Yep saw this. RV is such a good sport, and so is Carson. It was pretty fun seeing RV tearing it up on that 500. Retired and not racing, you could see some of the prime RV come out a little. So much fun 👍

Very cool!

 

To see a bike of that era ridden like that is so awesome.  Great video format and competitive comradery!

The WR500 with blue rims looks fine.

Definitely some of the best content out there right now.   Love them giving the beans to the old bikes.       2-smokers forever.

I continue to be so impressed by CB.

One of them - I've heard a few models referred to by that moniker, first was the YZ490 - and later this was called the "Maytag" because its excessive vibration.

It's what Bradshaw raced (1991? obviously highly modded) after Yamaha quit making the YZ490; I believe Dubach also raced it.

I'm beyond impressed that A) the thing didn't grenade into a million pieces, and Cool the frame didn't break! Carson was right-that machine wasn't built for how they rode it. Yet another testament to Yamaha durability.  Seriously I love these videos, and RV took a big swing there, wow! Carson is a 2 stroke freak. Loved it.

Bradshaw on the WR in 1991. Pretty sure Dubach was too.

That was great . There's nothing like the sound of an open 2 stroke .

RV2 stretched the chain on the old girl on his first lap, go look at 5:28.

Yes and all the yz490,s. I saw Bradshaw race the 91 wr at Millville at the 15 min mark that thing really banged loud and lost power. It was 94 and muggy with no breeze. Bradshaw just slept b4 and after the motos.

So cool!

I love Carsten Browns content. I can't get enough of him riding old 2 strokes. 

He just makes it look like so much fun.

It's amazing how a 16 minute video warrants more excitement than a three hour Feld Supercross snooze-fest.

There....I said it.

This series of videos has quickly become one of my favorites, the one with Roczen on the 85 and 125 is really good too! Those Yamaha 490s are beasts and both of them made it look good!

We didn't put it in the video, but he actually broke the chain tensioner on one side when he sent the one table to the gully going up the hill. Luckily, Carson's Dad was on site and he was able to rig up a solution that allowed it to survive another 5 laps of extreme torture.

Saw Carsons dad there.  Need the master there too keep the 2 strokes going when Carson is in action.

Really wish that they would do a more in depth walk around of the bikes at the episodes. 
 

It was fun that RV called out J-law to.

Years ago, McCarty called it "The Maytag" when he was once asked about it.

The wheelie over the berm out of the corner was awesome!
