125cc vs 1000cc (you don't expect this)

When you say "you wont expect this" we know EXACTLY what to expect.

Hey guys, remember to always wind up your 125 by pulling it back repeatedly before use!

When you see anti wheelie bar, you know exactly what to expect.

Many years ago I had an old Yamaha 125 trail bike with a 175cc barrel and head. The engine was ported and modified and the engine produced so much power I had trouble making the clutch bite. Its RPM was off the rev counter and on the road it would easily out drag bikes like the one above. It was stripped of everything to keep the weight down The engine was tuned from a 2 stroke tuning book and lots of work in my shed. :-) Two stroke engines can produce insane amounts of power.

The heaviest thing on that 125cc was probably the rider. LoL

1000cc and the reflexes of an arthritic geriatric on pain killers. A true champion.

1:10 is where the race starts

To all the commenters who are saying the Litre bike must have had a 'staggered green' (which I thought at first as well) Take a close look at 1:21 Pause and do a frame -by -frame using the < > keys up to 1:22 and you can clearly see *2 green lights* and the 125 rider going bye bye! Not only did the litre bike pull a wheelie and clutch in, he revved to the limiter too.

The superbike guy was waiting for an e-mail from his manager to start racing. Smh

Power to weight ratio: "Yes"

When u seen wheelie bars on a 125 cc ya kinda know what to expect.. but the pull away gap was surprising af!

My brother and i put a kx 80 in one of our bmx bikes when i was only ten, he was 16 at the time and already a qualified mechanic, my father amd grandpa owned a fabrication/mechanic shop so we grew up using the tools, this thing was so fast but it was a death trap, we completely snapped the frame in half taking it off jumps, shaving off all that frame weight made it a rocket 🚀 i still have no idea how we never gave my mom a heart attack, we also made a potato gun out of 3" stainless steel exaust tubing and welded it to a muffler as a combustion chamber, spark plug and all, we used to launch flaired stainless slugs about 2 miles into the air, we blew a hole clear through my dads shop 😂😂 this bike just reminded me of the good old days, the bike was so fast we had to make a wheelie bar out of half of a shopping cart. We used to terrorize the neighborhood because it had no muffler

Everyone saying “the 1000cc driver has reaction time of a sloth” Ok but can we appreciate the acceleration of that 125? I mean, it was quick goddamium

I'm showing this to my wife. "See Baby! I told you size doesn't matter!" She isn't buying it....

The 125 got like a two minute head start

Lived in Greece for 9 years a knew Salonika pretty well. Didn’t realize there was a drag strip. Cool! Horses for courses….the 125 is a proper drag machine…tad quicker than my cub 125 …. Maybe I need a new exhaust 🤔🤔😉😉

Lots of odd comments on this video. It's interesting to see what a purpose-built 125 cc bike can do against what looks like a stock 1000 cc bike. But, about the reaction time of the stock bike rider... do people understand what happens if you pop out the clutch on that bike trying to beat a bike with drag bars on the back? The bike might be catapulted to the finish of the race, but the rider will still be at the starting line. Maybe he could have been faster, but he can't just launch like the drag bike. Still it looks to me like, if that's a quarter-mile track (which why wouldn't it be) the 125 did about 10 seconds, which is crazy.

I expected that when you said "you don't expect it"

2 strokes are quick. I had an 84 Honda CR 500r and I drag raced a 97 Kawasaki Ninga in a quarter mile, I smoked him on 3rd gear. No problem.👍😎

When a Bicycle has a wheelie Bar... you best know a drag race will end in tears for you 🫡😂

You are right. I did not expect the street bike to sit there after the green and watch his opponent ride away

I didn't expect the Suzuki rider to have the reactions of a sloth.

Now put a rider on the 1000 that can ride AND that has a reaction time UNDER 3 seconds! The 125 is already halfway the track when the 1000 rider wakes up!

That looks to be a standard handicap (bracket) race. Base on previous runs, the slower vehicle gets a head start so both arrive at the finish line near each other. Pretty common setup for local strips. They're racing against time, not really each other. You could get someone in a mobility scooter crossing the finish line first. How else can you have fun in different classes if there's a limited number of entrants in each class?

Rider of the 1k gives the 125 a half track head start "yOu DiDnT eXpEcT tHiS"

2-stroke is basically a cheat code

I'd be mad, my $8500 1000 got smoked by a bucket of scrap metal😂😂😂

The heaviest thing was the 125cc riders balls.

Typical results for “street” bike vs dedicated “drag” bike (with experienced drag-racing rider). See this at the track a lot with cars, too.

Wow !! I did not expect that !! Amazing.

A four stroke engine will never beat a two stroke engine of the mark .

Just as I expected, something completely unexpected happened.

The reaction time of the 1000cc was so slow at the start, you’d think Biden was riding it!😂😂😂😂

Damn! The little bike didn't do much of a burnout... Then! Big Guy gave him a head start 😅 Never again! Hey Greece 🇬🇷 ! Nice Dragstrip!

by the title i guessed the 125 would be quick, but it was still a lot quicker than i expected - crazy

That looked like a catapult launch from a carrier deck...insane.

The winner got a 3 second head start and the other rider wheelies out of the gate and then misses second gear. Should be pretty hard to lose that one.

i will hands down respect the guy on the 2 stroke , hes knows his business much respect , although other rider is a novice , he didnt see it comming on take off just saying

Imagine going home and telling your mates I got well and truly spanked by a 125 hair dryer. Lol 😆 🤣

Guy on the 1000 can’t shift to save his life and is why he got demolished

i remember that one time i race 150cc 2 stroke bike, lesson learned. Those 2 stroke speed is insane at any cc damn

The burn outs were hilarious that thing took off man!

If it looks fast and sounds fast, it's probably fast! Fun video!

My local drag strip has a “no bicycle parts” written policy

Just for acceleration, no for top speed

What a launch that little thing has. Amazing.

When you wanna go fast but you have to be A1 compliant

"BAD START FOR THE BIGBIKE" "THE STORY OF RABBIT & THE TURTLE "

Everybody knows that the power of a 2 stroke is second only to the power of friendship

I drag raced motorcycles for 21 years and it was surprising how many of these Superbike riders showed up every year at the start of the season decked out in a $2500 leather suit and a $4000 helmet and had a 2 second reaction time! And get their feelings hurt by old man on a 15 year old Harley Davidson running 10 second 1/4 mile times with a .030 reaction time.

You're right, I didn't expect the guy on the 125cc to have 1/3 of the track head start :/

Dude left two seconds ahead of the other guy

Being a 125cc 2 stroke also helped that drag bike develop more power than if it was 4 stroke.

yes you are right , i did not expect the other driver was sleeping at the start , i did not expect a stock bike against a drag bike .

0:44 i love how the green biker majestically sharpens his tires

Perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover 😂😂

Dedicated drag bike/rider vs road course bike/street rider. Impressive launch.

You absolutely should expect it.. Custom drag bike(2stroke btw) optimised only for acceleration will nail any production bike regardless the power

My older brother used to have an RD350. Routinely raced and beat 500's, 750's, 900's. That bike was an absolute beast.

Well, the 125 is a 2 stroke and was purpose built for drag racing with a rider that can drag race. The 1000 is a stock bike with a rider that automatically thinks he is fast because of the bike but ended up falling asleep at the light. I would like to see 2 competent riders on these 2 bikes, but still think the 125 2 ,stroke, will come out ahead

I had to watch it 3 times to make sure I saw that right,frickin awesome

The guy who says he did not study for the Exam and then scores full marks....that's the 125cc Bike guy.

I search video like this for 5 years, and still not found until I watch this. Thanks man for upload it

It’s a bracket race lol 😂 the lights don’t turn green at the same time.

I had an old 1966 single cylinder Yamaha 125cc, hill climbing bike! That thing had so much torque it easily busted chains when it got too much traction on pavement! First gear lasted 0.5 seconds! When you banged second gear the RPM never dropped below red line and I did most of my climbing in 3rd!

We kinda knew it'll happen because it's on RU-vid, right !😁 but the girl most certainly didn't expect that result

1000cc (no modifications) = 220 kg 125cc (modified for racing) = 65 kg.

Wow you're Right. I didn't expect that. Giving one bike a 100 Yard Advantage,.. in a 100yd Race 😂

125cc stayed tucked, 1000cc went all over the place😂

that little thing kicked its ass....amazing..

What I didnt expect was a dude casually dragging back a bicycle that roars... Anyway, Insane!

That is a really fast bicycle.

It's power to weight ratio is off the charts compared to the bigger bike. It's not always about the size.

I was expecting a random cat sprinted from the beginning and won the race.

This is like a trained lightweight mma fighter vs big regular joe

Perfect example of power to weight ratio being super important.

Two stroke can be very fast too, I use to have a Kawasaki 500 cc two stroke nothing cant beat that it so quick when you take off it's crazy

It would be fun to watch if they started at the same time!

The point is not that the 1000cc could've won but the point is that the 125 is actually able to give him a tough time and that is great we should appreciate him and his modification.

I expected that😂😂😂 the 125 was a two stroke. The power band in some of the early to mid 90’s ain’t no joke. Then again if the street bike had the proper rider it would have been a better race.

I see it but I don't believe it. That was amazing.

that take off looks like it's already at 80kmh 🤣

I guess some people need to learn how drag racing works especially when running against someone not in your class... nice run!!

first, there is a big gap in "P to W ratio", 2nd, the homie on big bike shift like a grandma 😂😂😂

certainly did expect that with such a head start. weeeee

The 1000 rider shouldn't even be on a stock 125cc motorcycle. He popped a wheelie, banged it off the rev limiter, didn't have both legs wrapper around the bike, and missed second...CMON MANNNN

Inspiring! I'm going outside now to convert my lawnmower to a two wheeler.

this is pure inspiration. The power of 2 stroke engine....

Until it's a 1 mile drag race 😎

As long as the racing is shown I will stay subscribed when it goes to Tand A I will be done.

The 1000cc wasn't racing, he was just concentrating on getting a good launch (practicing), also throw a wheelie bar on the 1000 and he would have dusted him.

Thats a 2 stroke engine , that adds up a lot

It's the relation weight/power. Furthermore the pilot of the big bike was staring at butterflies before starting and ramped too.

💥 Yes… Didn’t Expect The Guy To Fall Asleep💥

The 125 cc bike was like our old days pulling cars which would go faster by pulling it back more

2 stroke power ♥️

When the wheelbase is short, you already knows who will win

When a bike is specifically setup for running a certain distance no more no less chances are that bike is going to win. A wheelie bar on a bike really makes a huge difference. I watched a Vespa destroy streetbike's on a go cart track 🤣 Those streetbike's probably never got out of first or second gear. I don't know if it was a go cart track but that's what it looked like. Watching a dude on a Vespa taking corners like an F1 car was pretty funny

To be fair the 1000cc driver had a very poor reaction time and he missed a gear shift as well.....
