichael destroy the entire field in Hangtown back in 1998 on his KX125 was a sight to see. At the end of the day, his lap time was an average of over 1 second faster per lap than the top 250 class rider. These were the early years of the 4-stroke 400's entry into the 250 class. A novelty at the time. Still couldn't touch the 2-stroke 125 class.
Clicked on the video thinking, "Oh yeah, let's see the bike". (of course, not thinking of the rider because these videos always fail to impress) "I'll watch someone else "putt" around on it.
But then, "BAMMM!!" Right after the first turn:😃👍 I was like, "Here we go. Someone who can send it!" Yes!!
unbelievably quick earned a sub Jesus that was impressive
Just goes to show a bike that handles with not the most power but a very skilled rider can be super quick. Awesome video dude. Really good example.
awesome video earned a sub :)
Clorox Bleach bro what even are you??? I see you literally everywhere! Do you ride dirtbikes???
KX Rider969 ikr lol he's like in every yt videos 😂
Clorox Bleach my 5 year old cousin was watching a legit video and looking through the comments and I saw you in the comment section
Clorox Bleach glad I’m not the only one
I just bought and restored a YZ125 2003.
Let my boss who talked mad shit about two strokes being baby bikes, ride it.
Should have seen the intimidation on in his face, popping a 15 foot long wheelie trying to ease into first.
Awesome man! I own a 1998 cr250. Shes a screamer
Me not so much. I’ve got an 07 yz250f. While my brother has a 1999 rm250
Lol mate I had my brother say the same then gave him a go and he literally jumped off the back of it when it hit the power band he was white as a ghost
@@ds2985 Update. Blew the top end on it going about 80 trying to commute from trail riding to inner city. Probably two miles, this was back in August. (Drained oil the ghetto way and didn't maintain the way it should have.) Rebuilding top end right now, updates to follow.
Tf my yz125 can’t wheelie like that
Bro I just bought an 02 and I’ve never ridden dirt bikes or motorcycles others than literally in first or second gear so this is kind of my first bike and I been riding it around fell a couple times but I felt I had it under control watching you just showed me I don’t know sh*t about riding dirt bikes your amazing 🤩
Awesome soundtrack! Like a screamin’ banshee! Music to my ears!
Hey look, it's Randy 0:23
Bobandy!
Who's Randy?
I was scared he was gonna fall off the edge when he was taking on those turns
Can’t wait to see you on the new 2022 Yz125 that thing is gonna be sick!
Awesome video! And you killed it at the track bro
Great laps Zach. Much, much improvement from first time. Remember, with a good berm you can drag the handlebar in the turn's if you want as long as you keep throttle on. It will compress your gut's. Exhale going in and relax. You can breath again as you come out of the turn. You have improved lot's . Great job. If you ever get a chance, ride a CR500, but if you do you need to get very serious before you throw a leg over the CR 500. Not a KX. The KX can't hang with the CR. If you haven't riden one yet I can tell you straight up that it will blow your mind. Be safe and ALWAY'S wear all of your protective gear.
Awesome 😱.YAMAHA moving forward ❤👍🇲🇾
Sharkdon_292 Sharkdon_292 big facts... #TeamYamaha
Roundin' 'em all up. Love it.
Nice video quality. 47 now haven't rode in over 20 years since my daughter was born. Had a KDX200 in white. Your video may have lit a spark to get back into riding again. Looks fun.
2 stroke always the best🤙
Came here for my daily degayerization
What a word bro. Love it!!!
@ArmageddonRacing it isnt an actual english word. What he means is he comes here to feel like the gay in him is getting washed away by how badass his riding is it makes him feel like a man
@ArmageddonRacing don't feel bad. I'm English and I almost googled it 😂. But then read the comments. But yes, what a word!!!!
Hell yeah! Fun to watch!👊
Had a YZ 250 in early ‘80s, was a great bike, suspension and power!!
Damn u ride hard
Great video! Makes me so want one but I'm 57 :(
Looks like such a great track holy shit!! Would love to ride there one day! Nice riding man
0:06 YOU KNOW HE BOUT SEND IT! 100% GOGGLES. Nice homie
i live in Australia and there are no tracks like that where i am, might move to America just to get some of that track, looks so well made. also, you were FLYING, looked like you barely ever hit the brakes.
AdamMTBMX mate come down to Wollongong
im on the Sunny Coast, but that would be a good holiday.
Go to louee station
HawkeyeOfTheSky America baby. Land of the free home of the brave.
HawkeyeOfTheSky Nice Profile Pic 👍
Damn bro you can ride pretty good. Let's ride some day. Aye we you waiting last second to stand up during jumps?
Mod Squad I usually seat bounce
what is seat bouncing
i think its when the force of the jump pushes you up and bounces you off your seat. correct me if im wrong.
Seat bouncing is when you compress your shocks and then right before you go off the jump you stand up and for a smaller bike it makes it easy to clear almost any jumps
Seat bounce
I love it when youtube rerecommends videos that i liked around 4 years ago
I had an 02 yz 125 for 6 years. Loved it so much. Only ever had one issue with the reed valve.
3:22 “bogs down”
i have a 2009 YZ125 and its by far the best two stroke ive ever ridden
Watched a lot of your videos im a big fan, you look the most comfortable on this YZ125 maybe its noise etc but youre flying!
Wow I thought when you said you had not ridden in a while you would be rusty, my word that's some pretty good riding and I can't argue with this 2 Stroke being one of the best! Nice Vid!
I don’t think a 125 would be good in the woods like trail riding, unless you did some engine work, because as you can see, he’s either wide open or he’s not, but anywhere else, the bike is goooolden
I just bought my first dirt bike this summer and it was a 125 yz 2005. It is like you thought. You can't ride in "trail riding" or in the woods. When you ride it, it's on or off. You have to ride it in some place where you can open it up.
It’s all in how it’s geared really. But 4t bikes are topically very torquey and on tight technical trails it’s harder to ride them as they’re heavier and that torque can be too much at times when trying to feather the throttle and clutch.
MkvJosh yeah unless it’s geared different. I’m just talking about stock out of the box bikes
BassinBraden Yamaha literally makes a yz125x geared for trails
Right out of the box
Hi zach
Can you do a hot to seatbounce?
mx.810 +1
The first of your videos I watched was your first ride on Lucas Track at 3p's. Then I watched this one and had to check and see if it was the same rider. Much you have learned my young apprentice.
Love the commentary while riding
Whats the top speed on thoes? And hell yeah sounds great!!! 👍👌
William R. With stock sprockets, about 65 to 70 mph.
Yamahas! Best dirt bikes to outrun the cops with. Yz450f to be particular 😎
nah nah nah that is a 4 stroke
Absolutely class, love it. Dip that clutch and wring it’s kneck out! That’s what there built for 👊👌
Had my first yam at 12 in 96
Have loved them ever since!
I had mine at 13 .....1985 lol
I miss the feeling of being WFO all the time on my 125. My 250 can only be completely released on the straights and if screw up it bites you
Matthew Weisenburger 😂 try a 450
toadamine 450s are irrelevant
wfo? dont you mean wot? (wide open throttle?) or am i wrong? i dont really know..
wotever99ninynine Hamilton same thing wfo (wide fucking open)
haha nice, gotchya
"This suspension isnt as good as mine." Brrrrbrrrrrrbrrrrrrrr! Lol
Man I miss my yz 125 :( I loved the sound and smell of the exhaust. First bike I ever had.
Sounds so clean
I have a ttr 125, it rides perfect. But I do have a rm85 big wheel which is a bit bigger but I mainly ride trails in the bush. Which one should I ride? Btw I am 158 cm tall. I would appreciate it if you could help. Thanks!
Sc00terbros 101 definitely the 85 it will make you a better rider in the long run and damn they sound good
The 85 is pretty much all around better than a ttr 125
ttr is better in the woods period ive had both
Have a look at the 150xc-w Ktm
Is a ttr 125 4 stroke?
Yes
Yes
Yes
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Daamn youre an amazing driver 😍😍
Cant wait to get mine
“Rider”
the sound of two stroke
thanks a lot man
How much did you get your for? And is this your first bike?
Jelicate this is my friends bike and he payed $1900
U are ripping I'm on about moving up to a 125 from a 85 this summer I was thinking getting a yz or tc which one ?
MX TV yz for sure
Yz hands down a lot cheaper too and the yz has the best rating that's why that bikes still around to this day
jake hanus thanks pal
MX TV just wondering you getting a new one or used and if used what year?
get TC, way faster
This video was incredibly satisfying
I just got a 2006 two stroke yz that's why I'm looking at this video ,nice ride
2 strokes sound like the fart you try to let out silently in class, but it makes a sound
I know why yz125 is best dirt bike
Because its yamaha
EELU BOO actually yamaha doesn’t make the best dirtbikes 😂
Cesar flores depends on what ur going for for racing KTM for reliability prolly honda but tbh it comes down to personal preferance but i mean a brand without a power valve isn’t near the best and yamaha doesn’t make all the bikes like KTM does cuz u have KTM 50 JR, KTM 50, KTM 65, KTM 85, KTM 85 with big wheels, KTM 125, KTM 150, KTM 250 2 stroke, KTM 250SX-F, KTM 350, KTM 450 plus a full set of enduro bikes and all top quality race ready with electric start on almost all and an electric KTM 50E
Cesar flores no problem man!
Outstanding ride!!!
did you shift one time!!! lol kinda making me mad
