We Ride a Full-Race 125 Two-Stroke You Can’t Buy in the USA

15 днів тому

#motocross #sports #motorcycle
This is a 2024 Fantic XX125 is only available to buy in Europe, but our friend Pasha Afshar was able to get two of these exotic two-strokes to California for us to test. We tested the stock 2024 model recently and in this video, we talk about the full-race Pasha XX125 with a Chris Heinrich-built engine, Coppersmith hybrid spring/air forks, Apex head, FMF pipe and silencer, Dubya wheels, Fasst Company Flexx handlebars and more. Of course, we took Pasha's XX125 out to Glen Helen Raceway to shake it down.

Thank u pasha for keeping 2 strokes alive. Absolutely no reason for them to disappear. They are fun. They can also be competitive if AMA rules changes to make them competitive against 4 strokes. Putting 125s against 250s and 250s against 450s was of course going to make them obsolete. Change the rules and make and get people back on 2 strokes! And don’t let that 2 stroke class disappear either. Thanks for bringing an exotic bike over for testing. So cool!

What’s funny is a 125/150 2 stroke makes the same power as a 250 4 stroke. It’ll blow your mind that a 250 2 stroke makes the same power as a 450

@braedeniscool3531 14 днів тому

@@xd_gangster693they’re comparable in power but the 4 stroke is definitely faster by a long shot that’s why most the pro guys ride them

@mikebrown41182 14 днів тому

@@xd_gangster693 A two stroke makes more power per cubic. But no a 250 two stroke do not make as much power as a 450. Stock KTM sx 250 two stroke is aprox 49-50, two and the KTM sxf 450 is around 54-55. Two independet magazines have dyno´d them on different dynos. A firebreather 250 two stroke makes 54-55 and that is highly tuned.

Agreed I love the two stroke sting 😊

@joelboutier1736 13 днів тому

It just like they say… THERE’S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT. Simply doubling the combustion strokes does not mean you get as much power as 4 stroke engine with double the displacement. That was the reasoning when they created the AMA rules for 125/250 & 250/450 classes. Riders noticed right away that it wasn’t fair so they had to switch to 4 strokes to stay competitive. That caused the decline of 2 strokes. There’s gotta be a better way to modify AMA rules that would give 2 strokes would a level playing field.

Maddi Fantic Factory team has been in the GPs for years in the EMX125 series, EMX250 series, MX2 series and this year they are doing quite well in MXGP. What’s with the “World” 2 stroke Championship, isn’t that the same as the EMX125 & EMX250 Championship but without any of current riders in those series attending, probably more accurate to call it the USA 2 stroke Championship 🇺🇸😎😂 The first Fantics ridden in the USA were at the MXoN at RedBud, Osterhagen and Toendel both on Team Norway rode their Factory Fantics in the MXGP and Open class

Stay safe out there, bro, and I enjoy all your content because you are a very intelligent when it comes to motocross and Supercross. I hope your brother‘s career turns around soon because I feel bad for him getting all these injuries and being a great team. he’s got the skill and talent.💯✌️🤙🇺🇸🙏👊✊

Probably knew someone in the military who was stationed in Italy and was shipping back to the States. When i was shipped to/from The Netherlands my bikes were crated and shipped with my household goods not like my cars and didnt need any paperwork like my cars did. The only thing customs wanted to know was it clean and didn't have any dirt on it......the same as any yard tools and such.

@kochj0713 13 днів тому

You know for a fact you have just brought the plastics, airbox, tank and seat for the yz125. They use the same chassis and engine as the 05-21 so it wouldn’t surprise me you used an old frame. They really wouldn’t smuggle 2 bikes and admit to it on camera because that’s pretty dumb. Cool bikes but don’t know why you gotta lie.

Shipping ANY bike is easy if you know someone in that country to just buy a bike in a crate and ship it out to you.. I have imported about 13 bikes from Japan just using Facebook friends in Japan that I know. I have shipped chassis from the UK into the USA and its not difficult or especially expensive to ship them if you really want that bike or those parts.
