Schwantz vs. Gardener at Suzuka in 1988.

Good stuff. I love watching 500cc footage, it's so nice to see people using different lines.

Re-watch Catalunya last year in the final stages Rossi vs Stoner for second place...all the different lines you'll ever need to see. Lots of power sliding around corners completely on the edge and...on phenomenal modern machinery with the best riders of the modern era.

you sat down on your rose-tinted specs and broke them didnt you? just enjoy the video dude...
 
Great video
Doesn't seem that long ago, but 21 years is a long time in racing.
People talk about the 800's being pocket bikes. The 500's look even smaller to me now looking at them.

possibly due to the size of the men who rode the 500s, compared with the pre-pubescent boy sized riders we get on the 800s now?
