The 1999 KX250 Pro Circuit Splitfire build was displayed at the Legends and Heroes tour at Anaheim 2 Supercross. I also snuck it over to the Pro Circuit race tent so the legend himself, Mitch Payton, Pro Circuit Racing Team Owner, could check it out. On the way it caught the eyes of the Factory Kawasaki team as well. Come along for the ride and see how it went!
Thank you very much to Frank and the Legends and Heroes tour team for having me apart of the show. Very humbled to be a small part of it. Make sure to check out one of the best displays in the pits of Supercross and Motocross

@krs5259 5 месяцев назад

crazy how the manufacturers still can't see everyone prefers 2 strokes and MX/SX was far better back then

@ZULUXXXMAUI 5 месяцев назад

I don’t agree with that statement. Don’t get me wrong, I love riding my 2 smoker, but I the average Joe would prefer a 4 stroke.

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

There is certainly a large part of the sport where people only have the 2 strokes still. It'd be cool to have a class race again for sure

@zook_291 5 месяцев назад

Untrue, I’d rather ride my 250F because of all of the luxuries that comes with it, but I like riding my 125 once in awhile because of how light and how it makes me work harder to keep up. I also love how I can be careless with the throttle and keep it wound all the time.

@krs5259 5 месяцев назад

yep its easier to ride a 4 stroke so i undertstand why @@zook_291

@Nahtanoj65 5 месяцев назад

I love that you encouraged the young lad when he was moved after twisting the throttle. Moments like that are what keep the dream going! Super cool experience, Mitch seems like a rad guy

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

Funny that happened but I ended up chatting with him and his father after that for like 10 minutes. It was very cool!

@brandongambrell 5 месяцев назад

@MXstar189 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome having Mitch poke around your build..... Had to be a proud poppa moment for you. I have talked with Mitch a handful of times over the years, enough to know that he truly is a fellow gearhead. Great job on the build. 👍

@someoneyouknow96 5 месяцев назад

And that is exactly why I like the “vintage” races. Those late late 80s through early 2000s bikes were the best. I prefer the original bikes vs team bikes but they are just the best. 89-90 CRs, 89-92 RMs, 91-92 YZs, 90-92 KXs, 92-96 CRs, 03-07 RMs, 03+ CRs.

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

Sooo many epic models during those years. I could just drool over them all day. Wish they'd bring some more radness to today's bikes like they did back then with the designs, etc

@someoneyouknow96 5 месяцев назад

@@GregHitchko dude! 100%. The best styled bike right now IMO is the dam suzuki. The body lines of that bike are absolutely amazing. Don't get me wrong there are lots of nice bikes but stylistically they are with the zukes.

@dcouture79 5 месяцев назад

Great video and what an event! Glad you made it out there. Cheers to you encouraging that little kid 🤘😎

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

It was super cool seeing all of the younger kids check it out! I think their fathers had some great influence haha

@RobertJones-ix2hu 5 месяцев назад

Not gona lie, the green on your bike is a lot better green than the #70 & probably my favorite that I saw. The RC Suzuki & MC Honda looked rad too

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

I used the fluo green for my bike where the 125 used oem color plastics it looks like. Thanks dude!

@onlygazza 5 месяцев назад

That was just the best mx time, two strokes were harder to ride fast and the sound was blissssss

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

We all just want to bring back the sound right?! I still remember so distinctly how strange it was to hear all four strokes on the gate in 06 for supercross. Took a little to get used to!

@@GregHitchko that's so cool, you rock Greg!

@mmazz30 5 месяцев назад

Bike looks great Greg. So good to see the old 2 bangers together. There should be a feature class of pre 2k 250 2 strokes at every SMX round.

@GregHitchko 5 месяцев назад

That's what I'm saying!! How rad would that be, just do like a 5 minute intermission 2 stroke race. Or bring it back at the nationals like they did with the 125 dream races. I caught one of those at Washougal in 2019 I think it was and RV raced it. Super cool!

@mmazz30 5 месяцев назад

@GregHitchko I'm not up to speed with what/how many classes are at each SMX rounds, I just catch up on RU-vid here on Australia. Do the pro 85cc class run at any of these events? If not, that is crazy. They should be run and shown in front of their adult hero's to build the sport back up like it used to be.
